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

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

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

EP 173.5: Unlocking ED Freedom 🛣️ Pave the Path to Recovery With Patience, Permission, Persistence & Purpose... (MUST Listen Fav!)
Hey girl!
I hope you are rolling into Friday with fire under you as you fight the good fight of navigating freedom from disordered eating.
Reality -> breaking free from controlling thoughts & behaviors is tough! & the fact that you are hanging in there is proof that freedom from this CAN & WILL happen in your life.
In today's episode, I discuss the 4 "P's" that are pivotal in your recovery journey, & perfection is NOT one of them!
You see, maybe you don't have the full & complete roadmap to recovery "just yet", but with these 4 critical elements you will be that much closer to finding the freedom you so desperately deserve.
I believe, the biggest lie about your purpose is that you find it. You don't FIND purpose, you CHOOSE purpose. Sister, you were created for a PURPOSE. Stop spending one more day at war with yourself & your body, so that you can leap into the freedom of your future....leaving ED behind once & for all!
~
"To persist, you must treasure the dream more than any amount of cost that you will sacrifice in order to obtain it." ~Richelle Goodrich
~
I hope today's show touches your soul & uplifts you as you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life.
with love & hugs,
lindsey

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

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

In today's episode, I discuss 6 steps that you can take to create more BELIEF in your life, so that you can truly lean into recovery freedom.
~
Let's rewind for a minute as I take you back to my own struggle with disordered eating...
I was lost. Exhausted. Constantly thinking about what I could eat next & when I could eat it. I was miserable. & I spent years in the same wonky cycle trying to convince myself that everything was fine & I was fine....oh how I was so far from fine.
Fast Forward to my "ah-ha"....I hated life & I craved a better way. But in the process of creating more for myself I came across my own personal lack of BELIEF.
The only way out girl, was through. & the same goes for you. But the good news is, if you are constantly feeling doubtful & discouraged...you can take steps today to start feeling more motivated & hopeful. The same steps I took as I crawled myself out of the deep dark hole I found myself in with anorexia.

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

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

EP 169: Did You Know That You Have the Possibility to Recover? LISTEN IN for Hope, Testimonies & Truth
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!
