    EP 221: Present Over Perfect ~ How Food Obsession Steals Your Life (& 4 Strategies to Get It Back)
    Jun 6 2025
    In this powerful episode, Lindsey explores how eating disorders and food obsession act as "time thieves" and "energy vampires," stealing your presence from the moments and people that matter most. She shares the life-changing realization that when we don't sacrifice for what we ultimately want, we become the ultimate sacrifice - and our relationships pay the price. Key Takeaways 🎯 The Real Cost of Food Obsession Eating disorders aren't just about food - they're mental energy drains that steal your presence from your own lifeThe constant mental chatter about food planning, guilt, and rules exhausts you before your day even beginsYour pursuit of food perfection is sacrificing your ability to be fully present with the people you love 💡 The Sacrifice Revelation "If you don't sacrifice for what you ultimately want, then you become the ultimate sacrifice." What you ultimately want: Connection, presence, energy for what matters, peace of mindWhat's actually being sacrificed: Time with your spouse, conversations with your kids, your ability to be fully present in your own life 🔄 The Present Over Perfect Shift Your family doesn't need a perfect you - they need a present you. Stop waiting to be worthy of love when you "figure out" the food thing. You're worth loving right now, struggles and all. 4 Practical Strategies to Reclaim Your Presence Strategy #1: The 3-Second Check-In Throughout your day, pause and ask: "Where is my mind right now?"If caught in food thoughts during important moments, simply notice without judgmentAsk: "What would it look like to be fully here right now?" Strategy #2: The Energy Audit Track for one day how often you catch yourself in food-related thoughtsMake a mark on your phone each time you're planning, worrying, calculating, or obsessing about foodCount them at day's end - this is how much life force is being redirected from what matters Strategy #3: The Presence Practice Choose one meal/snack daily to eat with complete presencePut phone away, don't plan next meal, ignore calorie countingFocus on taste, texture, satisfaction - practice being fully there Strategy #4: The Connection Redirect When spiraling into food thoughts, immediately reach out to someone you loveText your teenager, call your spouse, hug your petRedirect mental energy toward connection instead of obsession Real-Life Application: The Dinner Table Revolution Make dinner time device-free AND food-rule-free for your mind: No mental calorie counting or meal planning during family timeAsk about everyone's day and really listenShare something about your day unrelated to foodPractice being completely present with your family This Week's Homework Choose one person in your life and commit to being fully present with them for at least 10 minutes every day: Morning coffee with your spouseAfter-school time with your childPhone call with a friend or family memberNo phone, no food thoughts, no mental planning - just you, fully there Episode Quotes "Every moment you spend obsessing about food is a moment you're not fully living your life." "Your kids don't need a perfect mom. Your spouse doesn't need a perfect partner. They need YOU. Present, engaged, fully there YOU." "You are not your thoughts about food. You are a woman with purpose, with love to give, with a life that's happening right now."

  • EP 220: The #1 Phrase That is Toxic to Your Best Self + The Decision-Making Framework That Actually Works

    EP 220: The #1 Phrase That is Toxic to Your Best Self + The Decision-Making Framework That Actually Works
    Jun 3 2025
    Are you stuck in the cycle of starting and stopping recovery? Always "trying" but never fully committing? In this game-changing episode, Lindsey reveals how one simple phrase is sabotaging your progress and keeping you trapped in what she calls "decision defaulting." Learn the neuroscience behind why "I'm trying" programs your brain for failure, and discover the powerful mindset shift that transforms chronic restarters into recovery success stories. If you're tired of living in the "maybe someday" space and ready to make decisions that stick, this episode will revolutionize your approach to healing. What You'll Learn in This Episode The psychology behind "decision defaulting" and why your brain prefers itHow the phrase "I'm trying" creates neural pathways for partial commitmentThe difference between illusion of control vs. real personal powerSpecific language shifts that activate "implementation intention"Why your eating disorder wants you to stay in "trying" modeA concrete challenge to break the decision defaulting cycle this weekHow to know when you're ready for professional support vs. continued self-help Key Moments & Timestamps Opening CTA for Consultation (0:30-2:00) Lindsey speaks directly to chronic restarters and those hesitant to start recovery What is Decision Defaulting? (2:00-5:00) "'Trying' is just a socially acceptable way of avoiding responsibility for your choices." Client Story: Emma's 3-Year Trying Cycle (3:30-4:30) How one client's language shift changed everything in recovery The Neuroscience of Decision Defaulting (5:00-8:30) Why undernourished brains default to tentative language and how trauma responses play a role From Trying to Deciding: The Power Shift (8:30-12:00) Specific examples of language that creates commitment vs. escape routes Your Decision-Making Challenge (12:00-14:00) Two concrete options to practice decisive action this week Powerful Quotes from This Episode On Decision Defaulting: "Decision defaulting is when you avoid making definitive choices because not deciding feels safer than deciding 'wrong.'" On the Trying Trap: "When you say 'I'm trying,' you're leaving yourself an escape route. You're keeping one foot out the door. You're protecting yourself from the vulnerability of full commitment." On Neural Pathways: "Every time you make a definitive choice and follow through, you strengthen the neural pathways associated with self-efficacy and personal agency. Every time you default on a decision, you reinforce the pathways associated with helplessness." On Eating Disorder Strategy: "Your eating disorder wants you to keep 'trying.' It wants you to stay in that wishy-washy space where you're sort of committed but not really. Because as long as you're just trying, you're not a real threat to its control over your life." On Real Power: "The power isn't in making perfect decisions. The power is in making decisions and sticking with them long enough to see what happens." Language Shifts That Change Everything Instead of: "I'm trying to eat regular meals" Decide: "I'm deciding to eat breakfast at 8am, lunch at 1pm, and dinner at 6pm, regardless of how I feel about it" Instead of: "I'm trying to be less active" Decide: "I'm deciding to take three complete rest days this week and limit exercise to 30 minutes on active days" Instead of: "I'm trying to stop weighing myself" Decide: "I'm deciding to remove the scale from my house and ask my roommate to hide it" Instead of: "I'm thinking about getting help" Decide: "I'm deciding to schedule consultation calls with three recovery coaches this week" This Week's Decision Challenge Option 1: The Immediate Action Decision Choose ONE thing you've been "trying" to do in recovery and make a definitive decision about it today. Write it down: "I am deciding to _______." Take one concrete action within 24 hours. Option 2: The Support Decision If you've been "thinking about" getting help, either decide you're going to take action and schedule consultations or decide you're not ready and stop the maybe-someday torture. Scientific Research Referenced Dr. Carol Dweck's studies on language and behavior creating neural pathwaysDr. Peter Gollwitzer's research on implementation intentions (2-3x more likely to follow through)Dr. Kristin Neff's research on self-compassion and decision-making fear Ready to Stop Decision Defaulting?

    EP 219: The Body Story That's Keeping You Trapped with Poor Body Image (+ How to Change It & Write Your Next Chapter!)
    May 30 2025
    In this episode, Lindsey speaks directly to the exhausted high-achieving woman, who's spent decades restricting food and over-exercising while trying to lead in every area of life. Drawing from her personal recovery from anorexia and years of coaching experience, Lindsey helps you understand how your "body story" - those deep-rooted messages about what your body should look like and what it means about your worth - was written by diet culture, not by you. Learn how to identify the costly messages you've been carrying and discover a framework for rewriting your relationship with your body from shame to self-compassion. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to identify the specific cultural messages that shaped your relationship with your bodyThe hidden costs of carrying shame-based body stories (energy, presence, relationships, dreams)Why your body became a "project to control" rather than a "home to inhabit"The difference between health and size (and why conflating them keeps you trapped)A practical framework for rewriting your body story starting this weekSpecific daily practices to shift from body criticism to body appreciation Key Moments & Timestamps Opening (0:30-2:00) Lindsey speaks directly to exhausted high-achievers ready to break the restrict-exercise cycle The Body Story Begins (2:00-5:00) "When did you first learn that your body was a problem to be solved? You didn't start out hating your body. You learned to." Cultural Messages That Shaped You (5:00-8:00) "Good girls don't take up too much space""Your body is your responsibility to control""Thin equals healthy, healthy equals worthy""Successful women have it all together, including their bodies" The True Cost of Body Shame (8:00-10:30) What carrying these stories has cost you in energy, presence, authentic self, health, relationships, and dreams Rewriting Your New Story (10:30-13:30) "Your body is not a problem to be solved. It's a miracle to be appreciated." Powerful Quotes from This Episode On Learning Body Shame: "You didn't start out hating your body. You learned to. You learned from a culture that profits from your insecurity." On the Prison of Control: "That same control that felt like freedom was actually building your prison, brick by brick, year by year." On Exhaustion: "You're successful in every other area of your life. You lead teams, you manage budgets, you solve complex problems... But when it comes to your body, you still feel like that confused young girl who learned that her worth was tied to her weight." On True Health: "True health includes your mental well-being, your energy levels, your ability to do the things you love, your hormonal balance, your sleep quality, your stress management. None of these things require you to be a certain weight or size." On Taking Up Space: "As a leader, as a woman, as a human being - you are allowed to have needs, to have desires, to exist fully in your body without apologizing for it." This Week's Body Story Rewrite Actions Morning Body Appreciation: Thank your body for something it did for you yesterday instead of immediately focusing on what you don't likeIntuitive Nourishment: Ask "What would feel good and nourishing right now?" instead of "What should I eat according to my rules?"Joyful Movement: Choose movement based on how you want to feel, not calories you want to burnCompassionate Self-Talk: When you catch body criticism, ask "Would I talk to my best friend this way?" Your New Body Story Framework Old Story: "My body is a problem to be solved through restriction and exercise" New Story: "My body is a miracle to be appreciated and cared for with compassion" Old Story: "My worth depends on my size and what I eat" New Story: "My worth exists because I exist - my body is the vehicle for my life, not the determiner of my value" Old Story: "I must control my body to be successful" New Story: "I honor my body's wisdom and treat it as I would treat a dear friend's body" Ready for Personalized Support?

  • EP 218: Recovery Is Like a Roller Coaster ~ Why the Scary Parts Actually Mean You’re on the Right Track 🎢

    EP 218: Recovery Is Like a Roller Coaster ~ Why the Scary Parts Actually Mean You’re on the Right Track 🎢
    May 27 2025
    In this powerful episode, Lindsey shares a weekend experience with her son that completely reframes what recovery success looks like. Using the analogy of a terrifying roller coaster ride, she challenges the myth that recovery should feel comfortable and reveals why the hardest moments might actually be where the most important healing happens. If you've been beating yourself up because parts of recovery still feel impossible, or if you're waiting for healing to feel "good" before you fully commit, this episode will shift your entire perspective on courage, progress, and what it truly means to succeed in recovery. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why recovery doesn't have to feel good to be working effectivelyHow to redefine recovery success beyond comfort and easeThe difference between courage and confidence (and why courage is enough)Why the struggle IS the work, not a sign that you're failingPractical ways to honor your bravery even when recovery feels terrifyingHow to stay committed to healing when every instinct tells you to quit Key Takeaways & Quotes On Recovery Not Feeling Good (4:30) "You don't have to enjoy recovery for it to be changing your life... What if the victory isn't in loving the process, but in staying on the ride anyway?" On Redefining Success (8:45) "Every time you eat when your eating disorder says restrict - that's courage, even if it feels awful. Every time you choose rest over compulsive exercise - that's strength, even if your anxiety is through the roof." On Courage vs. Comfort (10:15) "Recovery success isn't never having eating disorder thoughts again. It's learning to recognize those thoughts and choosing not to act on them, even when they're loud and persistent." On The Hardest Moments (11:30) "When you're struggling the most, when recovery feels impossible, when every instinct is telling you to go back to your eating disorder - that's when you're doing the deepest healing work." This Week's Recovery Challenge Find one moment this week where you chose recovery despite it feeling hard. Instead of minimizing that moment or focusing on how uncomfortable it felt, say out loud: "I am proud of myself for doing that hard thing." Remember: You don't have to love recovery to be succeeding at it. You just have to keep showing up. Real Talk Recovery Reminders The struggle isn't a sign that recovery isn't working - the struggle IS the workYou can be proud of your courage even when recovery doesn't feel goodDiscomfort doesn't equal danger - it often equals growthYour difficult recovery experience doesn't mean you're doing it wrongBuilding emotional strength happens in the uncomfortable moments Ready for support on your recovery roller coaster? If you're tired of navigating recovery alone and want someone to remind you of your strength when you can't see it yourself, Lindsey's one-on-one coaching program is designed for women ready to redefine what recovery success looks like.

  • EP 217: From Ankle-Deep to ALL IN ~ The #1 Question to Ask Yourself to Find the Courage to Fully Commit to Your Recovery

    EP 217: From Ankle-Deep to ALL IN ~ The #1 Question to Ask Yourself to Find the Courage to Fully Commit to Your Recovery
    May 20 2025
    In this powerful episode of the Her Best Self podcast, Lindsey explores what it truly means to go ALL IN on your recovery journey. Inspired by a church sermon on faith, she unpacks the different levels of commitment in recovery—from ankle-deep hesitation to full blown surrender—and challenges you to identify where you're holding back. If you're tired of partial results and ready to experience true freedom from disordered eating, this episode offers both inspiration and practical next steps for going ALL IN on yourself and your healing. What You'll Learn The four levels of commitment in recovery: ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep, and ALL INHow staying in your comfort zone blocks your healing progressThe exhausting reality of wearing the "eating disorder mask" and the freedom that comes from removing itPractical examples of what going ALL IN looks like in everyday recoveryBiblical wisdom that supports full surrender in the recovery processOne tangible action step to move toward going ALL IN this week Highlights From This Episode On Partial Commitment (3:12) "Partial commitment yields partial results. To experience the full freedom that recovery offers, you have to go ALL IN. That means complete surrender. Complete trust. Complete willingness to feel ALL of your feelings without using food or exercise to numb them." On Getting Out of Your Own Way (5:45) "How often are YOU getting in the way of your own recovery? How often are you blocking your own healing because you're trying to control everything? Because you're not willing to trust the process? Because you're holding onto the false comfort of your eating disorder?" On Removing the Mask (8:30) "The eating disorder has pulled a mask over you - a false identity that you might have worn for years or even decades... Going ALL IN means pulling away that mask and saying, 'This is who I really am. This is what I'm really struggling with. This is what I really need.'" On Redirecting Energy (10:15) "When you go ALL IN on recovery, you get to redirect all that energy toward actually living your life. Toward your relationships, your passions, your purpose. Toward the woman God created you to be." Scripture Referenced Romans 12:2 – "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."Proverbs 3:5-6 – "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."Psalm 139:14 – "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Your Recovery Action Step Identify ONE area where you've been holding back in recovery, and take ONE step toward going ALL IN in that area this week. Write it down, share it with someone who will hold you accountable, and commit to taking that step even when it feels uncomfortable.

  • EP 216: When Healing Feels Messy & Impossible ~ Your Permission to Find Peace in the “Not Okay” Moments

    EP 216: When Healing Feels Messy & Impossible ~ Your Permission to Find Peace in the “Not Okay” Moments
    May 16 2025

    In this powerful episode of Her Best SELF podcast, Lindsey shares why the messy, difficult moments in eating disorder recovery aren't signs of failure—they're actually where the deepest healing happens. If you've been beating yourself up for struggling, if recovery feels impossibly hard, or if you're wondering why you're not "further along," this episode offers the permission and compassion you need to keep going.

    What You'll Discover:

    • Why the myth of "perfect recovery" sets us up for unnecessary shame
    • The three dimensions where it's normal to struggle: body, mind, and soul
    • How to distinguish between normal recovery challenges and actual setbacks
    • Practical tools for embracing difficult moments without giving up
    • Why self-compassion accelerates healing more than perfectionism ever could

    Featured Quotes: "Recovery isn't about becoming perfect. It's about reclaiming your voice in a world that tried to silence you with impossible standards." - Geneen Roth

    Key Moments:

    • [00:03:45] Lindsey shares a personal breakthrough moment from her anorexia recovery
    • [00:06:30] The science behind why recovery feels chaotic (and why that's normal!)
    • [00:09:15] Understanding the body, mind, and soul dimensions of healing
    • [00:12:00] Five practical strategies for embracing "not okay" moments
    • [00:14:00] How to know you're still making progress even when it doesn't feel like it

    Practical Tools Mentioned:

    • Creating a personal "comfort menu" for difficult moments
    • The "pause and breathe" technique for interrupting shame spirals
    • Documentation practices to recognize non-scale victories
    • Community-building strategies for authentic recovery support

    Listener Action Step: The next time you feel like you're failing at recovery because it feels so hard, place a hand on your heart and say: "This is really hard right now, and that's okay. I'm doing my best." Notice how giving yourself permission to struggle actually creates space for healing.

    Ready for personalized recovery support? Lindsey's Freedom Formula Experience offers 1:1 coaching designed to help you break free from food rules through healing body, mind, and soul. Limited spots available each month – learn more and apply at www.herbestself.co

    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!
