Episode 124: My Drug of Choice: A Body in Crisis Mode
In a time when "rawness," "vulnerability," and "authenticity" are leveraged, exploited and commodified, I am careful and discerning about what I share of my private life. My paramount objective is always to provide value - I will only share something if I think it could potentially do so.
That being said, in this episode I sit down with my sister Brooke Anderson to discuss something very personal: a recent and serious health reckoning and what led to it.
I open up about a pivotal moment in my childhood driving my sense of unworthiness
I highlight what happens when we betray ourselves and our bodies
I talk about what happens when we outsource our validation and constantly seek to "prove" ourselves
I cover ways we maladaptively self-soothe and emotionally regulate
I advise on doing less to accomplish more
I share what finally changed the game for me and offer resources and tips for achieving overall wellness by embracing natural rhythms and cycles
Whether your body is currently in crisis mode or not, I'm willing to bet this episode will resonate with you.
Thank you for listening.
