Happy Tuesday friend!

I have the BEST news for you :)

I just dropped a brand new episode on the pod today that you DO NOT want to miss.

No but for realssss...go run (not walk) & listen to Episode 177 of the Her Best Self Podcast today, where I share with you the "Day Dare Method" & how you can create positive & lasting change in your life by simply "daring" yourself!

~

Do you remember the game "truth or dare" from your childhood?

Those were the days...

Well even if you have zero idea what I'm talking about, I encourage you to listen in to how you can "dare" yourself daily to help get you out of "stuckness" into ACTION.

In this episode, I discuss what a "day dare" is & how you conduct one of your own. I even provide examples for you to implement & share how you can continue to build on your day dares over time for momentum & progression as you heal from years of disordered eating behaviors.

~

"You don't grow when things are easy sis, you grow when you face double-dog dares." (that one's from me!)

~

Share this episode with someone you love. I triple-dog dare you!

I hope it inspires you & encourages you to step out with courage, as you challenge yourself to uplevel to your very best self!

Let's go!

xo,

lindsey

This year is flying by! How is it going for you sis?

The truth over here is we are one baseball weekend to the next & I am doing my best to keep up with both boys, while granting myself permission to rest at the same dang time.

I'm sure you feel me.

My biggest advice: snacks on snacks!

This baseball mom must have all snacks on deck for survival in the busy season.

But it wasn't always that way for me....you see, I use to avoid snacks. I would tell myself that I could snack but only instead of eating a real meal.

Any extras seemed scary...& at that point in my life...unnecessary.

What changed? Well, I knew if I wanted to get somewhere I hadn't gone, then I had to do something that I hadn't done. So I followed my dietician's advice, & I packed snacks with me every time I left the house, so that I would never be in the position to skip eating. I ate the snacks...& the real meal.

& after years of recovering myself, I wanted to bring to you a podcast episode around what traits & I feel are the core characteristics of those who have recovered.

Listen in to Episode 176.5, I hope this one blesses you today friend!

hugs,

lindsey

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.

xo,

lindsey

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!

& 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.

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!

~

~

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!

lindsey

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

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

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!

xo,

lindsey
