If you've been struggling with feeling like you're not good enough, constantly falling short, or carrying the weight of perfectionism on your shoulders, this episode is your gentle reminder that you are already enough. Host Lindsey Nichol shares a heartfelt message about breaking free from the shame cycle that keeps us trapped in eating disorder patterns and perfectionist thinking.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why the "never enough" feeling is a common trap in eating disorder recovery
• How to identify where your perfectionist beliefs originated
• The difference between feelings and facts when it comes to self-worth
• Why getting thinner will never make you feel "enough"
• Practical steps to challenge your "not enough" beliefs
• How to find evidence of your inherent worth

Key Takeaways:

✨ You don't need to weigh yourself to determine your worth
✨ Feelings aren't facts - the fact is you are enough
✨ You can't hate yourself into a version you'll love
✨ Stop trying to be enough - you already are

Action Steps:

1. Dig into the why: When did you first start feeling "not enough"?
2. Label the evidence: What data proves you ARE enough?
3. Define enough: What would "enough" actually look like in your life?
4. Challenge the belief: Is perfectionism actually helping you?
