Episode 648 How Nervous System Health Shapes Recovery: A Conversation with Lane Kennedy (29 Years Sober)

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 646, I sit down with Lane Kennedy, a woman with 29 years of continuous sobriety and someone whose work deeply resonates with where so many of us are today. Lane is a Calm Living Docent who guides people toward optimal health through a powerful blend of DNA wisdom, meditation, mindfulness, and personalized nutrition. She’s also a mindfulness and nervous system regulation teacher, DNA functional nutritionist, and the author of Sobriety for Dummies.Lane and I talk about what long‑term recovery really looks like after decades of growth, motherhood, and unexpected health challenges — including her recent diagnosis of dysautonomia, which forced her to rethink her pace, her priorities, and her definition of “busy.”We dive into her early days getting sober in 90s Los Angeles, her years in the fashion world, and how she eventually found her way into the work she does now: helping people restore balance, boost vitality, and unlock the body’s natural capacity for healing. Her approach blends biochemistry, mindset, stress science, and lived experience — and you can feel that wisdom in everything she shares.In this episode, we explore:·       How nervous system health shapes sobriety at every stage·       Why so many of us feel overstimulated, anxious, or burnt out·       The impact of technology and constant dopamine hits on our emotional        stability·       Parenting in a tech‑saturated world·       The difference between real human connection and digital connection·       How recovery evolves over decades·       Why co‑regulation, community, and in‑person meetings still matter·       What it means to create more quiet, space, and presence in your lifeIf you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in “busy mode,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you — and how to come back to yourself.Thank you for listening.
