Listen Later

"Love is really a state of safety... and when we're not in a state of fear, we can finally connect, with ourselves and others." – Kari Anderson

Have you ever felt like fear was running the show—whether in your relationship with food, your body, or your emotions? What if the key to breaking free was understanding how your nervous system works, and more importantly, learning how to shift it from protection mode into a state of safety and connection?

In one of the LAST episodes of The Recovery Warrior Shows before it transforms into Love & Learn, we sit down with trauma and eating disorder expert Kari Anderson, who sheds light on the science of your nervous system, also known as Polyvagal Theory. Kari reveals how the body holds onto fear and how love, safety, and connection are the antidotes. Ready to learn how this can transform your recovery?

Here’s a sneak peek into what we’ll cover:

  • How trauma impacts your nervous system and eating behaviors
  • Why Polyvagal Theory is the key to understanding your triggers
  • How love and connection help you climb the ladder toward healing
  • Simple steps to start calming your nervous system today

Kari’s insights are truly game-changing, and this episode will leave you with the tools to start feeling safe, connected, and on your way to becoming your best self.
