  • Hey sis,

    How has your week gone? I don't know about you but I am exhausted...yet not the same level of exhaustion that I use to operate at when I was stuck in the destructive cycle of an eating disorder. But I share this with you because maybe you have been trying to do everything "perfect" this season, yet you feel like you've failed. Sis, the cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted. It left me stuck in the messy middle of anorexia.

    ~

    Society will tell you to be thin, but not too thin. Be confident, but not overly confident. And be successful, but not too successful.

    If you're with me and you experience the pressure to be perfect, this is a perfect paradox and it is time to dump the impossible standards that are destroying your mental health, linked directly to eating disorder behaviors, and it's time to stand in your truth.

    In Episode 184, I share scientific research about the cost of perfection and what you can do about it as you step into the best you in the upcoming year.

    I'm so excited for your listen of today's show.

    I truly believe it's going to CHANGE the way you show up for yourself.

    xo,

    lindsey

  • Happy Tuesday sis!

    I hope you are enjoying the pre-Thanksgiving vibes & hopefully you are getting ready for turkey day! I am all over the place as I LOVE this time of year, but to be fair your girl needs more TIME in the next few days....so I'm playing one of the most favorite episodes on the Her Best Self Pod today. My hope is this will hit you right where you need it. I just know it will change the way you experience your holiday this week.

    ~

    Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through social media, feeling like everyone else has it all figured out? Like somehow you're the only one still struggling?

    Today, we're breaking down the science of comparison, perfectionism, and most importantly – the six research-backed strategies that can help you break free.

    The first step to self-acceptance is to STOP unhealthy comparison.

    As humans we are going to compare ourselves to others. It is in our nature to watch others. This is how we learn. But, if we look long enough, we will find someone who has done more, who has more & who seems to have it all together.

    In the eating disorder world, comparing your journey to someone else's does NOTHING but rob your TRUTH.

    In today's show, I discuss 6 strategies to help you stop the comparisonitis, so that you can start showing up & comparing you vs. you.

    You have so much to give to the world.

    When you are captivated with purpose, you won't be stuck in comparison.

    Do you need a break-up with social media, so you can experience a breakthrough in your recovery?!

    If so, this could be your saving grace.

    I am so happy to have you here!

    Here is your reminder today if you struggle with comparing yourself to others: "You are God's Masterpiece, & He has created you a new in Jesus, which He prepared in advance for you to do!" ~Ephesians 2:10

    Friend, stop keeping yourself from your best self. Stop looking around & start looking UP!

    If you enjoy this episode, let me know! & if you need more support reach out directly @[email protected] & ask for your complimentary consult following the submission of your client application.

    with love & purpose,lindsey

  • Happy Friday sister!

    We have arrived. Actually, I secretly wish I could sleep the day away because my bed is cozy & even though I do enjoy this time of year there is just SO MUCH To DO! Speaking of which, are you ready for turkey day? I will be showing up at my in-laws pies in hand & ready to enjoy all the holiday brings. However, this wasn't always the case for me. For a decade I spent my life dreading this holiday. I would legit fantasize about how I could get out of being around "all that food" & even around my family, who I thought was watching me with each bite. Are you feeling this way?

    You don't have to sit in this mess & let it become who you are and that be it.

    This is just a speed bump.

    This is just a blimp in your journey here.

    If you are a loved one of someone who struggles with an eating disorder and you are unsure of what to do next, you don't have to have it all figured out, but it is important to get as educated as possible so you can help support your person.

    In Episode 183, I'm going to be talking about boundaries & what to do when your family just doesn't understand.

    ~

    Boundaries are a better you, & in order to be the BEST version of you, you have to put some boundaries in place. It's so important.

    If you struggle with disordered eating, it's vital that you understand in some form or fashion that it affects and hurts every person close to you in your life. Yes, this is an isolating disease, but it echoes to everyone around you.

    It's like a domino. It just dominoes over & you can be in your own feels & you can think that it's not harming people that are in your circle.

    But if you don't have energy, you're snapping at your kids.

    If you don't have energy, you're nasty to your husband.

    If you aren't nourishing yourself or eating properly, you're not honoring yourself and therefore you're not giving your best version to everyone else.

    My goal today is that this helps you as you head into the holidays & that it encourages you to keep walking along your path to freedom.

    I believe in you sis!

    sending all the recovery hugs,

    lindsey

  • Hey there my sweet friend~

    As we enter into the last 43 days of the year, how do you want to finish? Like really...how do you want to end 2024? Sit on this one sis!

    You're going to finish strong.

    You are going to hit 2025 where it didn't even know it was being hit.

    But in order to do so -> What needs to go in your life? What needs to change and what needs to get the wave as you say goodbye to it?

    In Episode 182, I provide some strategies for you to get you thinking and planning in advance for your BEST year yet.

    ~

    To enter in to next year without bringing all the junk that you want to leave behind requires a present reality check. Which means you have to acknowledge the journey so far, and celebrate all the wins and all the progress that you've made this year, even if to you that feels like not a lot.

    So many times I'm talking to clients and ladies and they're telling me that they feel like they're behind or they should be further along or they haven't yet arrived and they're mucking through this journey day after day after day in the mundane and feeling like they're not moving forward.

    It's so important that you celebrate those small wins. Maybe you're not where you want to be YET. But I want you to honor the struggle and the challenges. And I want you to celebrate what has changed because there is good underneath it all if you search for it :)

    I encourage you to give this one a listen and share it with someone you love!

    Plus, I'd be honored to be YOUR recovery coach. If you are looking to partner with someone who has been there and done that, go on out to the website: www.herbestself.co and fill out a client application BEFORE the new year!

    sending recovery hugs,

    lindsey

  • Hey GF!

    Can you believe Turkey Day is right around the corner? I know right....me either.

    Time surely does fly!

    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 181.5, 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 as you navigate the upcoming holidays.

    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 this season.

    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.

  • Have you ever wondered what life would be like on the other side of your eating disorder? Not just surviving, sis, but truly living? Stay with me because today's podcast episode might just change everything for you. I want to welcome you back, friend, because Episode 181 is different & it's incredibly special to my heart.

    I'm speaking directly to you if you feel trapped by your eating disorder, especially if the thought of recovery feels overwhelming. I see you friend, I hear you, & most importantly, I have something transformative to share with you. Let me paint a picture that might feel familiar...

    You wake up thinking about food, your days are consumed by rules & restrictions.

    You're exhausted from fighting your body & just trying to survive this thing called life. & deep down, you dream of this freedom, but the thought of getting there...uhm...Do I know this place intimately, because I have lived there. & today I want to share something that could be your first step toward real freedom.

    Here's what I've discovered after working with hundreds of women in recovery. The reason most people stay stuck isn't lack of desire for freedom. It's not even lack of information. It's something much deeper. It's something that traditional treatment often misses completely. I've learned that it's in the transformation, it's the belief, it's in the not yet readiness that we actually find our place & that we heal.

    I can't put one word on it, like I can't give it this miraculous transformational word because it's a feeling that is just a feeling, it doesn't exist in terms of a word. When you feel empowered, when your soul feels awakened, & when your life is changed...truly changed because you've conquered your own mind & your own self.

    There is nothing like that.

    A feeling of inspiration, a feeling of liberation. & this revelation led me to create something super special for you. So today's mini pod episode is to introduce the masterclass that I'm doing tomorrow, November 13th at 2 p. m. Eastern, & it is not too late for you to join us. Can't wait to see you sis!

  •  Hey sis!

    I am so excited to drop a brand new episode on the Her Best Self podcast!

    If you struggle with overthinking and constantly overanalyzing your choices along with your decision making, & you just wonder if you will ever escape the nonsense...then today I want you to listen in to Episode 180.

    It is so important when you're looking for certainty in life in the moment, you start with how you're making your own personal decisions and that goes for recovery, but also just for every other thing in your current circumstances.

    You are making a ton of decisions on the daily and you can sit in analysis paralysis if you aren't aware. You can sit in self sabotage & you can sit in perfection.

    & so if you've questioned, "what do I need to eat next? when can I eat next? what can I have next?" & you're struggling with that in your mind regularly...part of this is just a tactic that the eating disorder is doing to get you confused & caught off guard.

    But I'm going to help you make better decisions today. Tune in to Episode 180 to learn what the 51% rule is & share it with a friend!

    xo,

  • How is your Tuesday going sis?!

    I am over here squealing because we are so close to the upcoming masterclass. If you have no idea what I am talking about, just register! You are going to want to hang out with us on November the 13th. If you are searching for freedom, if you feel like recovery just isn't possible right now for you and your life and the season of life that you're in, I want to encourage you to go out and register for the masterclass.

    It's completely free and you can hang out with me and a bunch of amazing ladies who are going to be joining us as well. Click this link & you are all set! www.herbestself.co/masterclass

    ~

    Okay, let's switch gears!

    Today on the podcast, we're talking about rejection because your girl has had a life experience of rejection. And if you have been chasing perfectionism. Then you actually have been trying to prevent rejection in your own life.

    You see perfectionism is rejection prevention. It's the way that our brain and our mind tries to avoid the pain and the emotional trauma of feeling the "not enoughness". And the eating disorder that you may have developed over time, it offers this illusion of protection and it gives you that false comfort.

    In Episode 179, I want to talk about my rejection story and some of the examples of rejection in my life. I'm going to share a special story with you, with hopes that you will meet me there and hopes that you will find yourself in this place. Because the truth is that if we can look at our rejection story, we can create it into our redemption story.

    Recovery will be your biggest transformation.

    You can use the pain over all the years of your rejection to elevate you and to give you power as you move forward and embrace the imperfect mess that you are.

    I so believe you are enough! You don't need to fear rejection any more!

    You totes got this!

  • Happy Friday! And not just any Friday, but here in the states, it's POST Halloween Friday, which simply means kids are high on sugar & mom's are running on fumes!

    But enough of the Halloween scaries, in Episode 178.5 of the podcast I wanted to bring back a message that is one of my all time favs! This one is going to light a fire under you today girl & have you showing up VICTORIOUS as you crush your day and head into the weekend.

    ~

    A victim is a person who is deceived or cheated by their own emotions.

    A victor is a person who defeats an enemy, opponent & conquers the very struggle set out to destroy them.

    Are you a victim or a victor?

    Sis, you are not the victim of your current life & circumstances. You are a product of your choices. & yes, maybe some of those choices weren't the best....but if choices got you here, choices can get you out!

    In Episode 178.5, I share the power of CHOICE. Your choice! & I discuss 6 choices you can make right now to move you from Victim to Victor.

    The truth is, you deserve to live life FREE from the chains of disordered eating. You deserve to be present with the people you love & to experience more of the places you enjoy. You see, just because you aren't their yet...is more proof that now is the very best time!

    Victors see challenges as opportunities -> Victims see challenges as evidence of a hard life.

    Victors look for hope -> Victims say stuck in fear.

    Victors plan for the future -> Victims worry about the future, constantly revisiting the past & never fully living in the present.

    Which are you sweet friend?

    I believe you are a mighty warrior & conqueror of this eating disorder. I believe it's possible for you!

    Tune in to the show & let's transform the way you do life.

    & don't forget to come register for the masterclass on November 13th!

  • It's Transformation season my girl!

    It's time to lean in & embrace the season of fall.

    Whether you are a pumpkin spice fanatic or a lover of cozy blankets, you should know that fall can be a reminder that seasons change & so can you!

    I mean, the trees literally show us how beautiful it is to LET THINGS GO.

    ~

    In Episode 178, I share a personal story of heartbreaking loss & grief. I share how I never thought I'd see my life out of the depression doldrums. & I also share what I learned, as well as helpful techniques that you can embrace right now as you move from loss to hope.

    Life can be hard. Recovery can be hard.

    But here is the good news sis, it can also be the most beautiful thing you EVER DO on this side of the clouds.

    ~

    I hope today's message bring you the courage to start fresh.

    The resilience to fight against the odds.

    The kindness & self-compassion needed as you change in this season.

    The wisdom to find the right direction.

    & the strength to keep moving forward.

    Your FUTURE self is waiting :)

  • Gosh the year is just flying, isn't it?

    Lately, I've been asked by women battling an unhealthy relationship with food & their body if recovery was worth it. Am I truly happy now? And I've seen so many women make the mistake of believing the lies. The lies that they will be miserable once they gain weight or that once they commit to putting their health first, they just won't like who they are.

    Many women I work with 1:1, actually come to me feeling like they are stuck in this never-ending cycle of an eating disorder & they just aren't sure they will ever escape from it. I feel that on so many levels. & I have sat with all of those same thoughts & beliefs.

    But I Recovered. & sis, so can you!

    Today's episode is a special one, because I wanted to share with you 8 reasons why my battle with anorexia was the BEST thing that happened FOR me in my life, in hopes it gives you some assurance & peace.

    Sister, sometimes the BEST thing & the WORST thing, can be the SAME thing!

    My eating disorder was the BEST, WORST thing that I have experienced, & I am truly grateful for the process of recovery.

    Robert Adams says, "There is only one decision you need to make: you are either working at your freedom or you are accepting your bondage."

    Stop staying chained where you are sweet friend! There is so much more to this thing called life.

    My question for you today is: What is your freedom worth to you?

    ~

    I hope today's show touches your soul & helps provide PROOF to you, that recovery is possible & that there is LIFE after an eating disorder. There is freedom available for you!

    I pray you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life.

    with love & hugs,

  • Happy Tuesday friend!

    I have the BEST news for you :)

    I just dropped a brand new episode on the pod today that you DO NOT want to miss.

    No but for realssss...go run (not walk) & listen to Episode 177 of the Her Best Self Podcast today, where I share with you the "Day Dare Method" & how you can create positive & lasting change in your life by simply "daring" yourself!

    ~

    Do you remember the game "truth or dare" from your childhood?

    Those were the days...

    Well even if you have zero idea what I'm talking about, I encourage you to listen in to how you can "dare" yourself daily to help get you out of "stuckness" into ACTION.

    In this episode, I discuss what a "day dare" is & how you conduct one of your own. I even provide examples for you to implement & share how you can continue to build on your day dares over time for momentum & progression as you heal from years of disordered eating behaviors.

    ~

    "You don't grow when things are easy sis, you grow when you face double-dog dares." (that one's from me!)

    ~

    Share this episode with someone you love. I triple-dog dare you!

    I hope it inspires you & encourages you to step out with courage, as you challenge yourself to uplevel to your very best self!

    Let's go!

  • This year is flying by! How is it going for you sis?

    The truth over here is we are one baseball weekend to the next & I am doing my best to keep up with both boys, while granting myself permission to rest at the same dang time.

    I'm sure you feel me.

    My biggest advice: snacks on snacks!

    This baseball mom must have all snacks on deck for survival in the busy season.

    But it wasn't always that way for me....you see, I use to avoid snacks. I would tell myself that I could snack but only instead of eating a real meal.

    Any extras seemed scary...& at that point in my life...unnecessary.

    What changed? Well, I knew if I wanted to get somewhere I hadn't gone, then I had to do something that I hadn't done. So I followed my dietician's advice, & I packed snacks with me every time I left the house, so that I would never be in the position to skip eating. I ate the snacks...& the real meal.

    & after years of recovering myself, I wanted to bring to you a podcast episode around what traits & I feel are the core characteristics of those who have recovered.

    Listen in to Episode 176.5, I hope this one blesses you today friend!

    hugs,

  • Happy Tuesday sis!

    Monday was a complete blur. And if I'm honest, I'm still catching up from the weekend & week before! How about you? Do you have those weeks where you feel like you have been thrown right into the next week, yet you are still trying to play "catch up" from all the "to-dos"?

    That is me lately! But I'm grateful to be popping into your inbox & ear, as I share a new podcast episode with you.

    In Episode 176, I discuss the concept of a True-up Tuesday! This is like a start of the week check-in with you to ensure you are aligning your goals with where you are headed as you press forward in the creation of your best self.

    I always find Tuesday check-ins to be better than Monday check-ins because... well, Monday has the blues & the shenanigans! There is a TON of pressure that Monday brings. Tuesday is just Tuesday!

    I mean think about the last time you missed a goal that you promised yourself you would start "next Monday". Then the day comes & goes & you feel like a failure (again) pushing it to the next week. But how about just starting over on Tuesday?! How about having a Tuesday true-up?

    In this episode, I provide a tangible reflection that you can work through to help you check your priorities & get working on your wants, dreams & desires no matter what day of the week!

    ~

    STOP believing the lie that being productive means being successful.

    Stop believing the lie that you have to DO more & BE more in order to find happiness & therefore BE worthy.

    Stop believing the lie that you have to please everyone else & get everything done perfectly in order to "arrive".

    ~

    You are allowed to heal & grow.

    You are allowed to forgive & grieve.

    You are allowed to love others while also learning to honor yourself & your body with adequate nourishment.

    You are allowed to have a crappy Monday & to start again on Tuesday without any judgement.

    ~

    Ask yourself this question:

    "What do I need to do LESS of this week, so that I can do MORE of the thing that is going to get me to freedom?"

    ~

    Put down that checklist & pick up your notebook for this one!

    I promise to leave you inspired, motivated & ready for whatever the rest of the week brings your way.

  • Hey girl HEYY!

    How is your Friday? I hope it is starting out oh soooo well!

    But to make it even better, I'd love for you to join me in another coaching over coffee episode on the HBS podcast today!

    If you are new here, I just wanted to hop into your inbox to say THANK YOU for listening to the Her Best Self Podcast! & if you are a veteran, I am so grateful that you trust in me week after week to bring you juicy, raw & real content that you can binge on to help support your relationship with food & your body.

    ~

    In Coaching over Coffee, Episode 175 I answer the question:

    "What Can I Do To Increase Portion Sizes & Up my Food Intake When I'm Just Not 'Feeling It'?"

    ~

    Here is a hint, (but I encourage you to listen to the full episode still):

    If you find yourself here, this is typically because you have a deep routed fear that if you increase food, you will gain weight. I mean, what if you don't know how to stop eating?

    Gosh, have I been there!

    What you are experiencing, I have also experienced. This comes from ED & the only way around it is to shift your perspective & begin to accept that maybe your body just isn't supposed to be controlled, forced or manipulated into a size.

    When you live life from a place of restriction...you believe you aren't allowed to have something, you shame yourself & you go against what it is you actually want....CONTROL, PEACE & FREEDOM.

    Body Acceptance is Key! But increasing your food gradually is also very helpful!

    ~

    You can learn to embrace nourishment & to honor your body in all that it DOES for you!

    If you are looking for practical tips to help you with reframing your thoughts around food intake, then today's show is perfect for you.

    I hope this episode gives you more permission to do the next right thing!

    I believe in you :)

    ~

    Listen in to this one & don't forget to come share your thoughts & feedback with us in our private facebook community!

    & if you have a question you'd like to have answered on the pod, you can shoot me an email directly at [email protected].

  • Oh hey sis!

    A new day awaits us!

    & I cannot wait to share with you one of my most favorite songs: "You Say" by Lauren Daigle.

    If you do nothing else today, listen to this song as you clean the kitchen, go for a walk, or relax in child's pose.

    Speaking of yoga...I was doing my usual downward dogging, when this hit my playlist & brought me so many feels. I just knew I must share the lyrics with you!

    ~

    I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enoughEvery single lie that tells me I will never measure upAm I more than just the sum of every high and every lowRemind me once again just who I am because I need to knowOoh-ohYou say I am loved when I can't feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakAnd you say I am held when I am falling shortAnd when I don't belong, oh You say I am YoursAnd I believe Oh, I believe What You say of me I believe...

    ~

    This song inspired me to record Episode 174, where I share with you truths of finding self worth within you & moving from a false sense of self to your absolute BEST self!

    I walk you through a mindfulness technique to ground you & encourage you.

    + if you struggle with never feeling good enough, or as if you are constantly failing, today's show will bring you peace & guide you forward to embrace self-compassion, so that you start showing up differently, while believing you deserve more for your life.

    Here is the real honest fact: You do deserve more!

    ~

    Sis, when you challenge & change what is inside of you, things actually change around you.

    You are worth fighting for.

    You are worth loving.

    There is a radical need for your uniqueness in this world.

    I believe in you!

  • Hey girl!

    I hope you are rolling into Friday with fire under you as you fight the good fight of navigating freedom from disordered eating.

    Reality -> breaking free from controlling thoughts & behaviors is tough! & the fact that you are hanging in there is proof that freedom from this CAN & WILL happen in your life.

    In today's episode, I discuss the 4 "P's" that are pivotal in your recovery journey, & perfection is NOT one of them!

    You see, maybe you don't have the full & complete roadmap to recovery "just yet", but with these 4 critical elements you will be that much closer to finding the freedom you so desperately deserve.

    I believe, the biggest lie about your purpose is that you find it. You don't FIND purpose, you CHOOSE purpose. Sister, you were created for a PURPOSE. Stop spending one more day at war with yourself & your body, so that you can leap into the freedom of your future....leaving ED behind once & for all!

    ~

    "To persist, you must treasure the dream more than any amount of cost that you will sacrifice in order to obtain it." ~Richelle Goodrich

    ~

    I hope today's show touches your soul & uplifts you as you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life.

    with love & hugs,

    lindsey

  • Hello there friend!

    Happy OCTOBER 1st!

    Ahhh how the season is changing here in Virginia! The leaves are starting to fall along with other things...lol, which brings me to my first question...

    Have you ever been hit upside the head by an acorn?

    I sure hope not! It's not the most pleasant experience - haha.

    This happened to me on my morning walk today & it was if nature itself gave me a big "ah ha" breakthrough.

    You see, if I'm completely transparent with you, lately I've been coming up against some pretty big & terrifying changes in my life & business. & if I'm honest, I've been avoiding & procrastinating & getting tired of trusting the process.

    So much so, I've questioned if I'm even on the right path in the first place.

    Have you ever found yourself here? Questioning if the future you want is more than just a dream?

    The question I asked myself this morning while reflecting was:

    What does it actually mean to "trust the process"? I mean, does the process even know you are trusting it?

    ~

    The truth is our minds love FACTS, & therefore it can be really hard to release control & trust details of your life to the unknown...even if you believe that God has your back.

    In Episode 173, I share very real details of what I learned on my morning walk & what to do when you find yourself wanting to "trust the process", but you just...don't yet!

    ~

    The good news: seasons change sis....& so do you!

    ~

    I encourage you to listen in to today's show & allow yourself to be present in the moment as I share my story with you.

    I'm so honored for your listen of the podcast & hope you send this one to someone you love!

    + I would love for you to reply back here if you enjoy Episode 173!

    with recovery hugs,

    lindsey

  • Hey girl hey, can I get a TGIF!!!?

    Okay okay...I admit I'm so excited for the weekend because I get to rep my black & yellow (baseball mom era over here!) But I'm also very excited to bring you a new episode on the podcast today.

    If you are like me & most of the women I coach, you are highly successful in your life. But, recovering from years of unhealthy behaviors with food & awful thoughts about your body feels truly hard to overcome.

    What you need to know: core beliefs you've established since childhood are playing a big part in where you are right now & learning to shift these beliefs can literally break the chains that are holding you captive.

    In Episode 172, I share the 3 types of core beliefs, how they are fueling disordered eating behaviors & what you can do to transform these cycles.

    You DO NOT want to miss today's episode...

    I repeat...don't miss this one girl!

    ~

    I encourage you today to recognize how your beliefs are impacting your current reality.

    Keep going.

    Keep fighting.

    Don't give up.

    You got this!

  • Hi girl,

    I sure do hope that your week is off to a great start.

    But if it's not going the way that you had hoped, that is okay too...

    Maybe you just need some inspiration & nudge in the tush!

    You can choose today to BELIEVE that positive change is coming your way any minute.

    ~

    + I created Episode 171 of the podcast to help reframe your thinking & your BELIEF to get you on the right track.

    In today's episode, I discuss 6 steps that you can take to create more BELIEF in your life, so that you can truly lean into recovery freedom.

    ~

    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....oh how I was so 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 my own personal lack of BELIEF.

    The only way out girl, was through. & the same goes for you. But the good news is, if you are constantly feeling doubtful & discouraged...you can take steps today to start feeling more motivated & hopeful. The same steps I took as I crawled myself out of the deep dark hole I found myself in with anorexia.

    ~

    Listen in to discover the 6 steps to help create more BELIEF in your life, so that you can start living the very best version of YOU! You won't want to miss this one!
