Summary

"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.

shows will come to an official end and be transformed

into an entirely new podcast called Love and Learn. So what you'll see as a listener of this show,

you'll see the album artwork change. It's going to be an image of me holding a stack of books

0:36.2

on my head and we'll have the title love and learn now love

0:41.0

and learn it is an entirely different show it has a completely different concept where I am going

0:47.5

to take bestselling books and distill them down into life-changing concepts that are digestible

0:52.4

and actionable and healing to engage with,

0:54.6

even if you don't have the time to read.

0:56.6

Because I know you are busy and I want to help save you time.

1:00.4

So more wisdom, less time.

1:02.6

And you'll hear me say, reading is optional.

1:05.2

And I'm all for readings.

1:06.0

I do believe leaders are readers.

1:08.2

And so if you want to read along, we'll be going at a cadence in the beginning

book a week. With each book, I'm going to cover four key concepts that I think are really

1:24.1

important for you to go from theory to practice to mastery with your healing.

1:29.4

And we're going to be touching on subjects not just around food and body, but around self-love,
