Hey girl, welcome back to the Her Best Self world! On the podcast today, I'm talking about how you can nourish your body when maybe you have portion anxiety or a fear around weight gain and so you simply don't know what portions to have. Do you find yourself asking these questions? "Am I eating too much? Am I eating too little?" If so, Episode 186 is New and just for you! I hope that your week is starting off strong, sis, just as you keep getting stronger in the truth and more grounded in the reality that you are no longer hanging out with this wannabe friend, the eating disorder. She isn't coming with you in 2025~ Which brings me to reflect on 2024 and I just wanted to share my gratitude with you for reading my emails, listening to the show...all the things. I am honored to hold your hand as you recover! Did you know, when you become a client with HBS Co., I have this board that I put your name on and that's for all clients, whether you're a current client, whether you're a past client, whether you're one of my coaching clients to become a coach, to help other clients, like It doesn't matter. Your name goes on the board. And typically when I'm recording the show, I look at that board. I have it right next to me because it is a constant reminder of the lives. The change that happens when you step forward, raise your hand and make a commitment to do something differently....with support! Sis, if you've sought out help. And whether that's me as your coach or another coach that you are also listening to, I want you to know I'm proud of you. It takes a courageous person to step out in faith, scared to death and realize they don't want this for their life anymore. And so I see you, I continue to look up at that board and just relish and the names that are there. I mean, it is wild. I love it because it is a constant grounding reminder of the work that happens when you invest in yourself and step into truth. Here is truth for your Tuesday: Freedom is possible for you. And this fear of what if I can't stop eating? Well, I want to pull up a seat at your table friend and love on you because I lived in this exact terrifying reality. Here comes the tough Lindsey love: Nothing changes, sis, if nothing changes. Everything that you are doing in your life right now is a result of actions and beliefs that you have put on up to this point. In order to see a change, you're going to have to change and you're going to have to do something differently. You're going to have to take action. And in my own personal recovery, I remember being in this exact spot and not really knowing how or what to do next. I knew I couldn't trust myself, but not really knowing who to trust. And so I want to invite you today. If you're looking for support, please don't do this another year by yourself.

Hey girl, it's a great today to have a great day! Today I have a special treat for you. I have been getting questions in my inbox about the masterclass that we recently did in November, where I shared all about the common misconceptions of eating disorder recovery and what you can do right now today if you're struggling with disordered eating. I had so much fun in that masterclass that I just wanted to bring a couple of bits and pieces of that class and that experience to you in case maybe you wanted to attend and you were unable to attend, or maybe you're new here and you knew nothing about it. (We will be doing an upcoming masterclass very soon in the new year, but until then, I'm going to share with you some highlights from the masterclass that I feel like you can use right now.) Episode 185 is going to help you end the year strong and start a new year even stronger.

Hey sis, oh my gosh, have we made it? Have we arrived? Is everyone in one piece? I feel like the days and weeks up to the holiday can be treacherous. Am I the only one? I just feel like the 'to-do' list never ends and everyone's running around like crazy pants. I'm just over here trying to be Mama Elf without forgetting to move the Elf on the Shelf after putting the boys to bed. LOL Anyways, let's dive in to today's show. I'm talking all about that huge mistake that you're most likely making right now as you battle this unhealthy relationship with food and your body. And I'm going to give you two strategies that you can implement today that are going to help you overcome and actually get to freedom. If you're always looking for 'the thing' that is going to set you free and you just don't understand why this feels so hard for you...Then today's podcast episode is FOR YOU SIS! One of the biggest mistakes that I see in coaching countless of women in recovery, (including my own self and my own recovery journey) is you get to a point of functioning, but you're struggling so much and you're like, "is this it?" "Is this as good as it gets?" ALERT ->This ISN'T IT for you sweet friend! And today I wanted to shout into your ear that your dream is achievable. There is more for you. You haven't arrived yet, and that's okay. I want you to know you're okay, you're here, I see you, you're right where you need to be. And if you're always looking for the next thing, then you're most likely doing it wrong from the start. (And I say that with so much love because I did it wrong for so very long.) The struggle is certainly real, but in order to build a battle plan for your recovery, you need to let go of it needing to look a certain way. I'm going to say that one again for you. To build a battle plan for the blueprint of your recovery, you need to let go of it looking a certain way. ~ Tune in to this one girl & share it with a friend! I hope it inspires you & encourages you to step out with courage, as you challenge yourself this holiday season to stop settling & start thriving!

Hey sis, How has your week gone? I don't know about you but I am exhausted...yet not the same level of exhaustion that I use to operate at when I was stuck in the destructive cycle of an eating disorder. But I share this with you because maybe you have been trying to do everything "perfect" this season, yet you feel like you've failed. Sis, the cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted. It left me stuck in the messy middle of anorexia. ~ Society will tell you to be thin, but not too thin. Be confident, but not overly confident. And be successful, but not too successful. If you're with me and you experience the pressure to be perfect, this is a perfect paradox and it is time to dump the impossible standards that are destroying your mental health, linked directly to eating disorder behaviors, and it's time to stand in your truth. In Episode 184, I share scientific research about the cost of perfection and what you can do about it as you step into the best you in the upcoming year. I'm so excited for your listen of today's show. I truly believe it's going to CHANGE the way you show up for yourself. xo, lindsey ps: don't forget about the BLACK FRIDAY SALE that is happening at Her Best Self Co., if you have been wanting to experience 1:1 coaching and how it can propel your recovery forward, then NOW is the time before prices go up in 2025.

Happy Tuesday sis! I hope you are enjoying the pre-Thanksgiving vibes & hopefully you are getting ready for turkey day! I am all over the place as I LOVE this time of year, but to be fair your girl needs more TIME in the next few days....so I'm playing one of the most favorite episodes on the Her Best Self Pod today. My hope is this will hit you right where you need it. I just know it will change the way you experience your holiday this week. ~ Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through social media, feeling like everyone else has it all figured out? Like somehow you're the only one still struggling? Today, we're breaking down the science of comparison, perfectionism, and most importantly – the six research-backed strategies that can help you break free. The first step to self-acceptance is to STOP unhealthy comparison. As humans we are going to compare ourselves to others. It is in our nature to watch others. This is how we learn. But, if we look long enough, we will find someone who has done more, who has more & who seems to have it all together. In the eating disorder world, comparing your journey to someone else's does NOTHING but rob your TRUTH. In today's show, I discuss 6 strategies to help you stop the comparisonitis, so that you can start showing up & comparing you vs. you. You have so much to give to the world. When you are captivated with purpose, you won't be stuck in comparison. Do you need a break-up with social media, so you can experience a breakthrough in your recovery?! If so, this could be your saving grace. I am so happy to have you here! Here is your reminder today if you struggle with comparing yourself to others: "You are God's Masterpiece, & He has created you a new in Jesus, which He prepared in advance for you to do!" ~Ephesians 2:10 Friend, stop keeping yourself from your best self. Stop looking around & start looking UP!

Happy Friday sister! We have arrived. Actually, I secretly wish I could sleep the day away because my bed is cozy & even though I do enjoy this time of year there is just SO MUCH To DO! Speaking of which, are you ready for turkey day? I will be showing up at my in-laws pies in hand & ready to enjoy all the holiday brings. However, this wasn't always the case for me. For a decade I spent my life dreading this holiday. I would legit fantasize about how I could get out of being around "all that food" & even around my family, who I thought was watching me with each bite. Are you feeling this way? You don't have to sit in this mess & let it become who you are and that be it. This is just a speed bump. This is just a blimp in your journey here. If you are a loved one of someone who struggles with an eating disorder and you are unsure of what to do next, you don't have to have it all figured out, but it is important to get as educated as possible so you can help support your person. In Episode 183, I'm going to be talking about boundaries & what to do when your family just doesn't understand. ~ Boundaries are a better you, & in order to be the BEST version of you, you have to put some boundaries in place. It's so important. If you struggle with disordered eating, it's vital that you understand in some form or fashion that it affects and hurts every person close to you in your life. Yes, this is an isolating disease, but it echoes to everyone around you. It's like a domino. It just dominoes over & you can be in your own feels & you can think that it's not harming people that are in your circle. But if you don't have energy, you're snapping at your kids. If you don't have energy, you're nasty to your husband. If you aren't nourishing yourself or eating properly, you're not honoring yourself and therefore you're not giving your best version to everyone else. My goal today is that this helps you as you head into the holidays & that it encourages you to keep walking along your path to freedom.

Hey there my sweet friend~ As we enter into the last 43 days of the year, how do you want to finish? Like really...how do you want to end 2024? Sit on this one sis! You're going to finish strong. You are going to hit 2025 where it didn't even know it was being hit. But in order to do so -> What needs to go in your life? What needs to change and what needs to get the wave as you say goodbye to it? In Episode 182, I provide some strategies for you to get you thinking and planning in advance for your BEST year yet. ~ To enter in to next year without bringing all the junk that you want to leave behind requires a present reality check. Which means you have to acknowledge the journey so far, and celebrate all the wins and all the progress that you've made this year, even if to you that feels like not a lot. So many times I'm talking to clients and ladies and they're telling me that they feel like they're behind or they should be further along or they haven't yet arrived and they're mucking through this journey day after day after day in the mundane and feeling like they're not moving forward. It's so important that you celebrate those small wins. Maybe you're not where you want to be YET. But I want you to honor the struggle and the challenges. And I want you to celebrate what has changed because there is good underneath it all if you search for it :) I encourage you to give this one a listen and share it with someone you love! Plus, I'd be honored to be YOUR recovery coach.

Hey GF! Can you believe Turkey Day is right around the corner? I know right....me either. Time surely does fly! As I sat to reflect & record the podcast, it hit me that the anxiety that I used to get days leading up to Thanksgiving was non-existent, & I knew I needed to share that hope with you today friend. If you are anxious about the upcoming season of food & more food, followed by thoughts about food & triggers from family or the feeling of "being judged" by others because you will be surrounded by food, then you will enjoy today's show. In Episode 181.5, I share 11 things that you can be thankful for when you just aren't "feeling it" this Thanksgiving. Some of these things may even surprise you! So make sure you get a journal & pen & jot them down to help you as you navigate the upcoming holidays. Plus, I'd be honored if you shared this one with someone you love that may struggle with disordered eating & could use a positive dose of inspo this season. I am so very thankful for you friend! & always remember...you are worthy. You are enough. You are creating the very BEST version of you...one day at at time. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Have you ever wondered what life would be like on the other side of your eating disorder? Not just surviving, sis, but truly living? Stay with me because today's podcast episode might just change everything for you. I want to welcome you back, friend, because Episode 181 is different & it's incredibly special to my heart. I'm speaking directly to you if you feel trapped by your eating disorder, especially if the thought of recovery feels overwhelming. I see you friend, I hear you, & most importantly, I have something transformative to share with you. Let me paint a picture that might feel familiar... You wake up thinking about food, your days are consumed by rules & restrictions. You're exhausted from fighting your body & just trying to survive this thing called life. & deep down, you dream of this freedom, but the thought of getting there...uhm...Do I know this place intimately, because I have lived there. & today I want to share something that could be your first step toward real freedom. Here's what I've discovered after working with hundreds of women in recovery. The reason most people stay stuck isn't lack of desire for freedom. It's not even lack of information. It's something much deeper. It's something that traditional treatment often misses completely. I've learned that it's in the transformation, it's the belief, it's in the not yet readiness that we actually find our place & that we heal. I can't put one word on it, like I can't give it this miraculous transformational word because it's a feeling that is just a feeling, it doesn't exist in terms of a word. When you feel empowered, when your soul feels awakened, & when your life is changed...truly changed because you've conquered your own mind & your own self. There is nothing like that. A feeling of inspiration, a feeling of liberation. & this revelation led me to create something super special for you. So today's mini pod episode is to introduce the masterclass that I'm doing tomorrow, November 13th at 2 p. m. Eastern, & it is not too late for you to join us. Can't wait to see you sis!

Hey sis! I am so excited to drop a brand new episode on the Her Best Self podcast! If you struggle with overthinking and constantly overanalyzing your choices along with your decision making, & you just wonder if you will ever escape the nonsense...then today I want you to listen in to Episode 180. It is so important when you're looking for certainty in life in the moment, you start with how you're making your own personal decisions and that goes for recovery, but also just for every other thing in your current circumstances. You are making a ton of decisions on the daily and you can sit in analysis paralysis if you aren't aware. You can sit in self sabotage & you can sit in perfection. & so if you've questioned, "what do I need to eat next? when can I eat next? what can I have next?" & you're struggling with that in your mind regularly...part of this is just a tactic that the eating disorder is doing to get you confused & caught off guard. But I'm going to help you make better decisions today. Tune in to Episode 180 to learn what the 51% rule is & share it with a friend! xo, lindsey **p.s.: don't forget to sign up for the free masterclass where I teach you how 3 powerful truths to conquer your eating disorder.

How is your Tuesday going sis?! I am over here squealing because we are so close to the upcoming masterclass. If you have no idea what I am talking about, just register! You are going to want to hang out with us on November the 13th. If you are searching for freedom, if you feel like recovery just isn't possible right now for you and your life and the season of life that you're in, I want to encourage you to go out and register for the masterclass. It's completely free and you can hang out with me and a bunch of amazing ladies who are going to be joining us as well. Click this link & you are all set! www.herbestself.co/masterclass ~ Okay, let's switch gears! Today on the podcast, we're talking about rejection because your girl has had a life experience of rejection. And if you have been chasing perfectionism. Then you actually have been trying to prevent rejection in your own life. You see perfectionism is rejection prevention. It's the way that our brain and our mind tries to avoid the pain and the emotional trauma of feeling the "not enoughness". And the eating disorder that you may have developed over time, it offers this illusion of protection and it gives you that false comfort. In Episode 179, I want to talk about my rejection story and some of the examples of rejection in my life. I'm going to share a special story with you, with hopes that you will meet me there and hopes that you will find yourself in this place. Because the truth is that if we can look at our rejection story, we can create it into our redemption story. Recovery will be your biggest transformation. You can use the pain over all the years of your rejection to elevate you and to give you power as you move forward and embrace the imperfect mess that you are. I so believe you are enough! You don't need to fear rejection any more! You totes got this! xo, lindsey **p.s.: don't forget to sign up for the free masterclass where I teach you how 3 powerful truths to conquer your eating disorder.

Happy Friday! And not just any Friday, but here in the states, it's POST Halloween Friday, which simply means kids are high on sugar & mom's are running on fumes! But enough of the Halloween scaries, in Episode 178.5 of the podcast I wanted to bring back a message that is one of my all time favs! This one is going to light a fire under you today girl & have you showing up VICTORIOUS as you crush your day and head into the weekend. ~ A victim is a person who is deceived or cheated by their own emotions. A victor is a person who defeats an enemy, opponent & conquers the very struggle set out to destroy them. Are you a victim or a victor? Sis, you are not the victim of your current life & circumstances. You are a product of your choices. & yes, maybe some of those choices weren't the best....but if choices got you here, choices can get you out! In Episode 178.5, I share the power of CHOICE. Your choice! & I discuss 6 choices you can make right now to move you from Victim to Victor. The truth is, you deserve to live life FREE from the chains of disordered eating. You deserve to be present with the people you love & to experience more of the places you enjoy. You see, just because you aren't their yet...is more proof that now is the very best time! Victors see challenges as opportunities -> Victims see challenges as evidence of a hard life. Victors look for hope -> Victims say stuck in fear. Victors plan for the future -> Victims worry about the future, constantly revisiting the past & never fully living in the present. Which are you sweet friend? I believe you are a mighty warrior & conqueror of this eating disorder. I believe it's possible for you!

It's Transformation season my girl! It's time to lean in & embrace the season of fall.

Gosh the year is just flying, isn't it? Lately, I've been asked by women battling an unhealthy relationship with food & their body if recovery was worth it. Am I truly happy now? And I've seen so many women make the mistake of believing the lies. The lies that they will be miserable once they gain weight or that once they commit to putting their health first, they just won't like who they are. Many women I work with 1:1, actually come to me feeling like they are stuck in this never-ending cycle of an eating disorder & they just aren't sure they will ever escape from it. I feel that on so many levels. & I have sat with all of those same thoughts & beliefs. But I Recovered. & sis, so can you! Today's episode is a special one, because I wanted to share with you 8 reasons why my battle with anorexia was the BEST thing that happened FOR me in my life, in hopes it gives you some assurance & peace. Sister, sometimes the BEST thing & the WORST thing, can be the SAME thing! My eating disorder was the BEST, WORST thing that I have experienced, & I am truly grateful for the process of recovery. Robert Adams says, "There is only one decision you need to make: you are either working at your freedom or you are accepting your bondage." Stop staying chained where you are sweet friend! There is so much more to this thing called life. My question for you today is: What is your freedom worth to you? ~ I hope today's show touches your soul & helps provide PROOF to you, that recovery is possible & that there is LIFE after an eating disorder. There is freedom available for you! I pray you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life. with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞www.lindseynichol.com/apply-for-coaching ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

No but for realssss...go run (not walk) & listen to Episode 177 of the Her Best Self Podcast today, where I share with you the "Day Dare Method" & how you can create positive & lasting change in your life by simply "daring" yourself! ~ Do you remember the game "truth or dare" from your childhood? Those were the days... Well even if you have zero idea what I'm talking about, I encourage you to listen in to how you can "dare" yourself daily to help get you out of "stuckness" into ACTION. In this episode, I discuss what a "day dare" is & how you conduct one of your own. I even provide examples for you to implement & share how you can continue to build on your day dares over time for momentum & progression as you heal from years of disordered eating behaviors. ~ "You don't grow when things are easy sis, you grow when you face double-dog dares."

This year is flying by! How is it going for you sis? The truth over here is we are one baseball weekend to the next & I am doing my best to keep up with both boys, while granting myself permission to rest at the same dang time. I'm sure you feel me. My biggest advice: snacks on snacks! This baseball mom must have all snacks on deck for survival in the busy season. But it wasn't always that way for me....you see, I use to avoid snacks. I would tell myself that I could snack but only instead of eating a real meal. Any extras seemed scary...& at that point in my life...unnecessary. What changed? Well, I knew if I wanted to get somewhere I hadn't gone, then I had to do something that I hadn't done. So I followed my dietician's advice, & I packed snacks with me every time I left the house, so that I would never be in the position to skip eating. I ate the snacks...& the real meal. & after years of recovering myself, I wanted to bring to you a podcast episode around what traits & I feel are the core characteristics of those who have recovered. Listen in to Episode 176.5, I hope this one blesses you today friend! hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Happy Tuesday sis! Monday was a complete blur. And if I'm honest, I'm still catching up from the weekend & week before! How about you? Do you have those weeks where you feel like you have been thrown right into the next week, yet you are still trying to play "catch up" from all the "to-dos"? That is me lately! But I'm grateful to be popping into your inbox & ear, as I share a new podcast episode with you. In Episode 176, I discuss the concept of a True-up Tuesday! This is like a start of the week check-in with you to ensure you are aligning your goals with where you are headed as you press forward in the creation of your best self. I always find Tuesday check-ins to be better than Monday check-ins because... well, Monday has the blues & the shenanigans! There is a TON of pressure that Monday brings. Tuesday is just Tuesday! I mean think about the last time you missed a goal that you promised yourself you would start "next Monday". Then the day comes & goes & you feel like a failure (again) pushing it to the next week. But how about just starting over on Tuesday?! How about having a Tuesday true-up? In this episode, I provide a tangible reflection that you can work through to help you check your priorities & get working on your wants, dreams & desires no matter what day of the week! ~ STOP believing the lie that being productive means being successful. Stop believing the lie that you have to DO more & BE more in order to find happiness & therefore BE worthy. Stop believing the lie that you have to please everyone else & get everything done perfectly in order to "arrive". ~ You are allowed to heal & grow. You are allowed to forgive & grieve. You are allowed to love others while also learning to honor yourself & your body with adequate nourishment. You are allowed to have a crappy Monday & to start again on Tuesday without any judgement. ~ Ask yourself this question: "What do I need to do LESS of this week, so that I can do MORE of the thing that is going to get me to freedom?" ~ Put down that checklist & pick up your notebook for this one! I promise to leave you inspired, motivated & ready for whatever the rest of the week brings your way. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey girl HEYY! How is your Friday? I hope it is starting out oh soooo well! But to make it even better, I'd love for you to join me in another coaching over coffee episode on the HBS podcast today! If you are new here, I just wanted to hop into your inbox to say THANK YOU for listening to the Her Best Self Podcast! & if you are a veteran, I am so grateful that you trust in me week after week to bring you juicy, raw & real content that you can binge on to help support your relationship with food & your body. ~ In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 175 I answer the question: "What Can I Do To Increase Portion Sizes & Up my Food Intake When I'm Just Not 'Feeling It'?" ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): If you find yourself here, this is typically because you have a deep routed fear that if you increase food, you will gain weight. I mean, what if you don't know how to stop eating? Gosh, have I been there! What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from ED & the only way around it is to shift your perspective & begin to accept that maybe your body just isn't supposed to be controlled, forced or manipulated into a size. When you live life from a place of restriction...you believe you aren't allowed to have something, you shame yourself & you go against what it is you actually want....CONTROL, PEACE & FREEDOM. Body Acceptance is Key! But increasing your food gradually is also very helpful! ~ You can learn to embrace nourishment & to honor your body in all that it DOES for you! If you are looking for practical tips to help you with reframing your thoughts around food intake, then today's show is perfect for you. I hope this episode gives you more permission to do the next right thing! I believe in you :) ~ Listen in to this one & don't forget to come share your thoughts & feedback with us in our private facebook community! & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email directly at [email protected]. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Oh hey sis! A new day awaits us! & I cannot wait to share with you one of my most favorite songs: "You Say" by Lauren Daigle. If you do nothing else today, listen to this song as you clean the kitchen, go for a walk, or relax in child's pose. Speaking of yoga...I was doing my usual downward dogging, when this hit my playlist & brought me so many feels. I just knew I must share the lyrics with you! ~ I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know Ooh-oh You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And you say I am held when I am falling short And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours And I believe Oh, I believe What You say of me I believe... ~ This song inspired me to record Episode 174, where I share with you truths of finding self worth within you & moving from a false sense of self to your absolute BEST self! I walk you through a mindfulness technique to ground you & encourage you. + if you struggle with never feeling good enough, or as if you are constantly failing, today's show will bring you peace & guide you forward to embrace self-compassion, so that you start showing up differently, while believing you deserve more for your life. Here is the real honest fact: You do deserve more! ~ Sis, when you challenge & change what is inside of you, things actually change around you. You are worth fighting for. You are worth loving. There is a radical need for your uniqueness in this world.

Hey girl! I hope you are rolling into Friday with fire under you as you fight the good fight of navigating freedom from disordered eating. Reality -> breaking free from controlling thoughts & behaviors is tough! & the fact that you are hanging in there is proof that freedom from this CAN & WILL happen in your life. In today's episode, I discuss the 4 "P's" that are pivotal in your recovery journey, & perfection is NOT one of them! You see, maybe you don't have the full & complete roadmap to recovery "just yet", but with these 4 critical elements you will be that much closer to finding the freedom you so desperately deserve. I believe, the biggest lie about your purpose is that you find it. You don't FIND purpose, you CHOOSE purpose. Sister, you were created for a PURPOSE. Stop spending one more day at war with yourself & your body, so that you can leap into the freedom of your future....leaving ED behind once & for all! ~ "To persist, you must treasure the dream more than any amount of cost that you will sacrifice in order to obtain it." ~Richelle Goodrich ~ I hope today's show touches your soul & uplifts you as you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life. with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hello there friend! Happy OCTOBER 1st! Ahhh how the season is changing here in Virginia! The leaves are starting to fall along with other things...lol, which brings me to my first question... Have you ever been hit upside the head by an acorn? I sure hope not! It's not the most pleasant experience - haha. This happened to me on my morning walk today & it was if nature itself gave me a big "ah ha" breakthrough. You see, if I'm completely transparent with you, lately I've been coming up against some pretty big & terrifying changes in my life & business. & if I'm honest, I've been avoiding & procrastinating & getting tired of trusting the process. So much so, I've questioned if I'm even on the right path in the first place. Have you ever found yourself here? Questioning if the future you want is more than just a dream? The question I asked myself this morning while reflecting was: What does it actually mean to "trust the process"? I mean, does the process even know you are trusting it? ~ The truth is our minds love FACTS, & therefore it can be really hard to release control & trust details of your life to the unknown...even if you believe that God has your back. In Episode 173, I share very real details of what I learned on my morning walk & what to do when you find yourself wanting to "trust the process", but you just...don't yet! ~ The good news: seasons change sis....& so do you! ~ I encourage you to listen in to today's show & allow yourself to be present in the moment as I share my story with you. I'm so honored for your listen of the podcast & hope you send this one to someone you love! + I would love for you to reply back here if you enjoy Episode 173! with recovery hugs, lindsey __________________________________ Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey girl hey, can I get a TGIF!!!? Okay okay...I admit I'm so excited for the weekend because I get to rep my black & yellow (baseball mom era over here!) But I'm also very excited to bring you a new episode on the podcast today. If you are like me & most of the women I coach, you are highly successful in your life. But, recovering from years of unhealthy behaviors with food & awful thoughts about your body feels truly hard to overcome. What you need to know: core beliefs you've established since childhood are playing a big part in where you are right now & learning to shift these beliefs can literally break the chains that are holding you captive. In Episode 172, I share the 3 types of core beliefs, how they are fueling disordered eating behaviors & what you can do to transform these cycles. You DO NOT want to miss today's episode... I repeat...don't miss this one girl! ~ I encourage you today to recognize how your beliefs are impacting your current reality. Keep going. Keep fighting. Don't give up.

You can choose today to BELIEVE that positive change is coming your way any minute. ~ + I created Episode 171 of the podcast to help reframe your thinking & your BELIEF to get you on the right track.

I was lost. Exhausted. Constantly thinking about what I could eat next & when I could eat it. I was miserable. & I spent years in the same wonky cycle trying to convince myself that everything was fine & I was fine....oh how I was so far from fine. Fast Forward to my "ah-ha"....I hated life & I craved a better way. But in the process of creating more for myself I came across my own personal lack of BELIEF. The only way out girl, was through. & the same goes for you. But the good news is, if you are constantly feeling doubtful & discouraged...you can take steps today to start feeling more motivated & hopeful. The same steps I took as I crawled myself out of the deep dark hole I found myself in with anorexia. ~ Listen in to discover the 6 steps to help create more BELIEF in your life, so that you can start living the very best version of YOU!

Oh girl how I am ready for Friday! How about you? I can’t wait to share with you one of my fav topics today on the podcast: LEGACY! But what does this have to do with finding freedom from disordered eating patterns and behaviors? Well, it’s so important that you develop your “why” in recovery, so that you push yourself to leave behind the best version of yourself one day to those who love you! You see, you have a choice right now sister, do you want to stay trapped in the cycle of disordered eating, or do you want to become transformed into who you were made to be? If there is a gap from where you are now to where and who you want to be in the future, today's podcast episode is FOR YOU! You are not your body. You are not your things. You are not your problems. You are not your past. You are not your fears. You are not your unhealthy relationship with food. ~ In Episode 170.5, I talk about leaving a LEGACY. I discuss laying down false ideals and beliefs, so that you can reclaim your life, and make it worth living, while you still have the time. Freedom is yours sweet friend! The truth is...people remember how you make them feel, not how your body looks or what size your pants are. The truth is...when you put your head on your pillow each night, only you can be proud of you and make the daily choice to rise again the next morning, fierce and ready to take action against those obsessive thoughts inside of your head. The truth is...all of us will leave a legacy behind one day. What will yours be? Be remembered for the things that matter. (Unlike the number on the scale.)

Hey there! Shout out to all of my high achieving women! Oh sister friend, we are built from the same cloth for sure! I learned the hard way that progress is so much more important that perfection. & I found myself at rock bottom - still flawed & yet so far away from being perfect. ~ The desire to perfect in all the things will cripple you in life & recovery from disordered eating if you aren't careful. Ask me how I know! In Episode 170 of the Her Best Self Podcast, I share with you how you can embrace being flawed & fearless, & overcome perfectionism simply by redefining how you view success. It's time for you to stop STRIVING for perfection. You are allowed to be perfectly flawed because you are already perfectly worthy. ~ The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake because you can't learn anything from being perfect. Let God be the perfect one! ~ I encourage you today to listen in to this one & reflect on the golden nuggets I share, so that you can escape the trap of perfection & face life (& recovery) head on.

Hey love! I'm honored to have your listen of today's episode on the Her Best Self podcast. Typically, I feel a prompting as I'm about to sit down & record the show to prep a certain topic & I dive right in to my zone of genius to show up for you & provide you with all the BEST content. Yet, today when I sat down it felt different. I felt completely called to serve someone today. I felt called to lean in & whisper to YOU. I felt prompted to share straight to your heart from mine, that recovery from food controlling your life is POSSIBLE. &, I felt committed to providing you with hope, love, encouragement, & inspiration for when you just aren't "feeling" it. Because life & freedom from an eating disorder isn't linear. You will have days where you are on top of the world & days where you don't want to get dressed. But listen in girl... You did NOT come this far, to only come this far. You did NOT walk this path for this long, to walk away without victory. You did NOT find my show by coincidence. Don't you see? It's all part of the plan. It's all part of your story. You are here for a purpose & a reason. You were called to live a BOLD life. A BIG life. A life not revolved around shrinking your body to make you feel valued. Your very BEST & true self doesn't need to be controlled, manipulated, maintained or micromanaged. You see, the biggest lie I ever believed was a smaller me was a better me. It was indeed a "different" me. But it didn't make me happier. Friend, I pray today that you have the courage to break the patterns that are no longer serving you & that you start showing YOU who you truly are. This is your time! ~ Thank you so much for your listen to the show girl & don't forget to come on out to our private FB community, www.herbestselfsociety.com & share a win from your week!

Good Morning sister friend! Did you know that you make as many as 35,000 decisions every single day? But if you struggle with unhealthy behaviors tied to food & control over your food, 9 times out of 10 you will make a bad decision towards living your very best life if you aren't mindful.

Happy Friday sister friend! We have arrived girl...oh how we have arrived! TGIF! This first week of September has felt like a month for me. With back to school, back to routines, and back to the business trenches, it has been a very long (short) week! Today, I noticed I was daydreaming in my head of our next beach vacation. I am so not ready to say goodbye to warm weather just yet. Anyhoo...I do enjoy the fall. It's beautiful in our neighborhood with all of the landscaping and makes our usual morning walk to school a pleasurable one. Speaking of morning walks to school...today the boys decided to ride their bikes. And it just so happens that our street was under construction. Just when I thought we had plenty of time to get there...ROADBLOCK! There were signs and construction and black tar everywhere!! Good news is we did officially make it before the dreaded late bell, but it sparked inspiration for today's episode. ~ In Episode 168 of the podcast I talk about roadblocks....RECOVERY ROADBLOCKS! I share 15 top hidden hurdles in recovery that are extremely common and can be overcome but will keep you STUCK right where you are if you aren't aware of the detour. Listen in to this one friend and spread this message of freedom with someone you love. I can't wait to share today's show with you!

Hey girl! How was your weekend? I hope you had a great one! We celebrated Labor Day & relaxed, rejuvenated & did absolutely NOTHING! Oh, how it was glorious....well maybe for my hubby & I. We were planning on going camping, but the hustle of another weekend away felt like so much....our bodies literally needed to be home. I literally adore being home. How about you? ~ So the one thing that I did accomplish over the weekend was a level set with myself. I have been feeling so unaligned since vacay & I couldn't put my finger on what was off with me. But today, I grabbed my journal & pen & did some personal reflection that changed the game. Your girl is BACK! ~ & I knew I needed to do an encouraging episode to share it with you!

Hey girl HEYY! How is your week starting? I hope so very well! But to make it even better, I'd love for you to join me in another coaching over coffee episode on the HBS podcast today! ~ In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 165 I answer the question: "How do I accept my body & continue to make the right choices when I feel myself gaining weight?" ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): If you find yourself questioning this part of the recovery process the first step is to understand how recovery works. What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from ED & the only way around it is to shift your perspective & begin to accept that maybe your body just isn't supposed to be controlled, forced or manipulated into a size. When you live life from a place of restriction...you believe you aren't allowed to have something, you shame yourself & you go against what it is you actually want....CONTROL, PEACE & FREEDOM. Body Acceptance is Key! ~ Newsflash sis... "Your body is NOT your masterpiece, your life is." ~Glennon Doyle ~ Reality is, you can continue to trust the process even if you don't love the process. You can trust that this is what is healthy for you & what is best for you long term. Your body was never meant to fit into your idea of perfection. Once you allow it to be free, is when you can experience true healing. I hope this episode gives you more permission to do the next right thing! I believe in you :) ~ Listen in to this one & don't forget to come share your thoughts & feedback with us in our private facebook community! & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email directly at [email protected]. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Ohhh Happy Day! Or is it? I hope you are hanging in there sis! In my neck of the woods, my mom turned 70 today & I caught myself going down a long dark hole of the "what ifs" & negative thoughts. I found myself wondering just how many more years I had left with her. But I stopped myself mid-thought cycle & held the negative Nancy committee captive in my mind while I REFRAMED to something way more powerful & positive. Research tells us that 95% of our thoughts are set on repeat every single day & out of all of those, nearly 80% are negative....freaking wow! Am I right? What this means is you will continue to allow those negative thoughts to impact your life UNTIL you change the song & rewrite the lyrics. In Episode 164 of the Her Best Self Podcast, I share 10 recovery reframes for you to leverage TODAY that will have you changing your perspective & your life. This one is full of truth, so make sure to grab a notebook & pen so that you can use some of these phrases this week when you find yourself revisiting those old recycled lies. I hope you enjoy today's show as much as I enjoyed recording it for you :) & don't forget to come on out to our private FB community, www.herbestselfsociety.com & share with us your fav reframe from Episode 164!

Hey Girl, Do you live with guilt or shame from unhealthy patterns or disordered behaviors with food? Do you try to control your food intake only to end up frustrated and like you have failed at life? I hate what this cycle does to so many of us women. In Episode 163.5 of the HBS podcast, I get vulnerable AGAIN and share the good stuff! I talk about my personal faith & how I struggled to believe God even cared about me at my worst with anorexia. But the most epic message of today's show is the topic of total surrender. Sis, in order to find complete freedom from disordered eating, you must trust in something other than yourself to get through it. In order to find complete freedom, you must let go and surrender your plans, for plans that are far greater than what you can even imagine for your life. You see, the first step to recovery....begins with surrender. Surrender your power and false sense of control, so that HE can create something NEW in you. True change comes from true identity. You were created for MORE. Trust the one who created you. You weren't born to be the best at being sick. I hope this episode hits you differently today friend! Would you mind sharing it with a friend in your life that you feel it may bless? I would be so very honored. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11 with recovery prayers and all the hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey sis! I sure do hope that you didn't miss Episode 160 of the podcast that launched Tuesday, where I speak with Jacqueline Sherman as our special guest in PART 1 of her story. As a follow-up from that convo, I'm sharing with you PART 2 today! Jacqueline Sherman has an inspiring story about overcoming an eating disorder rooted in challenging family dynamics that left her feeling voiceless. At 15, during her parents' divorce, she turned to bingeing and purging to cope with the chaos. Despite trying various treatment centers and Overeaters Anonymous, real change came only after working with her therapist, Anita Johnston, who helped her identify the underlying needs driving her behaviors. Through dedicated effort, she learned to advocate for herself, set boundaries, and practice self-compassion, even when it felt forced. Her resilience is evident in her numerous comebacks after relapses, and today she enjoys a fulfilling life with a loving marriage, rewarding career, and genuine self-acceptance. Her story offers hope that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible and underscores the importance of patience and persistence in the journey to self-love. ~ In today's show, we talk through so many things. But Jacqueline’s authentic story is one for the books! This convo was such a treat and I just know it will bring inspiration and healing to your recovery journey.

Happy Friday friend, How is your week going? We are on the last leg of our vacay & while it's been a blasty blast, part of me is ready to get back to reality. My heart thrives in tranquil time of reflection but I'm excited to come back refreshed & ready to bring you some fabulous new content on the HBS pod. Until then, I wanted to share with you one of my most favorite episodes of the show, where I discuss the #1 strategy I used to heal my relationship with food & ultimately what I did to recover from my eating disorder. ~ You see, my biggest challenge in my personal journey to recovery freedom was FEAR. I was scared to death to gain weight. & I was scared of what others would think of me. The reality was.... I wanted to escape the control that food had over my life. I wanted to stop counting calories and caring about what everyone around me thought about me. Yet, I was terrified to face the unknown and to fail. I mean, what if I fell flat on my face?! ~ In today's episode I share inspiration of what you can do if you are tired of living restricted, overwhelmed & consumed with food control & overexercise. I can't wait for you to listen to this one if you haven't yet! ~ It's one thing to want to change, but wanting isn't enough sis! You have to DO something about it. It's your turn to DO something about it! I hope today's show puts a fire under you to become a person of action. I hope today's show helps you to face fear and do the thing anyways.

Hi lady! How is the start of your week going so far? I hope you are embracing summer in all the chaotic, yet somewhat relaxing vibes it brings. This past week, a listener of the Her Best Self Podcast wrote in asking the question: "What do I do when the "voice" inside of my head gets louder & louder? I've been trying to navigate healing from disordered eating but the voice doesn't go away. Any help or feedback you could give on the show would be wonderful!" So to answer your question sweet friend, today I'm sharing the perfect episode replay, where I discuss 6 Tips (+ a bonus tip) on how you can tell that "voice" to sit down & shut up! The truth, according to researchers is that over 90% of individuals with an eating disorder, or those who suffer from disordered eating, experience a self-critical inner voice that can be distinguished from self-critical thoughts or cognitions. According to an article in medium.com, researchers have proposed that as the illness progresses, these unhealthy thoughts (thoughts that motivate eating disordered behavior's which may initially have seemed reasonable or even desirable) are replaced by the experience of hearing a ‘voice’ that is threatening & abusive, dictating & compelling the person to act in ways they recognize are unreasonable & which cause them significant distress. So with this in mind, I knew I MUST share with you what exactly YOU can do about those pesky thoughts & that mean girl voice. Tune in today sis to learn how you can separate this false reality from your TRUE reality & identity. & if you are looking for more support, go straight to my website, & apply for 1:1 coaching, so that we can work together to help heal your relationship with food & body! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞https://www.lindseynichol.com/apply-for-coaching ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Happy FRIYAY sister friend! Gosh, am I ready for the weekend. How about you? I'm actually freaking out a tad because we are leaving for our annual beach vacay in the OBX tomorrow & I haven't packed a thing.... BUT...that was because ya girl got priorities! & the main one today was ensuring I jumped on the podcast to send you a message of hope & support. Plus, who am I kidding? I work better under pressure! LOL ~ In Episode 157 of the HBS podcast, I share the #1 pitfall to avoid as you break the chains of disordered eating & bad body image. Sis, the truth is...if you aren't okay asking for help with your secret struggle of food controlling your life...then your why isn't big enough & you aren't committed enough. (SIGH...I said it!) It's not enough to hope for a happy & a healthy future....it requires uncomfortable action every.single.day. Get in the habit of asking, "Is what I'm doing right now in support of the life I'm trying to create?" & then go out & do the next right thing. You got this! I hope this one gives you all the feels & you share it with someone you love. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey girl HEYY! How is your week starting? I hope so very well! But to make it even better, I'd love for you to join me in another coaching over coffee episode on the HBS podcast today! ~ In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 156, I answer the question: "How do I know if I'm eating enough or overeating?" ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): If you find yourself questioning if you should have another bite or more than what you currently are eating...the answer is YES. You have permission sis! & NO this doesn't mean you are binging. What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from a scarcity mindset. & what you need is to work your way up to a goal that makes sense for you. When you live life from a place of lack...you believe you aren't allowed to have something or you are afraid you won't have enough of something, you go against what it is you actually want....ABUNDANCE and FREEDOM of that very thing. This rule is a classic ED tactic, but you are capable of changing it! Reality is, if you haven't allowed yourself prior permission....now is the time & when your body is questioning if you've had enough or more than enough it's usually a sign it just wants permission for more. THIS IS A GOOD THING! I hope this episode gives you more permission to do the next right thing! I believe in you :) ~ Listen in to this one & don't forget to come share your thoughts & feedback with us in our private facebook community! & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email directly at [email protected]. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey Friend, How was your July 4th? I hope you had all the fun as you celebrated Independence Day & Freedom! The boys & I went to the pool & enjoyed the hot summer day here in the VA. It was full of red, white & blue & I was reminded of just how incredible it is to be FREE. TRULY FREE! Free from the chains of my eating disorder. Steven Covey (one of my fav authors) says this, "Every human has 4 qualities that give us ultimate freedom. These endowments grant us the power to choose, to respond & to change." Want to know what these are? Come on over & listen to today's podcast, where I share with you these 4 qualities + all things independence & freedom. ~ My sweet sis, if you have been feeling chained, oppressed, stuck or defeated by the thoughts in your mind & those unhealthy behaviors keeping you trapped in the nasty cycle of disordered eating then know this....you are NOT alone & you can gain back your independence from an eating disorder. So stand up today & honor you! Stand up today & fight for you! Stand up today & put on your full amour, so that you can win the battle in your mind & experience true & lasting FREEDOM. You deserve it! Now go on over to the pod & listen in to Episode 155! with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Happy Tuesday sis! Goodness, am I excited to bring you Episode 154 of the Her Best Self Podcast. In today's episode I talk all about navigating the summer season & embracing recovery as you prep for upcoming events, vacations & schedule changes. Between BBQs, summer parties, bathing suits, kids in different activities, being home more often & out of your normal routine, there are A TON of things that can lead to anxiety & overwhelm during the summer months. But this doesn't have to consume the most amazing time of the year. In this episode, I share with you a few tools that I use in private coaching sessions with clients that can help armor you up for a summer of recovery success! ~ The truth is that eating disorders don't take vacations....& this is why your recovery can't either. Summer can be the perfect time to schedule you in as your first priority & develop a plan of attack against those nasty thoughts keeping you chained. I hope this episode helps give you peace as you navigate your summer & supports you to take the next opposite action so that you can fight back & gain momentum to level up your recovery game. with hugs & so much love, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey sis! How is the week going for you? I am actually a busy busy bee this week. My husband's brother is getting married tomorrow & we are in the midst of all the things. I'm not going to lie though....I love me a wedding! There is something so sweet, innocent & pure.... The commitment reminds me of committing to doing whatever it takes to find freedom from an eating disorder. So today I wanted to share a very special episode! I recorded Episode 153 just for you if you have been struggling to surrender to recovery & truly commit to a healthy life....one that is no longer restrictive & obsessive with food & exercise. In today's episode I share the importance of a shift in perspective. You see, recovery requires complete surrender of how you view weight loss, weight maintenance & weight gain. BUT YOU CAN GET THERE! ~ You deserve freedom. TOTAL freedom. TRUE freedom. Not half-way freedom. Tune in to today's show if you have been living in a state of idle & you are ready to surrender to what is so that you can embrace all that is yet to come. I hope today's show touches your soul & uplifts you as you commit to your BEST recovered self. with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ wwww.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> [email protected] ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?
