Happy Thursday friend, I am so excited to share with you today's episode on the Her Best Self Podcast. My biggest challenge in my struggle to find worthiness outside of what the scale made me feel was the fact that I was terrified to get better. I was scared to death to gain weight. 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. I was scared to face the unknown and to fail. In today's show, I talk about the #1 strategy I used to heal my relationship with food and ultimately to recover from my eating disorder. You don't want to miss this one! This strategy seems so simple....yet so very hard at the same time. 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.

Happy Thursday friend! Today, I'm coming at you hot with a question to get you in action! Are your secrets keeping you sick? ~ On a mission to lose 10 pounds, I found myself chained to a never ending cycle of disordered eating. I wore shame of never feeling good enough & used my control over food & my body as my personal secret weapon. I lived the lie of believing that a smaller me was a better me. Until one day, I just couldn't do it anymore. That's when I surrendered. & God lifted me up out the pit of my utter despair. I called out, “If you’re there and you care, I need you to save me from me…and I need to know that you care.” That desperate cry changed everything for me. ~ Sis, if you feel like you’ve been isolated and living in hiding, keeping your disordered relationship with food a secret...know that you aren't alone & there is so much more for you! If you’re not living the best version of you right now, why not? In today's show I share with you an interview I did recently on the God's Vibes podcast with my friend, Juliana Page. Listen in to this one! It’s time to shift from perfection to purpose. I hope Episode 81, meets you right where you are today sister & I hope it shifts your perspective to embrace your recovery path forward, because.....if I can find freedom, so can you! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Hey Sis- First things first today, I am so honored to have you in the Her Best Self circle & I can't wait to bring you a brand new podcast episode, where I talk about THE question to ask yourself if you aren't really sure what to do next or if you are even wondering if you have an unhealthy relationship with food. As I prepped for this one, I came across an incredible quote from J. Walters: "You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory." Gosh, is this TRUTH that you need for your Thursday! Girl, the victory is already yours! & if you are listening in, then most likely, you are searching for a way out....maybe you know just what to do, maybe you even know you have unhealthy patterns & behaviors, maybe you even know you aren't living life to the fullest. It's OKAY friend! You were NOT meant to navigate this mental escape alone. The first step is to assess where you are along the way. Do you have rigid food rituals? Constantly concerned about what you can eat next & when you can eat it? Terrified of gaining weight? If you answered yes to any of these....this one is for you sweet sister! I want you to listen in to Episode 79 & I'd be honored if you shared it with a friend or family member. This episode will leave you with reflection & clarity IF you apply & answer this question as it pertains to where you are in your circumstances right now. Let me know if you enjoy this one...& I'd love to help you along your path to total freedom from obsessive thoughts & unhealthy food behaviors leaving you chained. You aren't alone! You deserve happiness. Make the choice to surrender today! I hope today's show blesses you. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Hey Girl! How is your week treating you? Gosh, I just can't believe we are basically in fall y'all! Anyways, enough about the weather....today I am talking about "weight gain"! Yep, I said it.....the most terrifying thing of all the things when you are in recovery from disordered eating. Do you find yourself terrified to gain weight? You know that in order to get "stronger" or "healthier" you will indeed need to put on some LBs, but the mere thought fuels you with debilitating anxiety? Gosh, do I get it! The scariest thing for me during my recovery from anorexia was gaining weight. I cared so very much what others thought of me....& I was terrified that I may not like myself if I gained weight & actually had a normal life. If this is you today friend, I encourage you to LISTEN IN to the show! I share with you 4 steps for you to take RIGHT NOW, to help you navigate this crippling topic of weight gain. Weight restoration can be scary, but staying chained to food controlling your life is even more terrifying. You can do this! I hope Episode 77, brings clarity to your spirit, & I hope it shifts your perspective to embrace the recovery journey & breathe easy.....recovery is possible for you! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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 Monday friend, Did you know that mantras can work magic in your life, especially if you are navigating freedom from food controlling your every day? I leverage mantras in my own personal recovery journey with anorexia. A study in Brain & Behavior, shows that repeating a single word or phrase to yourself actually quiets the brain & simple repetition activates the part of the brain that is responsible for self reflection & self judgement. In shorter terms....mantras calm your thoughts. In today's episode, I share with you 11 mantras that you can try on today! Snag one or some of these sis! ~ When you aren't fully in belief of what seems possible for you, it's important to find tools that will help you through the struggle. This is why I believe using mantras with my personal recovery coaching clients has made all the difference. Start your Monday off just right sweet sister, & try on these mantras to help you along your recovery this week! + share Episode 76 with someone you love. & if you enjoy today's episode & are looking for more episodes on the power of your words with other affirmation goodies, tune in to Episode 10 & Episode 45.

Hey Girl, If you are struggling with disordered eating or you are looking to find support for someone who is? If you answered yes...today's episode is FOR YOU! In Episode 75, I share 7 ways to help someone who doesn't want help, & I give you insight into my own freedom journey + hope along the way! In my experience, t's so very important to show love, kindness & provide an "open door" if you are in the midst of helping navigate support for someone who is dealing with this dreadful disease. I share with you nuggets of gold in this one! I also discuss how these 7 different ways in helping support someone with disordered eating can actually allow the person in need to step forward & ultimately get the accountability that is imperative to recover. This illness can cause isolation, loneliness & avoidance. But with today's guidance you can be armored up to help you support your loved one through this process. & I want you to remember.... an eating disorder is NOT a choice! Don't give up hope sweet friend. Help is possible for them....& hope is possible for YOU no matter what side of the fence you are on.

Hey their sister ~ Do you struggle with daily anxiety? Are you constantly anxious when it comes to what you can eat next or when you can eat it, & you find yourself in borderline panic mode if you are forced out of your workout routine or daily food rituals? Maybe, the mere idea of living life without nagging food thoughts seems entirely impossible to you? So impossible, that you have basically given up on the fact that you could ever be completely free from disordered eating & the anxiety you experience often. If you are like many of the women I coach, then you know exactly what it is like to feel crippled by fear & anxiety ruling your life. You know exactly what it's like to be terrified of going out to eat with others, unsure of what you can order on the menu, only to be plagued by guilt & shame after leaving the restaurant. Girl, there were SO MANY times I made up excuses to avoid social gatherings because my anxiety around food & friends/family was just to much for me to face. I desperately wanted a way out. I wanted so badly to be "normal". In today's episode, I share with you statistics, research & my own knowledge & personal experience with anxiety & disordered eating. I talk about what you can look out for if you have heightened anxiety & how it can co-exist with an eating disorder. I also discuss 3 things that you can start doing today to help minimize & provide more support for your journey. This episode is real & raw & tangible. I recorded episode 73, to encourage you to keep putting one foot in front of the other & push through each day with hope & accountability. You can completely change your life & recover from an eating disorder. You can also completely change your life & find freedom from anxiety. I hope you enjoy this one friend. If so, would you share it with someone you love that you think would benefit? it truly would mean the world to me! Thanks girl!

It's September 4th! How did we get here?! 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.

Hey Girl Hey! Happy Thursday! When you are chained & programmed to food thoughts controlling your every day, you measure your success by lack. You allow yourself less, you run on less, you wish to weigh less, you thrive on consuming less. Disordered eating becomes a game & you measure success on personal satisfaction & achievement on whether you do it "right" or eat "right", always feeling as though you are never enough, never worthy enough, or never thin enough. Life really is so much more than this! In today's episode on the podcast, I share with you 11 victories that you can celebrate along the way that have nothing to do with scale accomplishment or defining your sole purpose on this planet around a metric or number. You see, simple & still moments bring the most peace, clarity & freedom. True success is a series of small victories. But when you are consumed with other thoughts, it's hard to find the actual wins. Today is your opportunity to create the tomorrow you want & allowing yourself to celebrate all you have already accomplished is key to creating momentum & motivation along your journey. Plato said, "The 1st & greatest victory is to conquer YOU". SAY IT AGAIN GIRL! In Episode 71, I share with you 11 ways you can celebrate you today, so that you can conquer all that is holding you back. There is so much more to this life than to be controlled by food & to feel trapped in your body. I encourage you today to lean in to the show & share this one with a friend. I truly believe it will bless your heart! & the good news is that I have a few slots available for private recovery coaching for the month of September! If you are looking for accountability for your food freedom journey & personalized support, I am so excited to help support you. Come on over to the website @ www.lindseynichol.com & fill out a client application & let's get you in for a complimentary session so that we can change the way you do life & break the chains of disordered eating once & for all. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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 Monday Sis! Are you a "control freak" when it comes to food & your body? Maybe you try to control all the things.....yet, you forever feel out of control, like you are one day or event away from a complete mental &/or physical breakdown? Eating disorders are about so much more than controlling food intake & how many steps you get on the daily to control the way you look. Eating disorders thrive on a false sense of control. They survive on fear of the future, fear of gaining weight, & the thought of failing or "feeling" out of control only tightens their grip. In today's episode, I share with you 4 encouraging tips that you can focus on today to let go of what's controlling you, so you can actually gain control over you & your future. Sis, control is an illusion. When you can accept your reality, honor your story, get clarity over the things you can & can't control, & surrender to your false self, this is when you can call your power back. This is #winning! In Episode 70, I share important research that may spark the control freak in you, especially if you are a perfectionist constantly restricting food out of fear of the unknown. Truth -> real freedom from food controlling your life only comes from accepting you can't control everything & the real reality is that recovery comes from laying down the desire to try & control food & your body, so that you can become who you were made to be in the first place.....completely FREE! I hope you love today's show! & if you enjoy today's episode, share it with a friend & let me know what you resonated with the most! I would love to hear from you in our private community! Come share what you are letting go of today. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

In today's episode on the podcast, I share with you my absolute FAV dude mentor of all time -> Ed Mylett, & I discuss the power of ONE & ONE MORE & it's impact on your recovery process from disordered eating. Ed is one of the BEST motivational speakers in the WORLD, & ONE DAY, I will be on his podcast! But until then, I encourage you to listen in friend, because I truly believe that doing less in recovery & simplifying the process is where the magic happens....the power of ONE more. In this episode, I share the power of one & one more, & how this principle has the magic to completely transform your future, both in the way you think & the way you ACT along your freedom journey. You see... "The instant you accept responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you acquire the power to change it." ~Ed Mylett This show is going to require you to dig deep into your ONE THING! It's going to be so simple, yet so profound!! So think about it...what is your ONE THING? The one thing that you want freedom from? The one thing that is leaving you chained and stuck...the one thing that you wish you could wake up from, as if it was all a bad dream & you truly didn't have an unhealthy relationship with food? What is your thing? Why are you spending ONE MORE day at war with yourself & your body? You deserve so much better! In today's show, I get into the power of simplicity & how this can propel you along your recovery path....& how the clarity of doing ONE MORE THING can get you ONE MORE DAY closer to total freedom. Share this one with a friend girl! You won't want to miss the powerful truths in Episode 69.

Happy Monday sis! Today I am talking all about SELF CARE! WHOOPP WHOOPP! But don't get it twisted, I'm not just talking about bubble baths & spa days. (although, those are nice too!) I'm talking about the meaningful gift of self love that you MUST give yourself if you want total freedom from disordered eating. In Episode 68, I share with you the BEST Self principles, & how you can put yourself first if you struggle always putting everyone else, numero uno. True self care is the surrender of what you may want NOW, for what you know will help you be your absolute BEST. This simply means, true self care is going "all in on you", investing in you, being unapologetically committed to YOU & your recovery journey. The BEST thing I did on my path to food freedom, was to put myself first & get the support & help I needed, so that my family could ultimately come first in the long run. No more hungry & angry me. & no more overwhelmed, tired & defeated YOU! So if you struggle with people pleasing, putting everyone's needs ahead of yours, always being the caretaker....yet, exhausted by doing all the things & drowning in your disorder....then today's episode was recorded JUST FOR YOU! Plus, I leave you with your very own homework assignment to help you put you first! Tune in today for your self care takeaway & come share it with us in our private community so that you can gain additional support to help guide you along the way. & the good news is that I have a few slots for private recovery coaching available for the month of September left! If you are looking for very personalized support, I am so excited to help support you.

Hey girl, In today's Her Best Self podcast episode, I am laying out some TRUTH BOMBS! If you feel like you are constantly failing, never getting it, missing the mark, afraid to disappoint others, consistently striving for perfection....craving "being enough", yet never feeling close to enough.... then this one is for YOU! Here is a little insight to start your Thursday off strong: You can't hate yourself into a version of you that you love! In Episode 67, I share with you what you can do if you struggle with never feeling good enough. I mean, geeezzz can I relate or what?! I spent most of my life never feeling good enough, always striving to be better, do better, look better. But girl, I realized that the weight of never feeling "enough" was just too heavy to carry....& the truth is, it's too heavy for you to carry too! You don't have anything to prove to you other than you are enough just as you are. Better yet, you don't have anything to prove to anyone! Listen in, if your disordered relationship with food, your body & yourself is just too much to handle & you are sick & tired of trying to do it all perfectly...always feeling the weight of failure. News flash: you weren't made to be perfect! I hope this one brings so much love into your heart today friend. & if so, will you share it with a friend who needs the same reminder? talk to you soon girl, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Hey girl! I hope you are rolling into this new week with motivation & 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 -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Mine has been somewhat challenging lol, ohhh lifeee......but, I was so very excited to pop on the microphone today & share an epic episode of the Her Best Self Podcast with you! In Episode 65, I share a simple, intuitive reflection that you can practice right now if you have been feeling confused or "stuck" in disordered eating behaviors. If you know you want to get better & create the very best version of you, yet you aren't yet sure just what that even means or looks like in your life, then this one is for you friend! I talk about all of the BEST concepts (body, emotions, soul, thoughts) & how when these all work in perfect synergy you can find freedom from unhealthy patterns & behaviors keeping you blah in the "stuckness". Tune in sweet friend! & bring your fav notebook & pen :) If you enjoyed today's episode, share it with a friend & let me know what you enjoyed the most! I would love to hear from you in our community, with the answer to the question I asked you in today's show: "What IS IT that you don't want a year from now?" Now go on out there sis, & do one action to create the opposite! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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 Monday sister! I just love a fresh new week. It's basically a clean slate. A new chance to make a fabulous change. & let me start this week off, by saying, I am so very honored to have you tune in to today's episode. With every single new listen we are able to reach more & more women! But before you hit play, make sure to grab your favorite notebook & pen because I ask you some pretty epic questions in today’s show if I do say so myself ;) In Episode 64, I share with you bits & pieces of my recovery from anorexia & I discuss tactical takeaways for you to do next, in order to begin the healing journey in your own life. Did you know that nearly 60% of people who get treatment & support for their eating disorder actually make a full recovery? More than HALF! That should fire you up & bring so much hope to your heart. If you feel like you have been in isolation, living under a rock...constantly wondering if this will always be your life.....literally chained to food controlling you, then you MUST listen to today's show. A mentor once told me, "People don't actually fail. They quit." & that has stuck with me for years & years. Ask yourself today, "If I knew that I would not fail, how would I live my life?" Would it be different than how you are showing up in the present moment? If yes, then why are you spending one more day at war with yourself & your body? Why are you trying to control all the things, only to feel completely out of control with who you really are? Sis, it’s not working. Lean in to this one friend. I get pretty vulnerable, raw & real. I discuss pivotal questions to ask yourself to break free from disordered eating. I challenge you to think differently, to be curious & to embrace the unknown fear.

Hey sis hey! Happy Monday! I'm sure you have seen on Facebook, Pinterest & all over the GRAM, the inspiring memes & quotes sharing the message of the authentic self & what it means to be living your very best life. As a society, we love the inspo, the uplift & the screen savers. Reality though...well most of us aren't actually LIVING who we really are, who we were really created to be. Living in your truth means not only showing up authentic, but doing things daily that bring you happiness, while living as true to YOU as possible....without ZERO cares from others. Living in your truth means living without manipulation from your very self, in order to be what others want you to be or what you think you should be. In Episode 52, I discuss how you can trust the recovery process as you navigate freedom from disordered eating behaviors even when you don't yet trust the recovery process. The biggest step in trusting that recovery is the best path forward for you is living according to your TRUTH. This means, getting real with your desires. You see, eating disorders & disordered behaviors are LIES. The thought that if you eat this, then you will weigh that & be miserable.....it's a LIE. The belief that you aren't worthy, aren't in control, aren't able to recover....all LIES. When we live the life we think we should live, we actually stop living the life we so desperately want to live. STOP surrendering your values, dreams, & days trapped & chained to food controlling your life & your mind. When you can accept that life is imperfect & you weren't made to be perfect in order to be truly happy...this is the moment when you will start to actually become truly happy. The TRUTH -> the very thing that was killing me....saved me. And it can save you to sis! IF you can change your mind, you can change your entire life. If you can change your belief, you can change your actions. If you can change your thoughts, you can change your future. Stop living life for everyone else. Stop trying to fit into a mold that no longer serves you. Life in your truth is a life of true freedom. Life without restriction, binging, purging, overexercising, obsessing is a life of true freedom. So why are you spending ONE MORE DAY believing the lies? Why are you spending one more day obsessing over numbers, food, calories, weight? Surrender what once was (& is), so that you can experience all that is yet to come for you & your life. Learning to TRUST the recovery process, begins when you can learn to live according to who YOU really are. Own your story & your story won't own you. Own your truth & your truth will set you free. Maybe you are unsure if freedom from disordered eating really is a thing. Maybe you feel alone & broken. Maybe you feel so far from your TRUTH that you don't even know what that looks like anymore. Sis, feelings aren't facts! Feelings aren't TRUTH. I spent so many years of my life trapped, chained & confused, only to find out that my eating disorder wanted to keep me trapped, chained & confused....& only I had the ability to find the freedom I longed for & dreamed of. Today, I hope you refuse to remain attached to the lies & begin to understand that you can trust the process without knowing all the details. You can surrender your control, simply by saying "no more". I promise....freedom from ED is available to you, just as it has been available to me! Now it's time you start believing it :) If you are ready to show up & give it all you've got to battle disordered eating once & for all, then I encourage you to listen in to today's episode & EMBRACE TRUSTING YOUR TRUTH & trusting the process. I hope today's show brings a fire under you that pushes you forward, so that, you start making the changes you need to become the very best version of you. with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Good morning sis, Feeling stressed & chaotic in this season of life? Gosh, do I FEEL YOU! Maybe just maybe...you could use a little bit of HOPE? Maybe a little peace? Maybe a whole bunch of freedom?

Ask yourself today: If I need hope, if I want peace, if I desperately am searching for freedom from food controlling my life....where is my focus? Here is the TRUTH -> Your life RIGHT NOW if a result of focused past energy. Which also means, your future self (enter your BEST self), if a result of your current focus.

Hey Sweet Friend, I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of all the summer vibes. As I prepped for today's show I wanted to touch on a topic that is near & dear to my heart. Why? Well because I'm seeing more & more ladies come to me with orthorexia & I spent years & years of my life struggling with the same exact thing. According to the National Eating Disorder Association, orthorexia was deemed a term in 1998 & is the obsession with proper or "healthy" eating. Even though orthorexia is not classified as a clinical eating disorder, 21-57% of the population engage in these dangerous behaviors & distortions around food. Ask yourself: "Am I rigid with food that I limit myself to only allow certain options with certain ingredients? Do I view my eating as the best way & that I am a "clean eater", feeling somewhat superior around food choices & others? The problem with wellness culture today is that we have become so engrained to believe what everyone around us says is "healthy", so we adapt to that version of us. But sis, this can do way more harm that good. If your path to physical health requires harm to your mental health, then is it truly "healthy" at all? I think not... In Episode 60, I share with you the common warning signs of orthorexia & 3 simple steps to escape the hamster wheel of orthorexia controlling your life. You are not going to want to miss today's show! & I'd love to hear from you! If you are looking for more support, accountability & freedom, go on over to lindseynichol.com & fill out a client application. I am taking a few additional clients for the remainder of the summer & I would be honored to get to know you & see if recovery coaching is best for you as you navigate your journey of freedom. + it would truly bless me for you to join us in the private FB community!

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 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 -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Hey Sis, Today on the podcast I'm talking about the power of Community. Disordered eating is personal, it's secretive, it causes isolation. But in order to dig yourself out of the unhealthy patterns & behaviors keeping you stuck, you will need a positive uplifting community to help support you in the process. There are many benefits of joining a community of women with the same desires & dreams of freedom. In Episode 57, I share 4 big reasons why community is so imperative in the success of your recovery. You weren't meant to do this alone. In fact, I highly encourage you NOT to try to recover alone. So, if you are looking for fellowship, love, inspo & accountability from those who are struggling with many of the same things you are....come join us today! "Community is so much more than belonging to something; it's about doing something together that makes belonging matter." ~Brian Solis I hope today's show encourages you to reach out for help & support during your recovery journey. It would be an honor to have you join our private community where myself & other ladies who have "been there" & "done that" or "are doing that" can inspire you & uplift you along the way.

Happy Monday, In today's episode on the Her Best Self Podcast, I share with you 30 things that you can count instead of calories, macros & fat grams. Let's be for real, calorie counting can become addicting & obsessive. & if you find yourself counting calories or looking at labels constantly to determine what you can or cannot eat, then this episode is perfect for you! I spent most of my life counting every calorie. In fact, I became so obsessive that I literally would only allow myself 500 calories a day- MAX! If I didn't know how many calories were in something, it was a no. If I didn't have enough saved up for the day, it was a no. If it was over 100 calories at one time, it normally was a no. I'm not sharing this with you today to trigger you, but to EMPOWER YOU. There are so many other things that you can be counting besides calories. & I'm proof that you can learn to live without being chained to disordered eating behaviors (like counting cals, macros & fat grams) controlling your life. If you enjoyed today's episode, share it with a friend & let me know what you enjoyed the most! I would love to hear any additions that you have to this list.

Hey girl! How is your week going? As I sat down to record today's episode for you, I wanted to share more about my personal journey into behind the curtain of what it was truly like for me to go into the doctor's office for an annual appointment & leave with an eating disorder diagnosis. So many of you are struggling to make sense of it. Maybe today, you feel as though you are not "that bad off" & that you "are just healthier than most people". Gosh do I feel that on so many levels. In today's show, I speak about the exact feelings I felt after my diagnosis & the steps I took to get myself out of a fog & into freedom. If you are feeling broken, tainted, scared, confused, betrayed by you own freaking self....then today you will want to tune in. It's simply okay to not be okay. & it's okay to not feel ready to want to be any better than where you are right now. The 2 key ingredients to becoming the BEST version of you....are awareness & acceptance. I hope this episode brings some of this your way! If you enjoy the show, would you share it with a friend? & if you are new here or you've been here for a while, but we haven't yet connected, come on over to the Facebook community.

It's the first Monday of July, & you know what that means....SUMMER! Summer can be the BEST time & also one of the most triggering when you are in recovery from disordered eating. Diet culture screams weight loss plans, beach bods & fitspiration. July 4th brings fireworks, events with family....& FOOD. The truth is... summer can be super triggering! With less clothing & the fear of what other people may think of you...it's legit hard. According to researchers, 90% of women are disappointed with their bodies (especially in the summertime!) Isn't that stat insane? If you are there right now, give yourself grace sister. I see you. I spent so many summer's fueled by coffee & the desire of perfection. I spent so many summer's STARVING & miserable. I spent so many summer's completely obsessed with my body & counting every single morsel of food that entered my mouth. It was exhausting. Until I decided enough was enough. Girl, your summer body is the body that you have right now! Can you appreciate it? You don't have to LOVE your body, but you can nourish it & respect it. Your body is the vessel of how you experience life. What can you do this summer day to appreciate it? In today's episode, I share 6 coping strategies that you can turn to instead of restriction, overexercise & all the unhealthy behaviors keeping you chained to disordered eating. I hope you enjoy this one friend. If so, would you share it with someone you love that you think would benefit? Thanks girl!

Hi lady! How is your week going so far? I hope you are embracing summer in all the chaotic, yet somewhat relaxing vibes it brings. This week, I had a listener of the Her Best Self Podcast write in to us asking the question: "What do I do when that "voice" inside of my head gets louder in louder? I'm 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 Marie, in today's episode I share 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, that sits in your mind trying to control food & manipulate your body. Tune in today friend 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.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

In today's episode, I share with you many things that you can start giving yourself permission for RIGHT NOW! & I also share with you a mindfulness practice that I believe will bring peace, clarity & vision into your soul as you start your week strong.

Hey Sis! Have you ever wondered why some people find freedom from food controlling their life, but others never do? Maybe you question whether you truly will ever live life any other way? Or, maybe when you hear the word "freedom" & it resonates because it's something you want, but you just feel so very far away from what that actually looks like for you. How do you turn desire into real life?? I get that. & honestly, for a very long time I was unsure that I would ever recover from my unhealthy relationship with food & my body. I felt that I was broken....that I would always just be "this way". Fast forward years later, & I'm here to tell you.....it simply is NOT TRUE! It's a false narrative your brain will have you believing to keep you tied & chained. In today's episode, I share with you what tools you need in your toolbox to help you heal from disordered eating & how you can "want" it more than anything, yet still be completely stuck. Plus, in this episode, you will walk away with the BEST SELF reflection! A simple worksheet that I leverage with private, 1:1 coaching clients, that you can utilize today, to help you create more clarity & vision for the direction of your food freedom journey. & If you didn't know, one death occurs nearly every hour (52 minutes), according to ANAD, from complications from eating disorders. Isn't that insane girl?!! What is more insane, is that constantly remember questioning myself, as to if I would be one of those statistics. However, I'm walking, talking, living-proof, that there really is a way out from this disorder controlling your life! You just need the belief, the action, the commitment, and the vision to keep you going. It's so much more than wanting to change. Tune in today friend as I discuss these concepts & share with you the Best Self Reflection. & don't forget to jump on over & join us in the private community so that you can snag your BEST SELF reflection worksheet to help you find the freedom that is so very possible for you too! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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 Monday Sister! Can you believe the Her Best Self Podcast hit 50 episodes today? WHOOHOO! I am literally squealing I'm so excited. & because I wanted to do something different on the show today, I decided to share a client testimonial of a dear friend & former coaching client (Mia). If you are looking for a behind the scenes view of what exactly is possible for you with the support & accountability of recovery coaching, you will want to check out today's testimonial. I share a personal & vulnerable testimony of how Mia went from binging & broken to finding a beautiful breakthrough. Mia suffered from anorexia for 12 years prior to working with me. She felt her identity & value completely taken over from food controlling her life. She was trapped by her thoughts forever telling her that her worth was determined by the number on the scale. When Mia came to me she was broken, helpless & had lost all control of her life. If this is how you feel today friend....you aren't alone! I'll fast-forward to the good part (but you will want to make sure you listen in for all the deats!) With weekly accountability & the desire to apply holistic coping strategies & intuitive principles leveraged in sessions, Mia completely broke free from her eating disorder. She shares in her testimony, "Lindsey was my beacon of hope when I was at my darkest point and she showed me the beauty and freedom on the other side. With her coaching I was able to step across that road, out from under the clouds, free from ED's abusive voice. Let me tell you, once you cross that road you will realize everything ED was telling you is a lie. Over here in the sunshine things are easy, free and I have never been happier with my body or myself. I could not have done this without Lindsey." I am so honored to have had the privilege to coach Mia through her recovery journey. & friend, I would be blessed to do the same for you! If you are ready to take the plunge & go "all in" on becoming the very best version of you, head on over to lindseynichol.com & fill out a coaching application.

Hi Sis, Have you ever watched a 5-year-old eat? You can learn SO very much from the way that kids eat. & if you sit with yourself, you may actually miss the days where you weren't focused on weight, body image or caloric intake. Maybe you so desperately miss the days where food was fuel & food was fun...& food wasn't controlled. In today's episode, I share with you the 7 principles that you can adopt from kids to help supercharge your recovery journey...simply by applying these core concepts around the way kids eat! Kids live in the moment. They embrace new things. & most young kids (well my boys atleast), let's face it -> they never let options stop them from trying to get their way! You see, kids aren't worried about failing. They fall riding their bike & they get right back on....fearless in the face of concreate. LOL. On the show today, I have a very special guest....& I truly believe that this episode will help you explore ways to make recovery (& food) fun again. If you are ready to escape those food rules & live life to the fullest, tune in friend! Girl, I pray that you have the spirit of a determined child! I pray that you start taking ownership of your life & that you say "no more" to food controlling it! If you are ready to enjoy food, love life & embrace the new version of you that you are becoming.....then this is your time! I believe in you :) with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

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 48, 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!

Happy Thursday! Have you ever wondered if you have OCD? Do you frequently find yourself having intrusive, repetitive thoughts that lead to compulsive behaviors? Maybe you experience ongoing anxiety associated with obsessions? When most people think about eating disorders they focus primarily on food restriction, over-consumption or unhealthy patterns, such as, binging, purging, over-exercising, etc., but is there a relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder & disordered eating? Researchers & clinicians believe there is much overlap between ED & OCD. In fact, according to the international OCD foundation, 64% of individuals diagnosed with eating disorders also have at least one anxiety disorder, & roughly 41% have OCD. Both OCD & ED are tied back to one word: control! But just because you exercise excessively or you restrict your food intake, doesn't mean you also have OCD. In today's episode I share research with you & some of the similarities & distinctions between obsessive-compulsive disorder & eating disorders. And while I WILL NOT proclaim to have any clinical background, what I do share is all available out there on the google & also represents my personal experience with exploration in understanding & educating myself on OCD & the relationship with my own past struggle with anorexia. I hope you enjoy today's episode friend! If this one resonates with you, share it with someone you love & come on over to our private Facebook community.

Bruce Lee says, "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." & gosh do I vibe with that sister friend! An easy way isn't the BEST way to recovery from food control & unhealthy behaviors leaving you trapped & stuck. In fact, facing the difficulty head on & embracing the suck of it all, is exactly the path forward to true & lasting freedom. In today's episode, I talk with you about familiar excuses that you may be telling yourself that are leaving you in a pit of shame & stuckness. I share with you how simply reframing them can help you shape your future in the best direction possible. You see, the quality of your life (& freedom from disordered eating), is a result of the quality of your decisions (or lack of decisions).

Hey friend! Did you know that according to researchers, regular practice of affirmations and positive self-talk actually has power to create superior momentum of influence in your life? So much so, there is MRI evidence suggesting that increases of positive affirmations lead to self-rewarding behavior change. In Episode 45, I share with you why affirmations are important in your food freedom journey, plus when you can use them, & if they are actually enough to drive positive change. I also talk about how you can start leveraging affirmations TODAY, & I give you 10 of my very own mantras to use in your daily practice. Finding your identity is what I believe is the #1 path to letting go of food having power over you. Utilizing positive self-talk and affirming techniques (just like the ones you will find in today's show), can strengthen your eating disorder recovery & help you navigate the TRUTH of who you really are (insert -> chain breaking freedom tied to core values & beliefs!) If you are constantly worried about what other people think of you or how you measure up in this world, tune in today girl! Use these exact self-affirming statements to recenter yourself, so that you can connect back to the only person you have true control over.....YOU. You are enough. You deserve happiness. You are the only thing that is in your way today sis! You have the power to surrender to what was & embrace what is yet to be! I believe in you!

I talk about the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating from authors Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch, & I discuss the 3 different principles you can apply in your life TODAY to help you begin to practice what it means to be an "intuitive eater". Listening to your body, & it's needs to fuel, function & thrive at it's absolute BEST, is what it is going to take for you to find TRUE & lasting Freedom from disordered eating controlling your life.

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! with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?

Hey girl! How was your weekend? Mine was WAYYY too short! I spent some of it chasing my 5 year old on training wheels & some of it watching my 9 year old train for the minor leagues. Did I mention, I also managed to save a baby deer? Yep. I literally ran across a busy highway holding a wild animal, screaming at the top of my lungs. I apologize in advance if you were a bystander! Oh, how I love that summer is almost here! But, one major highlight of my weekend was spending some quality time on the mic recording today's episode just for you. In Episode 42, I talk about 7 common myths & misconceptions of disordered eating & how knowing the truth can actually help set you FREE! I LOVE today's show....because I know when you know better, you DO better! & I know that it will help bless someone who may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of eating that are leaving them trapped & chained in a never-ending cycle. Maybe, just maybe...that someone is you?! I see you sister. I get you. & I share some pretty big controversial topics with this one! I talk about how: Eating disorders are NOT a choice. Dysfunctional families don't cause eating disorders. Disordered eating is about WAY more than controlling food & altering physical appearance. Men struggle with disordered eating almost as much as women. & who needs meal plans anyways??? So tune in to today's show! It's one you won't want to miss, sis! recovery hugs, lindsey _ Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ 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!?
