Episode Description from the Publisher

Ever find yourself needing your partner to reassure you that you’re okay, desirable, or enough? That’s emotional outsourcing—and it quietly drains intimacy and desire.In this episode, Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with Bea Victoria Albina to unpack how this pattern forms, why it shows up in both daily life and the bedroom, and how it can keep you stuck in cycles of disconnection. Together, they explore what it really means to take your power back—by reclaiming your voice, setting boundaries that actually hold, and rebuilding desire from the inside out.If you’ve been feeling a little too dependent on your partner’s validation (or just a little off in your connection), this conversation will help you shift the dynamic—without losing the relationship.Because desire doesn’t thrive on reassurance—it thrives on ownership.If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs a little reminder that they’re already enough—and don’t forget to follow, rate, and review the show to help more people find these conversations.Connect with Bea:WebsiteInstagram#EmotionalOutsourcing #IntimacyIssues #RelationshipPatterns #Desire #WomensDesire #MidlifeLove #SecureAttachment #Boundaries #SelfWorth #CouplesTherapy #SexTherapy #HealthyRelationships #PleasureProject #PodcastEpisode
