Season two is here… and it starts with black ice, a hard fall, and a whole lot of perspective. After a winter storm rolls through town, I literally slip into a moment that reminds me just how far I’ve come. Years ago, getting up off the ground wouldn’t have been easy. This time? I stood up on my own. And that tiny victory felt huge. But this episode isn’t just about falling on ice. It’s about not...

This week, I’m joined by my friend and co-host Robin as we open up about the real stories behind our relationship with food, weight, and self-worth. This isn’t the kind of chaos story that makes you laugh — it’s the kind we usually don’t talk about. We share how trauma shaped the way we saw ourselves, how food became both comfort and protection, and how comments from family and friends (even when...

Being skinny doesn’t automatically mean being healthy — and gaining weight doesn’t always mean you’re not. 💬 In this week’s episode of Weighing In With Lindsie, I sit down with my niece, a CNA who sees health up close every day, to talk about what real wellness looks like beyond the number on the scale.
