  • Yes to wintering!

    I love the way Lindsey explains the importance of 'wintering' - it all makes so much sense! Our bodies indeed need periods of rest, recovery and also to prepare for a new season. And that's totally ok. I agree that 'wintering' should not be done guiltily or feel like a lazy option. Episode 257 is definitely worth a listen! ~ Anna

  • 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!
