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. I hope today's show encourages you to expect greatness from yourself.

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 -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ 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 -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ 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 -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ 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. 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 -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

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. Tom Bodett says, "They say a person needs just 3 things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, & something to hope for." I hope today's show brings hope to your weary heart & that you continue to love on that special someone in your life that is going through this struggle to freedom. Have faith, sis! & if you or someone you love is searching for support, I'd love to get to know you & share with you just how recovery coaching & the holistic tools & principles I leverage with private clients can help support your recovery journey.
