EP 254:🖤Black Friday Special🖤~ Finding Gratitude in ED Recovery (Even When It's Hard) + The 3 Things I'm Most Thankful for Right Now

Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Hey girlfriend, happy day after Thanksgiving.

Maybe yesterday was really hard for you. Maybe you broke a boundary. Maybe you're beating yourself up right now. Maybe you barely survived Thanksgiving dinner and you're exhausted.

You made it through. You're here. And today, we're going to talk about gratitude anyway.

In this special mini episode, host Lindsey Nichol gets vulnerable about a season when she couldn't feel grateful for anything - when she was so trapped in her eating disorder that gratitude felt impossible. She shares what she's genuinely, deeply thankful for this season, and invites you to find your own gratitude too - even in the mess, even in the middle of the struggle.

Because here's the truth: Gratitude doesn't require perfection. It doesn't require having it all together. It doesn't require that yesterday went well.

Gratitude just requires being willing to look for the light, even in the hard.

Plus: A special Black Friday opportunity to invest in yourself and your recovery (because the best investment you'll ever make is in your own healing).

This is a quick dose of hope, vulnerability, and possibility for the day after Thanksgiving. You survived yesterday. Now let's find the gratitude together.

In This Mini Episode, You'll Hear:

If Yesterday Was Hard

  • Maybe you broke a boundary at Thanksgiving dinner
  • Maybe you're beating yourself up today
  • Maybe you barely survived and you're exhausted
  • You made it through - and that matters
  • Today we're talking about gratitude anyway

When Gratitude Felt Impossible

  • Lindsey's vulnerable truth: there was a season she couldn't FEEL gratitude
  • Not that she wasn't grateful - she literally couldn't access the feeling
  • Trapped in the eating disorder, consumed, numb, disconnected
  • Sitting at Thanksgiving tables saying generic things but not feeling it
  • Just surviving, just getting through, counting and calculating
  • If that's where you are today - Lindsey sees you, she's been you
  • Recovery gave her gratitude back - the ability to not just say it but FEEL it
  • That's possible for you too

What Lindsey Is Thankful For This Season:

#1: Her Clients and Listeners (YOU)

  • This community of women fighting for their freedom
