    Infinite wisdom
    Victoria’s depth of wisdom and heart is a gift. I’ve learned so much and feel confident because her knowledge comes from a lot of life experience, doing the work both for herself and with others for many years, and she has an understanding of the nervous system and the more “sciencey” aspects of healing that I feel is rare and special.
  • Gee, I am learning
    Highly recommended!
    This podcast has changed my life. I encourage you to listen.
  • Pockiesir
    Great for men too
    My wife shared an episode with me and I’m ready to listen to all of them.
  • Kansas55
    There are gems in each episode
    Victoria’s areas of expertise layer and complement each other. After listening to a dozen or more episodes I appreciate the blend of science, anecdote, and actionable suggestions, served up with effervescence and fuzzies. She is warm, human, and compassionate. I feel seen, heard and held, a not inconsequential impact from a pod! Thanks, Victoria and team!
  • Moriah Shaye
    Soooo grateful
    Victoria Albina is one of our greatest gifts and guides. I feel like this is all I’ve been given through all my communities and experiences yet trauma and this society still really did a number on me. I can’t believe how much she gets me, exactly what I need right now, exactly what we all need, especially for givers, highly sensitive beings, empaths and healers. I truly found her content and her guidance at the perfect time. It’s so helpful, so supportive and so loving and I want to be just like her for others!!!

  • Dom1116
    Full of gems!

    Changed my life
    I love this show. It has absolutely changed my life. Until I was 30, I lived without realizing I did so with codependent, people-pleasing habits that made me miserable. This podcast helped me leave a bad relationship, find a better job, and build myself up until I could identify and desire a good relationship - and eventually have one. I’m still building a better relationship with myself, and Victoria is my favorite guide through that journey.
  • Brit430
    Great advice
    Loving the love and gentleness Victoria puts forth. Also the approach and advice is straight forward and actionable!
  • Wendy Spring
    A life coach when I need it!
    This podcast makes me feel so good! Examples, compassion, specific actions and advice - creating wonderful feelings of possibility, opportunity, and joy. I, uncharacteristically, don’t even mind being referred to as a kitten. And this show is for everyone! Thank you Victoria- peace and love.
  • Shishedo13
    So necessary
    Every woman needs to hear this
  • JennGeeH
    Must listen !
    I discovered the podcast a few weeks ago when she was featured on another show and have been devouring her shows. So insightful and revealing to me where I’m at in my life. Her voice and words are so affirming and calming too. My favorite podcast and speaker.
  • 6dragonslayer9
    Excellent
    Incredibly informative and insightful. Victoria's manner of speaking is utterly delightful and brings lightness and relatability to dense subject matter.
  • TexaCali510
    Wonderful resource for a reset
    I stumbled across this podcast and it has been exactly what I was seeking right now. I appreciate her holistic approach to personal growth and reflection, mixing the data with all the feels. Thank you.
  • melodyuyu
    Exceptionally insightful, literally life changing, and palpably comforting
    I first discovered Feminist Wellness in the early days of the pandemic (and immediately caught up on all the episodes), and I can honestly say that this show has walked with me through so many different seasons of life, always being a light for the path. I don’t know Victoria personally, yet I feel like she is one of my dearest friends and a mentor who empowered me to recognize and live the life my heart desires. I wish Feminist Wellness on everyone.
  • B’nai
    Deeply integrating
    Victoria is generously offering a rich mix of tools & insights to lift our abilities to navigate this time in the world. So much gratitude for what I am learning, especially the episode on SHAME. I’ve shared many episodes with my coven & we are all healing together ❤️❤️❤️thank you for your insights!
  • Jam4four
    I'm learning so much!
    I recently happened upon this podcast. Thank you Victoria for helping me understand my next steps to emotional sovereignty. I am becoming healthier and my relationships are too.
  • Fresh Fruit Inspector
    We all need this.
    My entire 4 person, cis, lgbtq, nb, nd, combo household benefits from the healing and care Victoria shares. Were a house of nerds too, which just adds to the value. Listen. Subscribe. Share. Heal.
  • CarleyGetsZen
    Incredibly Helpful
    I’ve been listening to Feminist Wellness for over 2 years and it has truly changed my life. Victoria breaks down complex concepts into approachable little bites that have helped me understand myself and the world around me in a way I didn’t know was possible.
  • footwhisperer
    Insightful advice to improve joyful living
    Just started listening to this on advice of a friend who also works in health care. The positive discussions about real life human thoughts and interactions provided insightful, evidence based advice to improve joyful living. Can’t wait to hear more episodes! My new commute go to!

    The Podcast I Didn’t Know I Needed
    I appreciate the insights! I’m looking at things from a new perspective that speaks to what I’ve needed to hear for a very long time.
  • wonderwander
    heck yes
    such a wealth of goodness - weaving important and imperative concepts with genuine knowledge, care, and the right dose of goofy realness. i find myself revisiting certain episodes to re-absorb. episodes get right into it and are not too long, which i appreciate.
  • HLWoodlet
    Good mental/emotional wellness advice
    This show is really helpful for anyone who is trying to recover from self-abandonment / compulsive helping / overcompensating in relationships.
  • Kells Bones
    Life changing
    I appreciate this free knowledge! Thank you so much, Vic! I have listened to a few episodes upwards of four times to wrap my head around the concepts. I hope to give back to humans in the same magnitude such as this one day 🥰
  • bigswell
    So funny and loving
    I love Victoria’s sunshiny yet no nonsense way of laying out realities of good mental hygiene. The mom I wished I’d had. She’s a wonderful adjunct to therapy for those of us on the healing path. Really grateful I found her!
  • jellioday
    I feel held
    Love love love this show. The subject matter always feels relevant and insightful. She offers strategies and a frame of mind that I can bring back into my life. I also like her gentle and caring approach.
  • MarsMwenja
    One of my fave podcasts!!
    This podcast and Vic’s work has changed my life! I love love love this podcast, so relevant to things I’m going through and full of TOOLS to help me open up capacity to move differently
  • dementor2008
    So good!
    Victoria is so good at explaining complex ideas about our bodies, minds, and souls! I discovered her when I googled “functional freeze”, and I have since gone back to the beginning and started listening to the episodes in order. So, so, so good! I am almost 50, have been in and out of therapy for over 20 years, read all the books, and tried all the things. The part I was missing was how the body plays into it all! Thank you, Victoria, for putting this good work out into the world!
  • JulieCW7677
    Great podcast!
    This podcast keeps me sane! Highly recommend!
  • Ruth_Ruth
    Life Changing
    Victoria’s work has changed my life for the better. As a relatively new listener who has yet to deep dive into the archives, I’ve already gained tools that have helped me shift patterns in how I communicate in my most central relationships—including the one with myself.
  • Amysown
    Good content, but sounds like a dramatic poetry reading
    I like the very relatable topics, but it sounds like I’m being read an essay that was prepared and now is being performed.
  • TatianaSD
    A MUST LISTEN
    Every episode teaches me about my codependent, perfectionism, people pleasing actions that have caused me to be exhausted and resentful. If you are ready to put yourself FIRST (yikes), then please listen. I went back all the way to the beginning episodes and am so thankful to Victoria for being who she is - I love the science behind it all! She is an amazing force of science-nerd-witch-power!
  • Chey.Rod
    Get ready to have your life changed
    Victoria’s podcast episodes have helped me put words to experiences I didn’t know how to explain to others, and release a lot of the fears and shame I had around having those experiences and feeling like something was wrong with me. After a single episode on functional freeze, I was a hooked listener. Every episode leaves me more educated about my body and empowered on how to better care for it than before - what more could you ask for from a wellness podcast? Though I have an advanced research background, I love the way Victoria breaks concepts down in ways that are easy for anyone to understand, AND incorporates somatic work into her episodes. She understands the ways her content can have an impact on her listeners, and provides active care while sharing the information because of that. I would highly recommend taking one of her free Polyvagal Theory workshops when she offers them - they are mind blowing! I love Victoria’s work so much that I applied to her Anchored program. Fingers crossed I am accepted! This work has already changed my life that I think I will leave the program a completely different and more healed person.
  • EricaB310
