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.

    EP 215.5: The 5 Biggest Pitfalls Sabotaging Your Eating Disorder Recovery (& How to Overcome Them) **Must Listen Fav!**
    May 13 2025

    Sister,

    I literally cannot wait to share with you the 5 "D's"....

    What am I talking about?

    The 5 "D's" are what I believe are the BIGGEST challenges you will ever face as you navigate freedom from food & that 'crazy thinking' controlling your every day.

    ~

    In today's replay, I discuss these 5 pitfalls, so that you can recognize where you may be stuck in them...not to shame game you, but to push you to overcome!

    Let's rewind for a minute as I take you back to my own struggle with disordered eating...

    I was lost. Exhausted. Constantly thinking about what I could eat next & when I could eat it. I was miserable. & I spent years in the same wonky cycle trying to convince myself that everything was fine & I was fine....I was far from fine.

    Fast Forward to my "ah-ha"....I hated life & I craved a better way. But in the process of creating more for myself I came across these 5 biggest challenges.

    The only way out girl, was through. & the same goes for you. But the good news is, if you are in the "doldrums" right now, maybe not sure where to turn to next because your mind is constantly filled with thoughts around food & your body, then today's podcast episode will speak straight to your soul.

    But before you go listen, here is a quote to help you hold on to hope today:

    "Remember not to dig up in doubt what you planted in faith." You deserve more sis!

    ~

    Ready to escape the 5 biggest challenges? Don't worry girl, I got you!

    Listen in to discover what these 5 pitfalls are & let me show you the way out to find the true & real you...the BEST you yet!

  • EP 215: Why BMI is Total BS! The Scientific Truth About Body Mass Index & Numbers + How to Measure True Health📍

    EP 215: Why BMI is Total BS! The Scientific Truth About Body Mass Index & Numbers + How to Measure True Health📍
    May 9 2025

    In this powerful episode of Her Best SELF podcast, we dismantle the widely misused BMI scale and reveal why this outdated measurement has no place in your recovery journey. Learn the problematic origins of BMI, the scientific evidence against its validity, and discover more meaningful ways to understand health and healing while navigating eating disorder recovery.

    What You'll Learn:

    • The surprising origin story of BMI (it wasn't created by health professionals!)
    • Scientific studies proving BMI is an inaccurate measure of individual health
    • Why BMI disproportionately harms certain populations and body types
    • Better alternatives for understanding your body's health during recovery
    • Practical tips for responding when healthcare providers focus on BMI
    • How releasing attachment to numbers supports lasting recovery

    Research Mentioned:

    • International Journal of Obesity study on metabolic health markers
    • Journal of the American Medical Association research on BMI and mortality rates
    • University of Pennsylvania research on ethnic differences in body composition

    Quotes from the Episode: "Your body is not a math problem to be solved. Your worth is not determined by where you fall on a chart created for 19th-century population statistics."

    "True health is about how your body functions, not how you measure against an arbitrary mathematical formula."

    Recovery Action Step: The next time someone tries to reduce your health to a BMI number, remember the science backing why this measurement is fundamentally flawed. Practice responding with confidence about your commitment to more meaningful health markers in your recovery.

    I hope you enjoy today's show!

    EP 214.5: Some Rules are Meant to be Broken ~ Food Rules, Diet Rules, Bargaining NO MORE! Here is the Path to True Recovery & Freedom
    May 6 2025

    Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Well behaved women rarely make history".

    Sis, it's time you make history!

    It's time to lay down those nagging thoughts about food that are controlling your life once & for all.

    In today’s of the podcast, I share with you many of the food rules I struggled with in my own personal path to freedom. I share how you can identify the rules no longer serving you that are keeping you stuck. & I discuss how you can introduce food exposures to challenge your current rules living you trapped.

    ~

    Each time you make a new scary choice to go agaisnt one of your food rules, your brain becomes less terrified & more accepting. This is HUGE in recovery!

    Rules are meant to keep us safe, but disordered rules actually generate harm.

    You are meant for MORE.

    You are meant to live a life without chains of food rules.

    Let me show you the way!

    ~

    Ready to break those rules? share today's episode with someone you love!

    & remember that you are made for a life FREE from the chains of disordered eating.

    xo,
