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

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.

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. Glimmers are sparks of positive emotions. They are the moments in the day where you feel joy, happiness, peace & gratitude. & if you have absolutely no idea how to find a glimmer....I've got you covered! Listen in to this one friend & walk away with an exercise to help you find glimmers in your life this week. ~ Be grateful for your triggers, for they point out areas where you are not yet free. ~ I believe in you sis!

Happy Thursday sis! How is your week going? I hope this message finds you well today! I can't wait to share with you all about REJECTION in Episode 121 of the podcast. On todays show, I discuss how patterns of rejection in your life may have led to unhealthy behaviors contributing to food & body control. I share truths about the fears most of us have... Fear of failure. Fear of not being enough. Fear of not being liked. Fear of being rejected. & I also talk about how you can move past these fears to a place of full & complete recovery! ~ Rejection isn't fatal, it's merely someone else's opinion. & it's time to step into your Bounce Back Power & press into a life FREE from what other's think about you! Sis, rejection is simply a course correction. It's all part of your plan. It's all part of God's redirection over your life. ~ So as you move into the BEST version of you today, remember WHO you are & WHO you are becoming :) I hope you enjoy today's show! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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 Thursday lady! Doesn't it seem like everyone is slashing carbs, cutting calories & opting for lettuce with dressing on the side these days?

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!

Holiday's can be tough when you are stuck in your own mess of disordered eating. It can be extremally hard to take a step back & give yourself anything....am I right? In today's episode, I talk about the 8 (non-tangible) gifts that you can give yourself this Christmas. These gifts have the power to change your life, your future, & your relationship with your body & food. You DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE! Believe me, I see you.... For years of my life, I remember Christmas being excruciating. Opening up clothes from family that weren't my size or treats brought by friends encouraging me to eat them, did nothing but trigger me & push me deeper into a pit of darkness.

Happy Monday Sister Friend! Have you heard of the phrase, "never miss a Monday"? Gosh, how I use to put that one on like a badge of gym honor. I would show up at 5am on Monday morning ready to slay those calories I hadn't even consumed yet. I was chained to the treadmill. I was addicted to exercise. & don't get me wrong....I hated it. But I was scared of what I would look like if I didn't workout every day. I was terrified to gain weight. I was afraid of what other people would say about me & my body. I mean, society tells us we are our healthiest when we are pushing harder, lifting heavier, running faster. Until one day I was more tired than terrified. I got so depleted from trying to keep up with my eating disorder & my unhealthy exercise behaviors, that I just couldn't do it one more day. It had to STOP before my heart exploded. If you find yourself there today friend....you aren't alone! I found peace with exercise & you can do the same. In Episode 102, I share 5 steps that you can take TODAY to change the way you view exercise. You don't want to miss today's episode of the podcast. I hope this blesses you & helps you grant yourself permission that you need to HEAL, to REST and to BE. Start small & be proud! You are creating the BEST version of you. love ya girl, 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 there girl! Can you believe that December is here & we are falalalala-ing all the way into a brand new year in a matter of weeks? I always find at the end of a year, thinking about the things that I clung to, & the not so good things that clung to me. & I wonder how I can make the next one even better. Sadly, I used to wonder how I was going to exercise away Christmas food choices, avoid weight gain & get back to a rigid routine as soon as the clock struck midnight. So much so, that I became completely chained to my eating disorder. ~ If your lifestyle requires you to track, monitor & count every food morsel, carb, calorie, or pound on the scale.....then ask yourself -> are you really living? I know one thing is for sure...freedom from disordered eating is REAL, because I myself have escaped her chains. I myself broke the patterns of unhealthy diets, restrictions & behaviors that year after year kept me trapped in my own mind & body. And, YOU can too! In Episode 98, I share all about ambivalence in recovery & I talk about the path of pain. Tune in to the show today sis! It's a goodie! 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 leading up to the holiday. xo, 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 there! Did you know, 80% of your daily thoughts are negative? Crazy right?! & to top that statistic off, 95% of your daily thoughts are repetitive. So what does this mean? Well, it means if you lack motivation & drive, question whether you can really ever change, or you constantly feel like you are running on an empty tank wishing you could wave a magic wand & get off the struggle bus of disordered eating to live a life of freedom.....you aren't alone. You aren't wrong. You aren't flawed. You aren't bad. You are a normal human who has been listening to that inner critic that lives inside of you & you have been believing the lie. Maybe for you, that is the lie of not being good enough. Or maybe for you, it's the lie that if you gain weight you will be judged, rejected or abandoned. Or maybe just maybe, it's the lie that you will forever be trapped in an unhealthy relationship with food controlling your life. In Episode 97 of the podcast, I share with you the 7 Inner Critics (backed by science), plus a simple, yet strategic reflection that you can do today (which will take you only 5-10 minutes), to help you reframe your thoughts so that you can transform the way you do life. Here is your Thursday reminder: Sis, you are the boss of you! You are the CEO of your life. & the reality is, it's not WHO you are that holds you back from living your very best life as your very best self, it's who you think you are NOT. It's time to stand in your truth & completely change the game! It's time to take your power back & show that voice in your mind who is in the driver seat. Listen in today friend.

Happy Turkey Day! I hope you enjoy your day full of family, friends & yes....food. You can do it sis!

Hey GF! Can you believe Turkey Day is right around the corner? I know right....me either. Time surely does fly! This past weekend our family enjoyed a harvest fest, spending time with friends & family, & prepping for the holiday week ahead. 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 94, 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 this week. 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 leading up to the holiday.

Just tired of being tired? You want to be happy, to live FREE. You want to get rid of the patterns of unhealthy coping when life gets hard.

In Episode 93 of the podcast, I talk about body image, challenging your body ideals, where to start when you want to change the way you see your body....& so much more.

You have a choice today 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 92, 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.)

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 91 of the podcast, I get vulnerable and share the good stuff! I talk about my 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!?

Happy Monday sister! I'm dropping in today girl to remind you that you are worthy of all the things & so very enough. The weekends can have a mind of their own & then we are thrown right back into the week full of mixed feelings, emotions & running on fumes. This time of year where there is hustle & busyness, it's so important to pause & to be present. There is so much power in the pause, ESPECIALLY when you struggle with disordered eating. That is why on the podcast today I'm talking about intentional thinking. It's important to take some time to THINK & be intentional with where our mind goes. Have you ever stopped to think about what it is you spend most of your time thinking about?

Hey sis - HEYY! I wanted to come at you first thing this morning! Because, today on the podcast I am talking all about MEAL PLANNING! & no, not the fad diet, restrictive type of meal plans you may be thinking of... simply speaking, meal planning is deciding your meals in advance. & if you have been in decades of disordered eating, you may not even know where to start when it comes to eating normally. But I got ya girl! Meal planning in recovery can help establish an essential framework that is going to ensure you set a standard to get adequate nutrition. & while meal plans can be so very helpful, they can also have some potential cons as well. That is why in today's show I'm coming at you with both angles to ensure that you do what is BEST for YOU, because your recovery is yours alone. It's you versus you friend! ☑️Can you make a commitment today to honor your body with nutrition? ✅Can you honor your current needs? What fears come up for you when you think about meal planning?

Happy Monday! How is your fall going sis? I am in baseball mom mode over here. Yep, we have spent nearly every weekend at tournaments, carting the kids around from one game to the next. I never thought I'd actually feel proud wearing bright orange, as it's not really "my color"....(lol, Go Canes!), but it sure has been fun spectating, screaming & living life in the present moment. This past weekend when I sat down to record today's episode of the show, I was reminded of all the years that being outside of my normal weekend routine would have completely thrown me for a loop. I remembered how "tied" & "chained" I felt. I remembered how I wasn't able to enjoy the moments because I was consumed with thoughts about food. Thoughts like, "when can I eat next? what am I allowed to have? haven't I already had too much today? I guess I'll save my calories for later", & God forbid I went to a sporting event....I would have ordered a diet coke, secretly wanting a bite of anything other than my chewing gum, yet never allowing myself one. I probably would have spent majority of the game wondering how other people around me could even take one bite of their hotdog. I lived paralyzed by shame, guilt and fear. Maybe you can relate. What I came to find out, was that the only way I was ever going to escape my mind, was to realize it had been hijacked. I had to realize that I was not my anorexia. I didn't cause it. I couldn't control it. I couldn't cure it. BUT....I could no longer contribute to the patterns and the behaviors that were keeping me chained to it. In order to do just that.....I had to separate myself FROM my ED. In Episode 88, I share with you the importance of separating yourself from your eating disorder. I ask you questions for you to challenge yourself with this week. Yep, you won't want to miss this one girl! Bring a notebook & a pen & listen in! And remember...YOU my sweet friend may have a disordered relationship with food, but you are NOT disordered. You are not broken! You are healing.
