Hey girlfriend,

How dis your week beginning? I'd love to hear all the stories of how your spring is starting off! I spent the weekend recording the pod for you, practicing yoga with my hubby & having a movie night snuggled up next to the boys.

But none of that is what I wanted to chat with you about today.

Today, I wanted to dive right in to GUT HEALTH! So here it goes....

How is your gut?

Weird question to ask right? Well, maybe not so strange after all.

If you experience high levels of anxiety or stress, don't be surprised if that comes alongside gas, bloat or other gut health issues.

Another fun fact...

Did you know your gut is your 2nd brain?

Yep!

Research shows that your gut & brain are directly linked & it's actually very common if you are stressed or overwhelmed to experience GI disfunction.

In Episode 203.5, I talk all things gastro, bloat, constipation & how you can tame those tummy troubles while navigating freedom from food controlling your life!

The truth in recovery from disordered eating is that you most likely will experience stomach discomfort, but the good news is that it won't last forever.

So if you are currently in the thick of it, then this one is a must listen!

I'll meet you on the podcast!

xo,

lindsey

Happy Friday!

 & I am so here for it. It has been the longest week. Both of my boys, including my husband, (so all three boys) here in the Nichol household have had the worst sickness of literally the past five years of our life. I feel like it has just been constant and it has gone on all week long, and quite honestly, I'm just excited to get my house back.

As crazy as that sounds, I'm glad that everybody's at work and everybody's at school, and I can sit here and enjoy some time with me and my coffee and of course you. (And yes I am so happy that my crew is on the mend!)

So welcome to the show sis! Thank you so much for listening.

In Episode 203 of the podcast today. I share with you the exact steps I would take if I fell back into the trap of an eating disorder. This episode is going to help you if you are are just beginning understanding the recovery process or if you have been stuck in relapse after relapse. It's indeed a MUST listen!

~

I personally feel like God has put in my heart and has called me to help as many women as possible get through to the other side and to recover from this devastating illness. And I don't want you to sit on that anymore. If you've been listening to the show, I hope you feel like this is a safe place for you and that this is your home.

And I am so encouraged that you keep coming back and listening to episodes here. But here's your personal invitation. Let's take this up a notch.

It's one thing to listen and apply, and I love that you're soaking up all of the content because it's absolutely free and it is my gift to you, but I want you to take it up a notch. Let's work together sis! Go on out to www.herbestself.co and fill out a client application so that I can get you on the books for spring!

I don't want you to miss out on all that God has for you! I don't want you to miss out on your version of freedom.

You are worthy.

You are able.

You are capable.

You are enough.

xo,

lindsey

Hey there sis!

Whew it has been a start to my week.

Both of my boys are sick with something awful (negative flu and strep tests) but it has got this mama worn slam out! And it got me thinking what the doctor said..."it's time to get back to the basics mom." Huh? You want my kids to "just rest" and get better? No magic antibiotic that I can refill on our way home today sir?

Sadly....Nope.

ARGHHHH!!!!

~

This fun story (yet not really) gave me the inspiration to share on the podcast today about how important it is to go back to the basics when you may be in a recovery slump.

Recovery isn't about becoming a different person sis, it's about reclaiming the person you were always meant to be. And gosh can I not wait for you to do that! (And I can't wait for my boys to get that much needed R & R themselves.)

Your worth is not measured in your productivity. In Episode 202, I share with you the 8 fundamental and foundational human needs to reclaim your motivation for recovery.

You won't want to miss this one.

I'll meet you on the podcast!

 Hey girl! Happy Friday!

Oh my gosh...am I so glad to talk with you today. In Episode 201 of the Her Best Self Podcast, we are diving in to 7 different ways that you can break the cycle of "Good Girl Syndrome". Never heard of it before? Tune in if you find yourself constantly striving for perfection and people pleasing...this one is going to blow your mind.

I don't know about you, but I grew up in an environment of always wanting to be good. The fear of disappointing my parents or my figure skating coach led me right into the grip of an eating disorder because the desire to be perfect took over all areas of my life. But with if you decided to stop measuring success based on your accomplishments, appearance, or other peoples opinions of you?

~

Food is a basic right friend. You don't have to earn it. You don't have to be "good" with your food choices in order to be "good" as a person. You deserve nourishment, just because.

I'll meet you on the podcast!

How is your week going sis? I am in baseball mom mode over here. Yep, this past weekend we geared up for another season of travel baseball!

I never thought I'd actually feel proud wearing bright yellow, as it's not really "my color"....(lol, Go Pirates!), but it sure was fun over the weekend spectating, screaming & living life in the present moment.

When I sat down to bring content to you on the podcast today, I thought I MUST share all about identity. I recorded this one during last baseball season and it fits perfectly with my spring ball vibes!

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 200.5, I share with you the importance of separating yourself from your eating disorder. I ask you questions for you to challenge yourself 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. You are a warrior.

Hey there sister, friend~

I'm so glad to drop a new message of truth into your inbox today! I cannot wait for you to listen to Episode 200 on the Her Best Self Podcast. I don't even know how we got here. I feel like I blinked and we're at episode 200. This has to be the best project I've ever done outside of completely healing myself from a toxic relationship with food and my body for years.

In Episode 200, I talk about your perfect weight, what it is, how you can find it, and ultimately how you can redefine what you're looking at in terms of measurement.

We live in a culture obsessed with numbers on the scale. Magazine covers wellness influencers on Instagram and even healthcare providers push this idea that there's a magical number that will solve all of your problems. But what if I told you friend that your perfect weight has nothing to do with a number? Are you mind blown yet?

Well, if you've been listening to the show for some time, you already have been preached at by me regarding this topic, so stick with me long enough and I will have you believing that you deserve a free life.

But I wanted to start today's show with a question. How much mental and emotional energy do you spend thinking about your weight? Maybe it's a significant amount.

I wanna ask a follow up question: Is it worth it? Is all that energy actually improving your life? Is it making you better? Is it making you worth more?

Is it making you happier?

Today, I wanted to offer a different perspective because I just felt this calling on my heart, not only to make Episode 200 freaking epic, because hey, that's why you're here is to listen to some good stuff that's actually gonna change your life. But to have you shifting your mindset a bit.

Sis, what if your perfect weight isn't a number at all, but rather a state of being?

You'll have to listen to the full episode for all the good parts of this message...

I'll meet you on the podcast!

xo,

lindsey

This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and I felt called to dedicate today's podcast episode to shedding light on these often misunderstood mental illnesses. Whether you're personally struggling, supporting someone who is, or just wanting to educate yourself – today's show is a MUST listen!

In Episode 199, I'm going beyond the surface to uncover the hidden truths about eating disorders, backed by statistics that might surprise you. And more importantly, I'll be sharing tangible ways you can support yourself or someone you love who's fighting this battle.

You were not meant to do this alone.

So decide today to approach your recovery with a fresh new pair of glasses and recommit to yourself today to stop the madness of this mental illness.

I believe in you!

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 today's show, 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.

I can't wait for your listen!

xo,

lindsey
