I’m Lindsey Nichol. Former competitive figure skater & perfectionist turned God-led women’s wellness diva, LEO wife, imperfect #boymom & digital CEO. For years of my life, I felt trapped in my body, never feeling good enough, small enough or perfect enough. I lacked self-worth, energy & hope. I fell into the trap of society norms & diet culture & I built my entire identity on false worldly metrics. I valued my number on the scale, my pant size, & my calorie count as a means of how good, perfect, worthy or in control I was as a human. My battle with anorexia left me broken, alone & far from the TRUE SELF that I missed so dearly yet craved so completely. With God, support, grace & intuitive recovery methods, I healed & rebuilt my life from ground zero. I want to help you do the same, my friend! A decade later, I am honored to play a pivotal role in guiding women, just like you, through their own healing journey. With 1:1 coaching, my proven recovery blueprint based on intuitive strategies & personal insights, you’ll experience nothing but the BEST uplifting content in this safe place. So grab your iced coffee & your favorite journal as we walk together through the detour of perfection to the highway of purpose. Let’s have you thriving versus barely surviving. It’s time to break the chains of fear, food & control, so that you can experience the freedom your heart so desperately deserves. It’s an honor to have you here girl! Healing might not always be easy, but with a guiding light beside you, it is POSSIBLE. Now, let’s find your TRUE SELF, or should I say, your BEST SELF! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co * While I am a certified health coach, anorexia survivor & eating disorder recovery coach, I do not intend the use of this message to serve as medical advice.

Hey Sister Friend!
I can't wait to share a brand new message today to help support you as you navigate freedom from food controlling your life.
In Episode 99 of the podcast, I share a huge mistake that is keeping you from freedom & 2 strategies that you can implement RIGHT NOW to overcome this mind game once & for all!
If you are always looking for "the thing" keeping you from a life free from food thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, then today's episode was recorded just for you!
~
I'll let you in on a hint -> Repetition is the key to recovery. You are what you do on repeat. You become what you want to be by being what you want to become.
In order to build a battleplan to truly experience life without constantly thinking about food, you will need to let go of the journey looking a certain way...& just put one foot in front of the other & WALK IN IT!
& remember today girl...I'm walking right beside you every step of the way!
You got this!

Hey there girl!
Can you believe that December is here & we are falalalala-ing all the way into a brand new year in a matter of weeks?
I always find at the end of a year, thinking about the things that I clung to, & the not so good things that clung to me. & I wonder how I can make the next one even better.
Sadly, I used to wonder how I was going to exercise away Christmas food choices, avoid weight gain & get back to a rigid routine as soon as the clock struck midnight. So much so, that I became completely chained to my eating disorder.
~
If your lifestyle requires you to track, monitor & count every food morsel, carb, calorie, or pound on the scale.....then ask yourself -> are you really living?
I know one thing is for sure...freedom from disordered eating is REAL, because I myself have escaped her chains. I myself broke the patterns of unhealthy diets, restrictions & behaviors that year after year kept me trapped in my own mind & body.
And, YOU can too!
In Episode 98, I share all about ambivalence in recovery & I talk about the path of pain.
Tune in to the show today sis! It's a goodie!
Plus, I'd be honored if you shared this one with someone you love that may struggle with disordered eating & could use a positive dose of inspo leading up to the holiday.

Hey there!
Did you know, 80% of your daily thoughts are negative? Crazy right?!
& to top that statistic off, 95% of your daily thoughts are repetitive.
So what does this mean? Well, it means if you lack motivation & drive, question whether you can really ever change, or you constantly feel like you are running on an empty tank wishing you could wave a magic wand & get off the struggle bus of disordered eating to live a life of freedom.....you aren't alone. You aren't wrong. You aren't flawed. You aren't bad. You are a normal human who has been listening to that inner critic that lives inside of you & you have been believing the lie.
Maybe for you, that is the lie of not being good enough.
Or maybe for you, it's the lie that if you gain weight you will be judged, rejected or abandoned.
Or maybe just maybe, it's the lie that you will forever be trapped in an unhealthy relationship with food controlling your life.
In Episode 97 of the podcast, I share with you the 7 Inner Critics (backed by science), plus a simple, yet strategic reflection that you can do today (which will take you only 5-10 minutes), to help you reframe your thoughts so that you can transform the way you do life.
Here is your Thursday reminder:
Sis, you are the boss of you!
You are the CEO of your life.
& the reality is, it's not WHO you are that holds you back from living your very best life as your very best self, it's who you think you are NOT.
It's time to stand in your truth & completely change the game! It's time to take your power back & show that voice in your mind who is in the driver seat.
Listen in today friend. This episode will get you inspired & it will drive you towards ACTION :)
You won't want to miss this one girl!
sending you hugs & so much love,
lindsey

Hey Friend!
I hope you had the BEST holiday weekend!
I wanted to drop a new podcast episode right in your inbox today, in case you need a new listen as you embrace a case of the Monday's.
Episode 96 is all about how your disordered eating impacts your kids & those in your immediate circle & what you can do about it RIGHT NOW to change the dynamic!
Did you know, 75% of kids & teens who develop eating disorders are influenced by parental practice's of eating or parental beliefs around body image?
As we grow, we look to the cloest ones around us to model & show us the way. Today's episode is NOT to shame you or make you feel like you have failed at life. It's to create positive momentum & PUSH for you to propel your family dynamic forward.
I share 5 specific things you can start doing today to change your home & the way you show up in front of your kids (& generations to come!)
You won't want to miss this one girl!
sending you hugs & so much love,
lindsey

Happy Turkey Day!
I hope you enjoy your day full of family, friends & yes....food. You can do it sis!
In Episode 95 of the Her Best Self Podcast, I share hope, love and FREEDOM realities just for you, as you navigate the turkey table.
You see, you are allowed worries and anxieties, and actually both can help nudge you forward as you embark on the journey of escaping disordered eating. But, worries can keep you stuck in the safe zone, chained to food controlling your life if you do nothing about them.
The same goes for wishes and dreams. You must actively DO something to make the desires of your heart come true.
I can't wait for you to listen in to the show, so that you can practice these 3 steps to conquer those nasty mean girl thoughts in your mind.
Feelings aren't forever sis!
In order to stop ED, you must prepare for BATTLE.
In case you need the reminder today, YOU are a mighty WARRIOR!
It's time to get in alignment with what you want, so that you can defeat the enemy and break the chains from the things no longer serving you.
Cheers to a new you! A better you :)

Hey GF!
Can you believe Turkey Day is right around the corner? I know right....me either.
Time surely does fly!
This past weekend our family enjoyed a harvest fest, spending time with friends & family, & prepping for the holiday week ahead.
As I sat to reflect & record the podcast, it hit me that the anxiety that I used to get days leading up to Thanksgiving was non-existent, & I knew I needed to share that hope with you today friend.
If you are anxious about the upcoming season of food & more food, followed by thoughts about food & triggers from family or the feeling of "being judged" by others because you will be surrounded by food, then you will enjoy today's show.
In Episode 94, I share 11 things that you can be thankful for when you just aren't "feeling it" this Thanksgiving. Some of these things may even surprise you! So make sure you get a journal & pen & jot them down to help you this week.
Plus, I'd be honored if you shared this one with someone you love that may struggle with disordered eating & could use a positive dose of inspo leading up to the holiday.
I am so very thankful for you friend!
& always remember...you are worthy. You are enough. You are creating the very BEST version of you...one day at at time.

Happy Thursday sister friend!
Are you tired of the never ending cycle of disordered eating? Are you sick of some days eating, other days restricting...tired of the shame, the guilt? Just tired of being tired?
You want to be happy, to live FREE. You want to get rid of the patterns of unhealthy coping when life gets hard.
You want to love who you are in your body...confident, empowered...happy!
In Episode 93 of the podcast, I talk about body image, challenging your body ideals, where to start when you want to change the way you see your body....& so much more.
The fact is that over time, society has programmed you to believe that you aren't good enough...that your body isn't good enough.
BUT when you know better, you can DO better!
Break the chains of how you feel about your body by exploring the intuitive exercise that I share with you in today's episode.
You won't want to miss this one girl! Tune in, & share it with a friend!

You have a choice today 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 92, 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!
