This one thing may come off as surprising, but hang on for this one. The one thing you absolutely MUST have to conquer your eating disorder—it's not what you think.

Are you constantly measuring yourself against where you think you "should" be in recovery? Always focused on how far you still have to go instead of how far you've come? You're living in "the gap"—and it's stealing your joy and progress.
Today I'm sharing one of my biggest...
Are you following "healthy" food rules religiously? Counting every macro? Never eating past 7pm? Walking exactly 10,000 steps? What if I told you these rules aren't keeping you healthy—they're actually keeping you sick?
Today I'm exposing the "Holy Food Rules Bible" we've ...

This quote rocked my world, and I have a feeling it's going to do the same for you. Because here's the truth: Every label you wear is actually a choice.

I'm about to tell you something that might sting: Nobody cares about your body. But stick with me, because that truth is going to set you free.
We spend SO much energy terrified of what people will think if we gain weight, if we eat normally, if we stop restricting. We're ...
Do you spend way too much time checking yourself in the mirror? Fixating on flaws that nobody else seems to notice? Canceling plans because you feel like you look "off" that day? You're not alone, and this isn't about vanity—this is about a real struggle that deserves understanding.
Today sis, let's time travel! I want to take you into the grocery store with me during my recovery. On this particular trip (actually most every trip to the store), I would stand in the peanut butter aisle...yes, for 20 minutes—staring at jars, reading labels, comparing calories. And I was exhausted with my own mess.
How much mental and emotional energy do you spend thinking about your weight? And here's the follow-up question: Is it worth it? Is all that energy actually improving your life, making you happier, or making you worth more?
Today I'm offering a completely different perspec...
Hey girl, welcome back to the Her Best Self Podcast. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and Lindsey is getting real with you about the truth behind eating disorders — the statistics that will stop you in your tracks, the signs that are easy to miss, and the hope that recovery is absolutely possible for you.
When people hear "eating disorder," they picture a young stick-figure girl in ballet class. But what I see every day? CEOs with anorexia. Lawyers binge eating in office bathrooms. Doctors struggling in silence with exercise compulsion. Corporate executives who haven't eaten lunch in six months because they're "too busy."
If you're ready for recovery but freeze when it comes time to actually invest in yourself and commit to the work—this episode is for you.
The real reason you're not taking action isn't because you don't want freedom. It's not because you can't afford it. It's not because y...
If your goal is to "recover from your eating disorder," what happens when you get there? Then what?
Here's the problem: When you set the goal to recover, you're setting a goal with a finish line. But recovery isn't a destination. It's a journey of BECOMING.
February is Eating Disorder Awareness Month. And if you're stuck in quasi-recovery, telling yourself "I'm fine," avoiding help because you're ashamed—this is your wake-up call.
I'm sharing 2026 statistics you haven't heard, alarming trends getting WORSE, and the truth abou...
The opposite of quitting is recommitting. And sometimes that means you need a spelled-out roadmap to help you define what steps you can take to recommit to recovery.
Today's episode is different. I'm not speaking in theoretical terms or giving advice I wouldn't follo...
I just turned 40 last month. And I don't know what shifts inside at midlife, but something changes when you hit this milestone. You start asking different questions:
"Is this it?" "Is this who I really am?" "Is this all there is for me?"
The cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted.
Be thin, but not too thin. Be confident but not overly confident. Be successful, but not too successful.
If you're with me and you experienc...
