  • EP 157: The #1 Pitfall to Avoid Right Now as You Break the Chains of Disordered Eating & Bad Body Image
    Jul 12 2024

    Happy FRIYAY sister friend!

    Gosh, am I ready for the weekend. How about you?

    I'm actually freaking out a tad because we are leaving for our annual beach vacay in the OBX tomorrow & I haven't packed a thing....

    BUT...that was because ya girl got priorities! & the main one today was ensuring I jumped on the podcast to send you a message of hope & support.

    Plus, who am I kidding? I work better under pressure! LOL

    ~

    In Episode 157 of the HBS podcast, I share the #1 pitfall to avoid as you break the chains of disordered eating & bad body image.

    Sis, the truth is...if you aren't okay asking for help with your secret struggle of food controlling your life...then your why isn't big enough & you aren't committed enough.

    (SIGH...I said it!)

    It's not enough to hope for a happy & a healthy future....it requires uncomfortable action every.single.day.

    Get in the habit of asking, "Is what I'm doing right now in support of the life I'm trying to create?"

    & then go out & do the next right thing.

    You got this!

    I hope this one gives you all the feels & you share it with someone you love.

  • EP 156: Coaching Over Coffee ~ ”How Do I Know if I’m Eating Enough or if I'm Overeating?"
    Jul 9 2024

    Hey girl HEYY!

    How is your week starting? I hope so very 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!

    ~

    In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 156, I answer the question:

    "How do I know if I'm eating enough or overeating?"

    ~

    Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still):

    If you find yourself questioning if you should have another bite or more than what you currently are eating...the answer is YES. You have permission sis! & NO this doesn't mean you are binging.

    What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from a scarcity mindset. & what you need is to work your way up to a goal that makes sense for you.

    When you live life from a place of lack...you believe you aren't allowed to have something or you are afraid you won't have enough of something, you go against what it is you actually want....ABUNDANCE and FREEDOM of that very thing.

    This rule is a classic ED tactic, but you are capable of changing it!

    Reality is, if you haven't allowed yourself prior permission....now is the time & when your body is questioning if you've had enough or more than enough it's usually a sign it just wants permission for more. THIS IS A GOOD THING!

    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!

    & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email directly at info@lindseynichol.com.

  • EP 155: Celebrate Your Independence & Find Ultimate Freedom From ED With These 4 Human Qualities
    Jul 5 2024

    Hey Friend,

    How was your July 4th? I hope you had all the fun as you celebrated Independence Day & Freedom!

    The boys & I went to the pool & enjoyed the hot summer day here in the VA. It was full of red, white & blue & I was reminded of just how incredible it is to be FREE. TRULY FREE! Free from the chains of my eating disorder.

    Steven Covey (one of my fav authors) says this, "Every human has 4 qualities that give us ultimate freedom. These endowments grant us the power to choose, to respond & to change."

    Want to know what these are?

    Come on over & listen to today's podcast, where I share with you these 4 qualities + all things independence & freedom.

    ~

    My sweet sis, if you have been feeling chained, oppressed, stuck or defeated by the thoughts in your mind & those unhealthy behaviors keeping you trapped in the nasty cycle of disordered eating then know this....you are NOT alone & you can gain back your independence from an eating disorder.

    So stand up today & honor you! Stand up today & fight for you! Stand up today & put on your full amour, so that you can win the battle in your mind & experience true & lasting FREEDOM.

    You deserve it!

    Now go on over to the pod & listen in to Episode 155!

    with love & hugs,

  • EP 154: How to Honor Your Recovery & Navigate Summer Schedules, Vacations & Travel Without Losing Momentum of What You Truly Want🏖️
    Jul 2 2024

    Happy Tuesday sis!

    Goodness, am I excited to bring you Episode 154 of the Her Best Self Podcast.

    In today's episode I talk all about navigating the summer season & embracing recovery as you prep for upcoming events, vacations & schedule changes.

    Between BBQs, summer parties, bathing suits, kids in different activities, being home more often & out of your normal routine, there are A TON of things that can lead to anxiety & overwhelm during the summer months. But this doesn't have to consume the most amazing time of the year.

    In this episode, I share with you a few tools that I use in private coaching sessions with clients that can help armor you up for a summer of recovery success!

    ~

    The truth is that eating disorders don't take vacations....& this is why your recovery can't either.

    Summer can be the perfect time to schedule you in as your first priority & develop a plan of attack against those nasty thoughts keeping you chained.

    I hope this episode helps give you peace as you navigate your summer & supports you to take the next opposite action so that you can fight back & gain momentum to level up your recovery game.

    with hugs & so much love,

  • EP 153: 3 Steps to Help You Surrender the Desire to "Lose Weight" or ”Maintain Weight”, so That You Can Find True & Lasting Freedom in Your Natural Body Size
    Jun 28 2024

    Hey sis! How is the week going for you?

    I am actually a busy busy bee this week. My husband's brother is getting married tomorrow & we are in the midst of all the things. I'm not going to lie though....I love me a wedding! There is something so sweet, innocent & pure....

    The commitment reminds me of committing to doing whatever it takes to find freedom from an eating disorder.

    So today I wanted to share a very special episode! I recorded Episode 153 just for you if you have been struggling to surrender to recovery & truly commit to a healthy life....one that is no longer restrictive & obsessive with food & exercise.

    In today's episode I share the importance of a shift in perspective. You see, recovery requires complete surrender of how you view weight loss, weight maintenance & weight gain.

    BUT YOU CAN GET THERE!

    ~

    You deserve freedom. TOTAL freedom. TRUE freedom. Not half-way freedom.

    Tune in to today's show 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,

    Hey Sis!

    Oh MY GEE have I missed you!

    As I've transitioned to airing the show on Tuesday's & Friday's from the usual Monday's & Thursday's it feels much longer since I've been in your ear this week.

    Anyhoo, I've been waiting to share this one with you & I promise today's episode will change the way you show up for yourself & your recovery!!

    In Episode 152, I share a vulnerable story from my past & I talk about the BIGGEST problem that you will EVER face as you navigate your own personal path to freedom from ED.

    ~

    I won't say that recording this one was easy for me... but my purpose behind this past pain wasn't to stir up old wounds, but to show up & serve you. Yes you!

    If you struggle with never feeling good enough.

    Never feeling small enough.

    Never feeling ENOUGH.

    This message is perfect timing - - & I encourage you to listen in!

    ~

    Galatians 5:13 says, "You were chosen to be free".

    FREE feels good & it's available to you friend.

    It's time you start LIVING that truth!
