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.

Thank you sis 🤓

Wow! I am so glad I found your podcast!! I’m 54, had a full blown ED (anorexiz w a couple of dips into billions) 18-20 and then an almost relapse (behaviors came back up yet my awareness was on so I could hep myself faster), and now recently was wondering if I was having another relapse. Long answer but big picture is your episode on adhd and ED has brought SUCH CLARITY and opportunity for self compassion with me. I was ready to go into black/white thinking of this must be ED again but learning how the two are related and feed off each other, allows me a place of compassion and a path forward on how to best support myself. I have a podcast also so know how much time putting great episode ls like yours out takes and I want you to know how grateful I am that you do and to let you know, you’ve made a big difference in my life. Thank you, thank you!! 🙏🏽🩵 Susie Pettit

Thank you for your authenticity and sharing on this topic that is often misunderstood!!!

I really appreciate Lindsey's authenticity and sharing of her experiences. Each episode provides me with things to think about and/or a golden nugget. It has continued to provide me hope and guidance through my recovery. I think EDs are extremely misunderstood in our society... but when I listen to this podcast I feel safe and at home (and know that I am not alone). BIG THANK YOU Lindsey!

Light of Hope

I have had an eating disorder for 29years. I see a therapist and have had multiple dietitians. I ebbed and flowed through recovery, but I never reached a level of success that I had hoped for. I was starting to give up that hope and settle for the cage that I have been trapped in for so many years. The promising light of being recovered was starting to dim. But then this light started to flicker as I started to listen to Lindsey’s podcast, someone whose story that was so similar to mine! And she is recovered! I wanted what she had! Early November, 2023 I made my first consultation with her. After meeting with her I knew she was the piece that I had been missing for a very vey long time. Now it’s mid January, 2024 I am at a place in my recovery where I have never been before. My light of hope is on fire! I see myself living life without limits, not only with food but with opportunities, goals, and dreams coming true! Lindsey because of your hard work and your recovery I get to experience such freedom! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If you are on the fence about having Lindsey as a coach…jump. You will have no regrets.

These podcasts are a blessing to me.

I prayed on April 28, 2023 and wrote in my prayer journey God please help. Shortly thereafter that morning i saw Lindsey’s podcast and started listening to them. Since then I am thankful to say Lindsey is my coach. I am thankful for each podcast and how they are encouraging and how she shares her on journey with ED. I have battled anorexia for years and recently had been bingeing and needed help. I am creating a new version of myself with Lindsey’s help. She has walked this road and honestly shares from her heart. I highly recommend the podcast. Darla McGuffee Reshared my original review and added to it! I am very thankful for Lindsey Nichol who is sharing her testimony and has walked this hard road and survived. This is a hard battle for me at my age and overcoming this eating disorder is very hard but I can do hard things with God and my coach Lindsey. She encourages me when I know she could shake me. Listens to me cry like today and I encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to her I promise you she is wonderful. Thank you Lindsey for all you do for me.

Real and Honest!

Lindsey provides practical, realistic tips and prompts listeners to reflect and apply strategies with genuine hope and encouragement. It is so helpful to hear from someone who has walked through the thick darkness of this disease. As the mom of a daughter battling anorexia, I found a safe haven with a wealth of information in this podcast! 💕
Let’s Unpack That w Alex&Grace

Truly a gem of a podcast!

SO GOOD! This podcast is FULL of gems - not just helpful, practical tips (about topics that are SO essential for thriving the way God designed us to), but also filled with hope and support from someone who’s “been through” the trenches herself. I LOVE Lindsey’s encouraging, helpful, and personal approach, as she shares from her real-life experiences and lessons she’s learned to now help others with those same struggles (that are so much more common than we think!).

Love this!

Love the thought of counting smiles, laughs, family and other blessings rather than counting calories. These truly are what really matters in life! This is so freeing! Thank you
KatieLoowho

Great listen to put into practice

Love this podcast! She has been through it and successfully made it to the other side of an eating disorder (ED). She continually provides thought provoking content for you to consider and shares resources for recovery. For anyone that thinks they might have an ED just give a listen, your life is made for so much for than being obsessed with food and body. Please know you are not alone.

A breath of fresh air in the “diet culture” world!

Lindsey is positive, encouraging, and I leave every episode with at least one takeaway. Her episode on “being too busy” was a gentle and ACCURATE wake-up call. Looking forward to more!
