Her Best Self ~ Eating Disorder Recovery, Anorexia, Bulimia & Food Freedom

In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 151, I answer the question: "Why Do I Save My Calories for Later in the Day? How Do I Stop Feeling Like I Have to Save Up My Food for Later?” ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): Yes, you are worthy of all things in abundance. BUT....will you allow yourself to believe it? What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from a scarcity mindset. 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! I believe in you sis! ~ So make sure to listen in to this one sis!

Hey sis, Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Believe you can, and you're half way there." & while I completely agree...BELIEF is of utter important in order to find complete food freedom, the other half of the equation is trusting the process & fully surrendering to the outcome. No matter what. In today's episode, I discuss the "messy middle" & what it means to be in "quasi" or partial recovery from disordered eating. Maybe you are just beginning the journey of wanting to break the chains from food & your thoughts around food & your body controlling your life. Or maybe, you have been struggling for a while. No matter where you sit right now friend, in order to find LASTING freedom - I believe you must fully surrender. You can't expect full transformation if you have only been open to half-way change. This took me YEARS to figure out in my own journey & recovery process & I don't want any more time to go by for you where you aren't living your very best life! Today is the day to stop living with one foot in and the other foot out of your DREAM. Yeah sis, the dream life where you aren't consumed with thoughts around your body. The life where you aren't obsessed with what to eat or when to eat it or if you will allow yourself to have it. The life where food is fuel & health is strength. You deserve freedom. TOTAL freedom. TRUE freedom. Not half-way freedom. Tune in to today's replay of Episode 59 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!?

Hi friend! So before I bring you all the truth bombs on this Monday, I want you to know just how much I am thankful for you! It's days like today, where I am reminded how blessed I truly am. It's days like today, where I get to show up here for you & remind you how blessed you truly are too! Yesterday at my oldest son's baseball tournament, I got the opportunity to talk about Her Best Self Co. & all that we are doing in the business to love on women all across the globe. I felt empowered, honored & proud to share love on another woman as I cheered my son on from the sidelines. It was a remarkable day! But I was reminded that not so long ago, I myself was trapped. I had to hit rock bottom & rebuild my life...I had to make an AGREEMENT with me. Fast forward to the present, I'm in awe of how amazing it is to love on you sweet friend & provide inspiration to you. Inspiration that I longed for when I was struggling with my eating disorder. ~ Oh, & yes, I forgot to mention my son's team won the big trophy & you would have thought it was one million dollars in cash! Those 10 year old faces dripped with sweat & bliss. They were champions! Winners! They grew a little bit wiser & with a little more confidence, as they cheered, huddled & cried on the field after the game. But before they became champions, they had to stand in agreement of exactly what they wanted. & the same goes for you sis! Today on the podcast, I share with you the MOST powerful commitment you will EVER make with you! This one is oh so good! (& yes, I'm sorta bias) ~ You see, if you struggle with thoughts about food controlling your life, then you have most likely spent so much brain energy arguing for your limitations & standing in agreement with the enemy. It's time to take your power back! ~ I want you to breathe in & breathe out...& listen in to Episode 149 if you want a TRUE transformation in your heart & in your life today! Matthew 18:19 say's it best: " I tell you, that if two of you agree here on earth about ANYTHING, whatever you ask for, it WILL BE DONE." I'm believing IN AGREEMENT with you for your recovery freedom. 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 hey! How is it Thursday already? I can't even! All I know is it is HOT here in Virginia & I am loving the start of summer vibes! But let me be for real....this mama is not ready for the summer schedules. Oh my how it is transition time! Both of my boys are in camps (thank you baby Jesus!) But at the same time, I cannot believe my oldest is going into 5th grade & my youngest just graduated from Kindergarten. Time flies way too fast! (insert mom tears) Tell me you can relate! All the recent transitions had me thinking about the stages & the phases of recovery from an eating disorder. In Episode 148, I discuss the 10 Phases of Recovery & everything you need to know about where you are along the path. Sis, you repeat what you don't repair. & I believe that no matter where you are along on your journey to freedom, that you are capable & worthy of a life without food restriction & thoughts all day every day controlling you. ~ I encourage you to take some time today to discover what phase of recovery you are in with a listen to today's episode!

Hey girl! How was your weekend? Mine started with baseball & ended with a sick kiddo :( All in all, we are hanging in there & loving the June weather despite a few setbacks & germs. But I wanted to make sure I helped start your week off right & record an episode that I truly feel will speak to your heart. In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 147, I answer the question: "I have struggled with disordered eating for years of my life, will this ever go away for me?" ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): Yes, you are capable of a totally FREE life. BUT....will you show up for it? In this one I leave you with some truth bombs & questions to help you ponder your next step. I believe in you sis! ~ So make sure to listen in if you question whether or not you will ever escape the madness of your eating disorder. & 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

Sister, I literally cannot wait to share with you the 5 "D's".... What am I talking about? The 5 "D's" are what I believe are the BIGGEST challenges you will ever face as you navigate freedom from food & that 'crazy thinking' controlling your every day. ~ In Episode 146, I discuss these 5 pitfalls, so that you can recognize where you may be stuck in them...not to shame game you, but to push you to overcome! Let's rewind for a minute as I take you back to my own struggle with disordered eating... 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....I was 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 these 5 biggest challenges. The only way out girl, was through. & the same goes for you. But the good news is, if you are in the "doldrums" right now, maybe not sure where to turn to next because your mind is constantly filled with thoughts around food & your body, then today's podcast episode will speak straight to your soul. But before you go listen, here is a quote to help you hold on to hope today: "Remember not to dig up in doubt what you planted in faith." You deserve more sis! ~ Ready to escape the 5 biggest challenges? Don't worry girl, I got you! Listen in to discover what these 5 pitfalls are & let me show you the way out to find the true & real you...the BEST you yet! 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!?

Happy Memorial Day! It's a day for remembrance, honor & celebration. & that is why I feel it's the perfect day to BREAK UP with your food rules so that you can live life FREE! Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Well behaved women rarely make history". Sis, it's time you make history! It's time to lay down those nagging thoughts about food that are controlling your life once & for all. In Episode 145 of the podcast, I share with you many of the food rules I struggled with in my own personal path to freedom. I share how you can identify the rules no longer serving you that are keeping you stuck. & I discuss how you can introduce food exposures to challenge your current rules living you trapped. ~ Each time you make a new scary choice to go agaisnt one of your food rules, your brain becomes less terrified & more accepting. This is HUGE in recovery! Rules are meant to keep us safe, but disordered rules actually generate harm. You are meant for MORE. You are meant to live a life without chains of food rules. Let me show you the way! ~ Ready to break those rules? share today's episode with someone you love! & remember that you are made for a life FREE from the chains of disordered eating. 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! I'm so excited to share with you a new thing we are adding to support you here at Her Best Self Co. Since I receive a ton of emails with questions from listeners of the HBS podcast, I thought I'd start recording episodes from time to time to highlight specific questions you ask me directly! I'm calling this "Coaching over Coffee" because I want you to feel as though we are chatting over a cup of amazing java (or if you are a tea queen that is cool too, I won't judge!) In Episode 144, our very first Coaching over Coffee, I answer the question: "Have I Ruined My Metabolism?" ~ Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still): Your body doesn't care HOW you think it should look, or what society says is best...your body simply cares about functioning at it's optimal state (& eventually it will do whatever it needs to do to get to that place)...what this doesn't mean is that if you begin introducing new foods or carbs you have restricted for some time that it will store these away and you will blow up like Violet in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. This my friend is what I call....fake news! Truth: your body isn't broken! ~ So make sure to listen in if you have wondered if you can truly wreck your metabolism...because this one is for you! & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email at [email protected]. xo, lindsey

I'm bringing you some Beatles on this Monday morning! ~ No, not the kind my 6 year old finds crawling in the backyard, the actual BEATLES! Okay, let me explain! We like to dance party in our house! & this morning while we were making breakfast & singing our hearts out the song, "Let It Be", by the Beatles came on. It goes something like this... "And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me, shine until tomorrow, let it be." When I sang those words I realized that I MUST do a podcast episode on the power of "letting be". ~ In Episode 143, I share with you my 5 question framework to ground yourself as you heal from restriction & control. You see, letting go is inspiration & means pure & total release. But that can feel heavy when you are navigating freedom from disordered eating. Reality is, if you knew how to let go, you probably would have by now...am I right? In my own recovery, I would surrender control only to pick it up again the next day. That is when I realized that the stepping stone to letting go is actually allowing yourself to "let be". ~ I hope today's message inspires you & gives you so much hope as you start off a brand new week. Whatever comes, let it come. Whatever goes, let it go. Whatever is, let it be. I can't wait for your listen of today's episode! 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 sister friend! I am still pinching myself after a weekend of fun, where my husband & got to meet Tim Tebow, Craig Groeschel & Ed Mylett. About 6 months ago we decided to invest in the business & learn from some of the world's very best! It was a true honor & pleasure, but most of all...it got my creative juices flowing & I just HAD to share all the golden nuggets with you. The same principles that apply to business & life, also apply to recovery from disordered eating. In this episode I share truth bombs that you won't want to miss out on! It's a true honor to share all I learned from my very fav few. + I even told Ed I would be joining his podcast soon!

Maybe you feel like you have tried over and over again to recover from disordered eating patterns and behaviors, but you just don't have what it takes....you can't seem to find the magic sauce to "food freedom". Maybe, you are starting to believe that recovery isn't possible for you, and that you will just live with food controlling your life for the rest of your life. On the inside, you truly want freedom from disordered patterns & unhealthy thoughts of food, yet you just don't know where to go from here. You don't know what to do? You feel like you want to throw in the towel & quit. I've been you. I get it. Gosh, do I get it on SO MANY LEVELS! I'm here today to remind you that you are not a quitter. You my friend, you are a conqueror. You are healing. You are growing. You have possibility at your fingertips of a new life & future. In today's episode, I share with you simple yet strategic questions that you can ask yourself to help you go from confused to ultimate clarity.

Hey girl hey, let's drop it like it's hot (because it's ThursYAY!) Okay okay...I admit I'm hyped up on coffee, a yummy breakfast & passion on this incredible morning. But, mostly I blame that the topic on today's podcast is something that I just can't wait to share with you & the world, because we don't talk about it enough. 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: disordered eating & eating disorders give you safety, false purpose, self-affirming meaning & even identity....& this is why it's so hard to break free. In Episode 141, I share my aha moment with you from my own recovery, where I learned that I wasn't entirely terrified of failing, I was actually terrified of succeeding! PLOT TWIST am I right? ~ You will have to listen in to the show for all the goods today & share it with someone you love! Stop playing small sis!

Hello girl! I'm back in your inbox today sis & I am so excited to drop a brand new episode of the Her Best Self Podcast just for YOU! When I went to record today's show, I pivoted completely from what I was going to talk about to what I felt compelled to talk about. In Episode 140, I share 8 things that are BETTER than "settling" for a life of disordered eating in the driver's seat. ~ You see, "it's possible to miss who you've been called to be, because you're addicted & attached to who you've settled to be." But girl, you can stop settling! You can start honoring your body, standing in your truth & making peace with your past so that you can create the future you dream of. ~ Look around you sis... if you are settling for life & you aren't living up to what you want for your life than it's time to stop being okay with "good enough". You are worth more. You deserve better! I hope this episode sheds light & love on so much truth & I hope that you take away so many nuggets of goodness, so that you can start your week strong & be ready to level-up in your food freedom journey.

Well...without giving away all the goods, I'll encourage you to listen in to Episode 139 on the Her Best Self Podcast so that you can hear for yourself! If you are tired of doing the same thing & you find yourself stuck in confusion, or terrified of the "what-ifs", then today's show is perfect for you! In this episode I discuss the power of understanding which emotion is leading your current reality, so that you can CHANGE the game & start living as the best version of you. ~ Emotion is energy IN MOTION.... you actually create what you fear.

Hey girlfriend, How did your weekend end up? I'd love to hear all the stories of how your spring is starting off! I spent the weekend recording the pod for you, practicing yoga with my hubby & having a movie night snuggled up next to the boys. Yesterday was a full day at the ballpark cheering on my son's baseball team, "Go Canes Go!" (in which I'm grateful I already recorded today's show lol, because my voice needs recuperation!) But none of that is what I wanted to chat with you about today. Today, I wanted to dive right in to GUT HEALTH! So here it goes.... How is your gut? Weird question to ask right? Well, maybe not so strange after all. If you experience high levels of anxiety or stress, don't be surprised if that comes alongside gas, bloat or other gut health issues. Another fun fact... Did you know your gut is your 2nd brain? Yep! Research shows that your gut & brain are directly linked & it's actually very common if you are stressed or overwhelmed to experience GI disfunction. In Episode 138, I talk all things gastro, bloat, constipation & how you can tame those tummy troubles while navigating freedom from food controlling your life! The truth in recovery from disordered eating is that you most likely will experience stomach discomfort, but the good news is that it won't last forever. So if you are currently in the thick of it, then this one is a must listen! 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! It's Monday & I am coming at you full force today! How did you see your body when you woke up this morning? Maybe you felt.... Tired. Sore. Hungry. Anxious. Fill in your blank __________. ~ If you struggle with body image & wonder frequently what other people think about your body, then you sweet sister aren't alone... 90% of women are dieting RIGHT NOW because of body dissatisfaction. & mostly because instead of honoring our bodies, we FEEL or THINK things about our bodies, allowing those thoughts & feelings to determine how we actually treat our bodies. ~ But this HAS GOT TO STOP! I'm on a mission today to share with you (& the world) that YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR BODY! You don't need to fix it. You don't need to change it. You don't need to maintain it. You just need to LIVE IN IT! Developing a positive body image requires building a relationship with you & your body. This simply means....you spending time with you. You spending time honoring what your body needs to thrive at it's best. ~ TRUTH bomb: You are not how you FEEL or how you THINK about your body. Having a healthy relationship with your body isn't believing your body LOOKS good, it's knowing your body IS good. Sis, your body is GOOD. ~ In Episode 136, I discuss 7 strategies that you can use today to help you develop a healthy relationship with you. I hope this one gives you all the feels. 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!?

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 used to avoid snacks. I would tell myself that I could snack but only instead of eating a real meal. Snacks seemed scary. 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 134, 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!?

Hey girl hey! Popping in your inbox today to send you a bit of motivational love. As I was prepping for a new podcast topic I sat in silence, thinking & praying on how I could show up & deliver EXACTLY what you needed to hear today. & standing in my truth, I feel Episode 133 of the show does just that & some! Talking recently with a client, I noticed she was so focused on the past & the future, she couldn't embrace the "now". When I asked her what she needed right now to do the next right thing, she hesitated & with her head down said, "I have absolutely no idea". Does this sound familiar? If you struggle to know what it is you need right this very moment & you set the bar so very high for your future that it's next to impossible to ever feel like anything other than a total failure, then this episode is for you sis. I discuss the journey of "becoming" & the raw truth behind what it really means to find "freedom". I also talk about your "now" needs, which will help you identify how to actually take ACTION towards your goals, so that you can get the result you truly desire. (insert life FREE from the bondage of those disordered ways!) ~ Sit with this one.... Often what feels like an interruption in your life or a lesson you are learning over & over, year after year, may actually be an invitation for a greater purpose for you. It's time you embrace your journey to becoming. 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 there sister friend! I am so ready to embrace this new week. While I adored spring break festivities, I'm super excited to get back to our normal family routine & to spend time connecting with you & all of my incredible clients. What you should know about me is that your girl loves vacay, but I really love coming home after vacay! Let's be for real, I don't like coming back to the "to-do's", but I do love returning to schedules, normalcy & sleeping in my own bed. Haha! Maybe that is the control freak coming out in me!? Or maybe it's just the safety of "home" that I find so rewarding after a much needed time away. Either way, in Episode 132 of the podcast, I share what you need to know about control. I discuss the Restrict/Emotional Eating Cycle & how you can start today to break the habit loop in your life. ~ Here is what you need to know: in order to let go of control, you must release the fight within you. The battle in your mind is REAL! & it's the hardest one you will ever conquer. But the good news is, you have the power right now inside of you to surrender your desire to control food, so that you can gain freedom from what is actually controlling you. Freedom from ED 🎉 I believe in you! Now go out & listen to Episode 132 to help you do the same. 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!?

How is your week going sis? I'm out here in the wilderness with the boys & loving it! And in Episode 131 of the podcast, I share with you yesterday's cave adventure :) I also talk about "cave brain", which is what happens in your brain when you are restricting calories or undereating & the 4 natural sanctuaries that you can experience RIGHT NOW to help support your recovery journey. + I give you a mighty mantra that you can say over & over again to help you as you navigate freedom from food controlling your life. This one is a true "gem" (no pun intended), just a boy mom running on fumes after hunting for sacred treasures...LOL. ~ If you need a tranquil space to find solitude today, you've come to the right place.

Happy April Fools Day! I'll be honest, I'm not the best with jokes, but there was a time where I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster kidding my own self that freedom from my eating disorder actually existed. My mood swings were off the charts. When I felt controlled by my disorder I would lash out at the people I loved & when I felt I had control over my eating I would feel a false sense of satisfaction & happiness. It was a whirlwind. ~ Here is the TRUTH for you today sister, in order to find freedom you MUST move from the valley of denial to the hilltops of acceptance. The journey will feel like a rollercoaster at times....this is normal. If you have struggled for years, just know that you have masked your emotions for far too long & it can feel really hard to acknowledge that in order to step forward you must first pull back the layers & understand that YOU ARE NOT your unhealthy behaviors. You are not the eating disorder. You will go through phases of grief & loss...maybe even depression. I sure did. But the important thing to recognize, is that this process will NEED to happen, it's just part of healing...& at times it sucks! You see, grief gets a bad name, this is because you have to feel feelings of loss that once brought you comfort. But with grief is also the opportunity to create something brand NEW. I'm so excited for you to do just that! ~ It's time you tell that voice inside of your head to sit down & shut up! As you step into your very best self, she isn't coming. She doesn't have a reservation at your table. One thing I know for sure: My scars may not be physical, but they tell a story from my past. They now remind me of when life tried to take me out....but didn't. They remind me that I am stronger than I think. & you are too! 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!?

It's that time of the week girl! I'm jumping in to your inbox today to check-in on you my sweet friend. How are you? No, how are you really?! ~ If you struggle with disordered eating, slip-ups & set-backs happen....well as sucky as they are (making you want to throw in the towel), it's time to start expecting them. Prepare for the slip-ups! Change is hard. Growth is hard. Slip-ups & set-backs are just proof you are doing hard things. NOT proof that you are failing at the things. In my recovery journey I wanted so badly to DO recovery "right". On days where I fell back to old patterns & behaviors, I felt like it was just "too hard". I felt like I was just never going to get to freedom. That maybe it just wasn't in the cards for me. Reality is....THAT way of thinking is a LIE. A false narrative. STOP believing it! That lie is a trap your mind wants you to believe to keep you chained to the disorder. Discouragement + Doubt = Quitting You aren't a quitter! You aren't a giver-upper either! So when slip-ups & set-backs come your way....use them as a SET-UP as you step into the BEST version of yourself. You totes got this! & I got you sister. 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!?

Time is hopping by! (no pun intended!) This weekend was spent bunny shopping & organizing for the week ahead. How about you? I hope you had a great one friend. In Episode 128 of the Her Best Self podcast, I dive into the 4 aspects of what makes up your TRUE self & how you can experience TRUE & LASTING freedom. I also share with you a heartfelt poem & discuss the journey to recovery. I hope this episode inspires you to keep putting one foot in front of the other. & I hope on this Monday that you give yourself grace & permission to challenge your thoughts & behaviors. ~ In order to recover from food thoughts controlling your mind, you must be okay sitting in uncomfortable places.

Happy Thursday friend, How's it going so far? As I sit here typing this I am listening to the glorious sound of birds chirping right outside of my office window. HELLO SPRING! I don't know about you, but this girl can't deal with the cold! I am so very ready for warmer weather & to see all the spring flowers GROW. Which brings me to Episode 127 of the Her Best Self podcast. This one is all about growing & evolving + how you are your BEST investment! ~ Did you know that 1 out of every 10 people who struggle with disordered eating ever reach out for support? 1 out of 10 :( Yep, the stats are dreadful. On the show today, I talk about how you can beat that statistic RIGHT NOW! I share the positives of investing in you & leveling up into your next level of you! Sis, put yourself out there. Ask for support! ~ Putting power behind your commitment to your best future self is how you achieve your wildest dreams. Reaching out for support when you are sitting in stuckness is the absolute BEST thing you can do to find joy & happiness in your life. ~ Ask yourself, "Am I okay with being here forever? Am I around people who are going to lift me up & inspire me to get where I want to be? Are decisions I am making today moving me forward into where I want to go tomorrow? Am I holding myself accountable? Do I need someone to help me do that?" It is so very important to put yourself in an environment that is going to help you heal your life. How can you put yourself first today? One thing. INVEST in you! ~ Finding freedom from the chains of disordered eating is REAL. But don't try to do it alone. Not that you can't....it just takes SO MUCH LONGER! Coaching can help provide accountability you need to get you to level up. You deserve to learn, grow & evolve!

Hey girl, How was your St. Patty's Day? We spent time looking for 4 leaf clovers, eating green donuts & cheering on our favorite little leprechaun at his first baseball tournament of the season. Yep, it was a pretty busy weekend for the Nichol crew. However, the one thing that I'm most proud of is honoring my body in the midst of all the fun events WITHOUT the fear of gaining weight. You see, gaining weight use to be my biggest fear. I mean, flying in a plane was also scary. & snakes, well I'm terrified of those as well. But, nothing was as frigtening to me than gaining weight. & even when I knew I needed to gain weight for my health...it was the ONE thing I just couldn't seem to get past. ~ Maybe you have this same fear. Maybe you live in the same thought cycle that I experienced, where every single food choice you make on the daily is centered around whether or not if will make you gain weight. This thinking is all wrong. This thinking is keeping you stuck. But you can decide to change your mind at any given moment. ~ Reality is, being small doesn't make you better. Being small doesn't make you more worthy. Being small doesn't mean you will have a more prosperous life. ...it's actually the exact opposite. Your life doesn't grow when your body shrinks...you just learn to tolerate the misery of running on fumes...until one day you just can't. You see sis, your life grows when you choose to not be measured by unhealthy standards of this world. Your life grows when you decide to honor your body, face your fear & show up for yourself in your authentic truth. The biggest lie that I believed was that a smaller me was a better me. Don't you dare believe that lie friend! A smaller you is definitely a different you....but it won't make you any better. ~ The BEST version of you is the version that lives unrestricted. The BEST version of you is the version that lives without controlling your weight. ~ You deserve a life, FREE from the controlling chains & fears of gaining weight. I hope Episode 126 speaks to your heart today & that you take some time to do this 4 step strategy, so that you can completely heal your life & decide to make a change.

Hey there! Spring has almost sprung! I do feel however that my flowers are confused with all the changing temps here in Virginia. Changing seasons can be just what you need sometimes, but they can also mean hustle & "doing more"....oh how my boy mom heart feels this one (enter -> travel baseball has now taken back over our weekends!) If you have been finding it hard to rest these days, I so feel you! Does the thought of giving yourself a break seem hard right now? Do you guilt yourself or feel "lazy" if you allow yourself to just "be"? ~ For years, I believed if I relaxed, slowed down, took or break or didn't exercise every single day, then that meant I was lazy. My eating disorder wanted me constantly going, doing, accomplishing and controlling. I glamourized the fact that if I was in constant motion then I was always burning calories. So much so, I would do random crunches at all hours of the day & even eat standing up. I became so obsessed in the disorder, that I had convinced myself I was wrong. I was bad. I was a slacker. Not only did this lead to exhaustion & total collapse of my body, but I lost joy. I lost me. ~ In Episode 125 of the HBS podcast, I share the 4 letter word you need right now if you battle the lie that "you have to DO more to BE more". Grab your favorite notebook & pen & listen in! Oh...& share it with a girlfriend too! ~ "Come to me, all you who feel weary & heavy burdened & I will give you REST."

Hey girl, I'm going to give it to you straight today sister friend! Here is what you need to know... It get's harder BEFORE it get's easier. There, I said it! Feeling your thoughts, challenging your beliefs and doing the actions to get the results...well, it's HARD work! In Episode 124, I share with you this truth (& so much more!) Most of the time, when you recover from an illness, sickness, surgery or even from depression, you get some sort of immediate relief. This gives you momentum to keep going & to push forward. But if you have spent years struggling with disordered eating....this isn't always the case. Getting better at first can actually make you feel bad. This is TEMPORARY! Yet, you need to know this so that when it IS bad, you have the strength to overcome. I believe in you! ~ Make sure to tune in to this episode & remember that you are... Strong. Beautiful. Brave. & worthy of freedom! & maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises sis...maybe life is about collecting the scars to prove you showed up for it. ~ 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!?

It's Thursday sis, we are almost there! The weekend is right around the corner. But before we get there I wanted to drop a note into your inbox today & spread light & love with you, reminding you that you are worthy of all your wildest dreams & desires! & also reminding you that it's okay to put YOU first, especially in recovery from disordered eating. In Episode 123 of the Her Best Self Pod, I share all about people pleasing. People pleasing is very common with those in recovery from disordered eating. The two can go hand in hand as ways to cope when life feels uncertain. Eating disorders keep you isolated, while people pleasing allows you to keep the peace, both in ways to keep you feeling safe and secure. Just like in recovery from ED, it's important if you identify with being a people pleaser that you also grant yourself compassion and grace as you move through the healing journey. The good news is that people pleasing is NOT a personality trait, it's a learned response.....which means it can also be unlearned! So if you find that you are constantly putting others' needs in front of your own, then today's episode is worth a listen. I talk with you about 4 ways to heal from caring what other people think, especially as you navigate freedom from disordered eating. Join me on the podcast sis, you will want to tune in to this one! 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!?

Happy new day of a brand new week! If you have been feeling down & out lately, overcome & overwhelmed by the controlling thoughts & behaviors around food & your body....today is your day! In order to change your life you must change your beliefs. & in order to change your beliefs you must realize you are worthy of that change. You must move from focusing on triggering emotions to more positive ones. You must hope when you feel all hope is gone. The sad truth however is that this is HARD. & it takes time! & not everyone recovers from an eating disorder. But all it requires is a small glimmer of that hope inside of you to decide that you want more for your future. It's a choice to stop settling & start LIVING! In Episode 122, I discuss "glimmers", the opposite of triggers. Finding glimmers sets you free! It's hard navigating freedom from disordered eating when you are constantly faced with triggers left & right. That is why in order to escape you must be intentional in searching for glimmers.

Happy Thursday lady! Doesn't it seem like everyone is slashing carbs, cutting calories & opting for lettuce with dressing on the side these days? Maybe in all fairness it's because we are experiencing an increase of diet culture trends, contributing to a $33 billion dollar industry in America alone. But do not be alarmed. You are allowed to embrace healing. You are allowed to be anti-diet! Yes, it can be really tricky when others are sharing weight loss photos, low calorie recipes & Ozempic details....but you have permission to recover sis! You are allowed to leave their junk right where it belongs -> with them! ~ According to the National Eating Disorder Association, 35% of all dieters progress to pathological dieting, & 25% of those develop eating disorders. WOW! So what do you do when a coworker, friend, spouse or family member is on a diet & you are on the opposite path to freedom? In Episode 119, I share 9 things that you can do RIGHT NOW to honor your journey in a world trying to conform you to the latest fad. ~ You deserve to live a life without counting calories.

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. That is because decisions made in stress & with anxiety....those are the worst decisions of all. But it doesn't have to be this way! In Episode 118 of the podcast I teach you all about how to avoid this trap. I share with you the power to PRE-DECIDE. ~ Pre-deciding allows you to accumulate a record of wins, while reinforcing the importance of recovery, plus...it actually gets you "doing the thing"!

Hello gorgeous! Please tell me you are counting down till the weekend like I am? I am so flipping thankful it is Friday-eve. Goodness, has this week been A LOT for me! How about you? ~ When life is crazy it's hard to appreciate the "A LOTs". It's hard to be grateful for overflow & abundance. & when you have an unhealthy relationship with food & your body it makes it nearly impossible to see anything other than LACK. Your eating disorder restricts more than just food & calories. If you feel like you never have enough time, money, love or happiness....you aren't alone. This is a tactic of disordered eating. It's how it keeps you in the crazy-making cycle. But sitting in the "not enough" bleeds into "YOU not being enough". & we aren't living in that house anymore sis! The truth is you are MORE than enough. & you deserve to start living like it. You can change your life from living trapped & restricted to living plentiful & abundant! Tune in to Episode 117, for a pep talk & tangible take aways to help you grab your power back from your unhealthy relationship with food. I hope today's episode blesses you.

Happy Thursday friend! February is the month of love. Valentines, galantines, all the hearts, fuzzy bears, roses & chocolates. Yet when you are stuck in disordered eating, it's truly hard to love anyone the way you are meant to, because it's so hard to love yourself. That voice inside of your head may tell you that you aren't worthy of those chocolates & even have you avoiding that dinner date out with prince charming. Truth is: it's okay if you aren't in love with your body....YET. Sis, This is a journey. Healing takes time. Today, I'm sharing with you a Self Love Checklist of 18 things that you can do this week (or any time really) to practice self love, & honor the skin you are in. ~ In order to love who you are...you can't hate the experiences that have made you who you are.

Hey Sis! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. A weekend of all the good things. A weekend of moments & joy. A weekend where you didn't find yourself obsessing over food or calories. ~ But, I am here today to tell you...if you did indeed spend some or a ton of your weekend counting calories....there is FREEDOM & HOPE. I was THE calorie counting Queen. I knew the calories in every single thing I put into my mouth (and most things I avoided too). It was a never ending cycle of math...& by the way, I suck at math! Just like I had to learn the calories of foods during my eating disorder, I also had to learn to give myself grace & permission to STOP counting them during my recovery. In Episode 114, I share 6 steps to honor your journey, so that you can quit obsessing over gaining weight & counting calories. I hope today's episode blesses you.

Hey there sister friend! I hope your week is off to a great start! Mine? Well, let's just hope it's better than yesterday. Yesterday, my 5 year old had a full blown melt down. The type of meltdown where there is absolutely nothing you can do as a mama, but hug, count and wait for it to pass. Yep, I nearly had a meltdown trying to calm him from his own meltdown. But right in the middle of this situation I realized that his sweet little self just needed to pause and take a time out to reflect on what it is that he actually needed. He needed to HALT. He needed to process. He needed to feel. ~ Are you facing challenging emotions? Do those feelings cause you to turn to food or to restrict your food? Oh girl, how I can relate! ~ Disordered eating isn't about food. Disordered eating isn't about body image. Disordered eating is an attempt to deal with emotions that manifest into idols and obsessions over time when left unprocessed. It's feelings left unfelt. It's coping gone wrong.... But there is good news! Having an unhealthy relationship with food is a learned behavior. Which means it can be unlearned when you choose to release it. If you find yourself in meltdown mode, turning to food (or turning away from it) then Episode 112 is going to bless you so very much! On today's show, I share the H.A.L.T Method with you and how you can leverage this mindfulness technique to help you find freedom from food controlling your life.

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? This one was one for the books for me. My hubby and kids threw me the most fantastic birthday full of all the things....crabcakes, cake and confetti....oh my! But birthdays used to be the WORST days for me when I was struggling in my eating disorder. I had no desire to celebrate. I didn't like who I was. I wasn't confident in who I was.....I couldn't even remember who I was without my disorder controlling my every day. In order to get out of the trenches....I had to change. I had to create confidence when I wasn't feeling confident AT ALL. I had to find belief and keep promises to myself. I had to find ME again.....and maybe sis that is right where you are today. ~ In Episode 110, I share with you the 3 step formula to find confidence in WHO you are becoming so that you can change your food and body relationship.

Hey girl! It's Thursday & do I have an amazing Podcast episode for you! This one is all about PROCRASTINATION! Are you a perfectionist? Dreamer? Blamer? Overdoer? If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie. Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. ~Ecclesiastes 11:3-4 If you want change but then find yourself pushing it off & so you struggle day after day to actually move forward....oh how I see you! I remember opening up the fridge only to not know what to eat...yet, I had just left the grocery store. I remember looking at the clock, secretly wishing I could have something to eat...but in my mind, "it was too early". If either of these situations resonate with you then I encourage you to listen in to Episode 109. I discuss how procrastination is a symptom of a feeling and underlying belief & how it can be unlearned & changed. I share with you steps to take to STOP procrastinating on yourself & your freedom, so that you can find peace in your life & harmony in your mind & kitchen!

Hello my sweet friend, Today is a fabulous day to stand in your truth and practice a self reflection that will have you feeling hopeful and inspired.

Happy New Year! It's a new year, new you. New Monday. Clean slate. Brand NEW chapter. Fresh 365! Are you ready? Are you dreaming BIG enough? Dreams are goals cousins.....but reality is that 95% of people never experience their wildest dreams because they underestimate their ability to do so....you see, they quit before they even try.
