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 girl! Today, I'm sharing the REAL SCARY TRUTH of how terrifying Halloween & the holidays can be during disordered eating & eating disorder recovery. During my worst, Halloween candy & all the holiday treats gave me anxiety & pushed me back into disordered patterns multiple times. Many clients I work with find that this time of year is the hardest when navigating freedom from their eating disorder. The fear of weight gain is REAL. The binge/purge/restrict cycle is REAL. & the scariest thing is allowing yourself to have any treat at all when you have restricted yourself or viewed candy as "bad" for so very long.
But, there is HOPE! In today's show, I talk about 4 different tactics that you can leverage on Halloween or any holiday to keep you from going back to old patterns. I share with you 4 ways that helped me stay on track in my recovery journey while navigating the HARD holidays, when everything seemed to revolve around food.
My goal for this episode is that you will find peace in the day, & that you will allow yourself grace in the journey. If you are struggling with how to have a healthy balance with food & you are terrified of gaining weight, this episode will speak directly to your heart.
You don't have to be anxious or fearful during Halloween. Candy isn't the enemy sweet friend.
Listen in & let me know if this episode helped you in any way today!
with love & purpose,

Worth isn't found in the perfect weight! Who is here for today's message? I spent so many years of my life obsessing over the scale, that I missed the big picture & the TRUTH! No number on the scale was going to give me wholeness & happiness. If you struggle with always focusing on NUMBERS & you value what others think about you, then this episode is a must listen!
You are worth so much more than a number. You are valuable.
The eating disorder thoughts inside of your head will have you wanting to be invisible, but the reality is....you were made for great things! There is freedom from disordered eating & from constantly weighing yourself. Believe me, I was stuck in the cycle of punishing myself based on what the scale said. Now, I help women all around the world find their TRUE identity, found in purpose & passion. Found in hope, healing & their faith. The scale is not WHO you are.
Check out today's episode if you are tired of searching for the perfect number, only to realize that it will never be good enough, because you are already enough...JUST AS YOU ARE!

This one is a goodie y'all!
If you are wanting PEACE with food, what does that even mean? What does that look like...but for real?
Is it even attainable?
If you are searching for freedom from oppressive thoughts or emotions around food, this one if for you! I even talk about menu options & my personal strategy of the 5x5 that helped myself & now helps my clients navigate back to normal eating patterns.
Worried about gaining weight as you reintroduce foods into your daily plan? You can learn to eat intuitively & start right now by applying the tools in this episode to help you support a healthy structure of daily food that you feel comfortable with in the early days of eating normally.
Sometimes the best meal plan, isn't a meal plan at all....you heard me say it! Sometimes, the best meal plan is more like creating a SIMPLE and sustainable self-love & safety net for your daily food choices that doesn't seem overwhelming or too hard.
Bring your notebook & pen to this one girl! & don't forget to snag some of my favorite meals on my website: www.lindseynichol.com.

In this episode, we talk about 3 things that you can do RIGHT NOW to love your body & the skin you are in, even when you don't love your body. This one is somewhat deep & strategic!
The truth is....you don't have peace with your body because the core beliefs you base your "truths" on are based on a false reality. And if that isn't REAL enough for you, peace doesn't come from control. In fact, the opposite is true. Peace with your body, actually comes when you surrender the control you have over food & that false self.
There is something RIGHT NOW that you can admire & love about yourself. What can you be grateful for, that your body does for you?
What can you love about your body, even when you don't love your body?
