EP 107.5: Eating Disorder vs. Disordered Eating Replay! Details You Need to Know as You Navigate Food Freedom

Hey GF!
I looked back on some of the most downloaded shows of all time and snagged a goodie for you today to revisit! In this episode I share all about the primary difference between disordered eating vs. an eating disorder. I also discuss what constitutes disordered eating & causes of eating disorders. 
This episode shares research & stats that are so very important to understand when supporting a loved one with recovery & if you are navigating whether or not you have an unhealthy relationship with food. 
As a certified eating disorder recovery coach, I help support my clients with the best tools & resources, as well as the importance of the role diet culture & society play in disordered eating & the impact of eating disorders in young girls & women in general.
Tune in to learn more about the main distinction that separates disordered eating from eating disorders, & learn how you can find out more information.

Happy Monday friend!
Is fear keeping you stuck in restrictive food behaviors?
Maybe everyone around you is doing the next best diet and you are simply trying to survive the chaos as you so desperately want OUT of food thoughts controlling your mind.
In Episode 107, I share 7 benefits of journaling, so that you can set your mind FREE!
I know you probably think journaling is overrated....maybe you've tried it in the past but you weren't consistent. Maybe it felt like too much work? I mean let's get real.....thinking about what you are thinking about feels like work am I right?
It's all good sis, I got you!
Listen in to today's show and start SMALL. There is no right way!
Maya Angelou said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you." And I couldn't agree more.
It's time to LET IT OUT and get all of your thoughts out on paper.

EP 106: Girl, Own Your Accomplishments! Listen in as I Guide You Through a Self Reflection Practice for When You’re Feeling Like a Failure

Hello my sweet friend,
Today is a fabulous day to stand in your truth and practice a self reflection that will have you feeling hopeful and inspired.
If you are new to practicing self reflection then today is a perfect day to listen in to the Her Best Self podcast as I walk you through a guided experience that I believe is exactly what you need to jumpstart your first week of the new year!
If you have been feeling overwhelmed and anxious as you struggle to overcome the disordered relationship you have with food and your body...then this one is for you sis!
Brene Brown says, "You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of LOVE and belonging!
And I couldn't agree more! You will encounter struggle as you do hard things, but you don't have to settle for the struggle. You deserve MORE!
You are worthy and capable of BIG things!
~
Recovery from years of unhealthy patterns and behaviors with food is HARD.
But staying STUCK is even harder.
So if you find yourself struggling today to be perfect in all the things, so much so that you have a hard time honoring any growth or accomplishments that you have done in a positive direction to overcome this nightmare...then Episode 106 is for you!
Take out a journal or piece of paper and get ready to lean in as I guide you through a self reflection you won't want to miss.
I can't wait for your listen and to hear how this episode impacts you today!

Holiday's can be tough when you are stuck in your own mess of disordered eating. It can be extremally hard to take a step back & give yourself anything....am I right?
In today's episode, I talk about the 8 (non-tangible) gifts that you can give yourself this Christmas. These gifts have the power to change your life, your future, & your relationship with your body & food.
You DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!
Believe me, I see you.... For years of my life, I remember Christmas being excruciating. Opening up clothes from family that weren't my size or treats brought by friends encouraging me to eat them, did nothing but trigger me & push me deeper into a pit of darkness.
This season, you can do something different for you. You can change the way your future unfolds. You can take back the control, just like I did.
You can learn to embrace all that you are & all that you have TODAY. Yes, you may not be where you want to be. It may be hard. But use this episode as encouragement. With these 8 FREE gifts that you can give yourself this Christmas, I promise you will start your year off better & stronger than you have before.
If you are DONE doing things your way. If you are TIRED of being controlled by food on a holiday that should be valued, cherished & enjoyed to the fullest, then this episode is for you.
If this podcast touches your heart this holiday season, I'd love to hear from you!
Send me an email @ info@lindseynichol.com & tell me your thoughts! The number one way you can thank me is to write a rating & review on Apple Podcasts. This allows me to reach more women that need this message. & it would be an honor to know I've impacted you & your life, or the life of someone you love.
with love & purpose + all the merry of Christmas,
lindsey

EP 102: Calling All Cardio Queens & Peloton Princesses! Do You Feel Guilty When You Miss a Workout? 5 Steps to Make Peace With Exercise

Happy Monday Sister Friend!
Have you heard of the phrase, "never miss a Monday"? Gosh, how I use to put that one on like a badge of gym honor. I would show up at 5am on Monday morning ready to slay those calories I hadn't even consumed yet. I was chained to the treadmill. I was addicted to exercise. & don't get me wrong....I hated it.
But I was scared of what I would look like if I didn't workout every day. I was terrified to gain weight. I was afraid of what other people would say about me & my body. I mean, society tells us we are our healthiest when we are pushing harder, lifting heavier, running faster.
Until one day I was more tired than terrified. I got so depleted from trying to keep up with my eating disorder & my unhealthy exercise behaviors, that I just couldn't do it one more day. It had to STOP before my heart exploded.
If you find yourself there today friend....you aren't alone!
I found peace with exercise & you can do the same.
In Episode 102, I share 5 steps that you can take TODAY to change the way you view exercise.
You don't want to miss today's episode of the podcast.
I hope this blesses you & helps you grant yourself permission that you need to HEAL, to REST and to BE.
Start small & be proud! You are creating the BEST version of you.
love ya girl,
lindsey
