What if your perfectionism isn’t a flaw — it’s a survival strategy?In this episode of Say It Out Loud, Vasavisits down with the brilliant and unfiltered Béa Albina — UCSF-trained nurse practitioner, somatic experiencing practitioner, master certified life coach, and author of End Emotional Outsourcing.Together, they unpack why so many high-achieving women are still trapped in people-pleasing cycles, how our nervous systems are wired for self-abandonment, and why “just breathe” isn’t always the answer.Béa breaks down the science behind Emotional Outsourcing — her term for the unconscious ways we hand our power, peace, and self-worth to everyone but ourselves — and how to finally come home to your body, your truth, and your voice.If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, this episode is your wake-up call.Connect with Béa: Instagram → @beatrizvictoriaalbinanp Book → End Emotional Outsourcing (out September 2025) Website → beatrizalbina.comConnect with Vasavi: Instagram → @mynameisvasavi | Learn more → vasavikumar.comSend us Fan Mail Support the showResources + Links 👇🏽 Join The Out Loud SchoolExplore more of my workRead my book, Say It Out LoudGet my 4-Part Series: Make Your Own Damn Stage

After a few months off the mic, I’m back!!!! Not to explain the gap, but to talk about what actually changed while I was living instead of broadcasting.In this episode, I share what building The Out Loud School has been teaching me about voice, leadership, and showing up in real-time. I talk about navigating grief after losing my dad, and how that cracked open new layers of honesty and softness in my life. I also get into the connection between love and money — worthiness, receiving, letting yourself be supported — and how doing that inner untangling has made life and business feel more spacious and more fun.This isn’t a “comeback,” it’s a continuation. A reminder that visibility isn’t about constant output. It’s about being rooted in who you are when you do choose to speak.If you’re in a season of becoming, integrating, or reclaiming your voice on your own timeline, this one will land. And if you want a place to practice being seen in real time, come join us inside The Out Loud School.

Let’s get one thing straight: Women aren’t quiet because they lack confidence. They’re quiet because the culture taught them it’s safer that way.In this episode of Say It Out Loud, I’m breaking down why “just speak up” is some of the laziest, most surface-level advice given to women in corporate spaces — and why it completely misses the point.Visibility isn’t a confidence issue. It’s a culture issue. And culture is shaped by leadership, not by how loud someone speaks in a meeting.I’m diving into: 🔥 Why confidence isn’t the solution — safety is. 🔥 How broken leadership communication creates visibility gaps. 🔥 Why organizations keep trying to “fix” individuals instead of fixing culture. 🔥 The truth about psychological safety and trust inside leadership. 🔥 How The Out Loud Visibility Method™ creates space for real change.If you’re tired of the performative “speak up” rhetoric and ready for conversations that address the real problem, this one’s for you.Visibility isn’t optional. Communication shapes culture. Leadership starts with how you listen.Send us Fan Mail Support the showResources + Links 👇🏽 Join The Out Loud SchoolExplore more of my workRead my book, Say It Out LoudGet my 4-Part Series: Make Your Own Damn Stage

The things I used to obsess over? The overthinking, the self-doubt, the constant need to get it “right”? I don’t have the capacity for that anymore. I’m not the same person I was before he died.If you’ve ever lost someone… if you’re navigating grief… or if you just feel like life has shifted you into a new version of yourself—this one’s for you.Unfiltered. Unscripted.
