Victoria Albina is a health and life coach who trained as a family nurse practitioner. In her coaching practice, she specializes in helping women take their lives back from codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing thought habits, and she’s here this week to show us why codependency is a feminist issue, and how it relates to our nervous systems.
Learning to love yourself as you are and believing you are deserving of compassion, care and support is no joke. We all have wounded parts and primitive instincts or patterns of dysfunction that we carry with us, and committing to the process we call self-development to heal often feels terrible. To talk us through what happens when we become radically truthful with ourselves, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Shefali Tsabary.
Women especially waste so much time and energy being obsessed with imagining what other people are thinking, trying to change what they’re thinking, feeling, or doing, and adapting our behaviors based on what we think is going on for them. As usual, there’s nothing wrong with you if you notice this happening in your life, but it’s a losing game that we can learn to turn around.
I’m having a conversation with two ACFC graduates who identify as more politically and religiously conservative. Judith Gaton and Simone Seol are two returning podcast favorites, and they’re here to share the evolution of their beliefs about feminism, and their experience of thinking beyond the political progressive-conservative binary in our advanced feminist work.
This conversation is in no way a condemnation of a single religion, but an exploration of how being raised in a patriarchal religion, which so many people are, impacts the way we think about and see the world. Whether you’ve experienced a faith crisis yourself or not, I think you’ll leave with a new perspective on the impact of the patriarchy on religion.
Chernique, Natasha, and Keli outline how they see money mindset issues coming up in their businesses, and the money thought work they’ve had to do on themselves. We’re exploring the myriad of reasons women find it so controversial to want money, and the differences in socialization between men and women around what it means to have and want money.
