Happy Episode 20! I am pinching myself that I've already helped THOUSANDS of women across the planet with the Her Best Self podcast! It's only been a few short months ladies! It's been such an honor & privilege to hear from so many of you about how this show & coaching with me has truly impacted your life.

In today's episode, I'm tackling head on the feeling so many of you face when it comes to unhealthy food behaviors. The feeling of not being "sick enough" to seek out support. 

In the month of love, it's important that you begin to unpack how you can better LOVE YOU! In doing so, maybe that means to accept right where you are! Maybe, that is embracing the fact that you don't feel like you have an eating disorder or unhealthy food relationship because you wouldn't classify yourself as "thin" or "sick enough". This lie is just another one that your mind is trying to get you to believe to stay trapped in negative thoughts & patterns leaving you stuck, alone & miserable.

& while, I won't be diagnosing you on today's episode (because that certainly isn't my place), I will speak truth & FACTS to you! 

According to anad.org & beateatingdisorders.com:

- Less than 6% of those struggling with Eating Disorders are actually underweight

- 75% of those with disorders don't seek help

- Every HOUR someone dies of an Eating Disorder

- 1 in 2 people with Eating Disorder behaviors feel like they don't deserve help

- Early intervention & support reduces the chance of relapse by 50%

***

Eating Disorders don't discriminate! If you constantly feel like food is the enemy, then listen to today's episode to learn 3 tips to take action on in order to find peace & clarity for your life.

I hope that this episode blesses you. If you love today's show, let me know! Send an email over to me & join our free group on FB! You can find us at the link below. 

& if you need more support, or you are looking for a food freedom battleplan... I got you sis! Reach out to me at info@lindseynichol.com & let's get you on the schedule for 2023 1:1 recovery coaching. I can help you heal your food & body relationship, so that you can start thriving versus simply surviving!

with love & purpose,

lindsey
