This week Rye + Jess chat with Victoria Albina (NP), Certified Life Coach, Breathwork Guide and Host of the “Feminist Wellness” Podcast.  Victoria has a passion for helping women realize that they are their own best healers, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people-pleasing and reclaim their joy!
