her videos are nice to watch, great editing, encouraging & all, but rlly, they are repeating the same thing...a motivational speech voiceover and clips of her working out & eating...

Wow well said, “I’d rather be alone than being around people who bring in negative energy because I just don’t have the energy to be anything but myself” you’re so inspirational and have the right morals to be happy :))

[@Cowsmilkmoo]

It’s so true. After being surrounded by negativity my Freshman year of High School, I realized I’d rather be alone then be around people who bring negativity. Being around negativity changes you and makes you negative as well so sometimes it’s best to be alone, even if it hurts.

Been depressed this past 3 months, neglecting college work, strained relationship with my mum, and just been hit with the news of my parents divorcing today. But every time I watch your videos, they bring me hope to keep on fighting and to take care of myself. Thanks for always being such great help when I’m feeling low ❤️ (with tears pouring down my face)

I really for you my parents divorced as well into my sophomore year. Just be present with yourself and take days one at a time. Also if your relationship with is strained with your mum, distance can do wonders believe me.

You motivate me so much to keep pushing through all my horrible mental and physical feelings. This is one of the hardest things I have ever gone through in my life and you make me a little better when im at my worst. I Truly thank you linda ❤️

watching linda feels like a warm hug - it’s so comforting and safe and steers me towards better thoughts if im having intrusive ones

I'm crying rn thinking why can't i love myself and appreciate my body and eat whatever i want why am i making my life stressful by restricting myself so much i hope i can overcome my restriction and be happy again.. Thank you linda you've inspired me to love my body and appreciate myself.

[@starlight8554]

I’m in my final year of medical school and I’m *stressed* 24/7 and the whole covid situation makes everything a 100 times harder. If I’ve learned anything in 2021, it’s to take each day as it comes- life isn’t something I can dissect and plan and micromanage - and I’ve learned to accept that. I prioritise peace over everything else. I’m here for such a short time in the grand scheme of things and I’m not going to waste it stressing over things that might or might not happen. I had a hard year but it was better than 2020 by a mile. 2020 battered me and in 2021 I started to heal and I’ll continue to heal and thrive in ‘22, ‘23 while learning and growing.

[@amaliefishers1296]

watching someone who's literally soooo beautiful talk about her insecurities is honestly so relieving like phew even pretty people have bad feelings

[@coolcookie9535]

honestly ive been watching linda’s videos since 30k, and it feels as though im growing up with her. ive had a lot of ed’s, negative thoughts, and u can guess the rest. im so so proud of linda for helping me become a better person mentally and physically, but im mostly proud of her. please linda, never stop being happy 😊

[@sanikakulkarni4887]

Ok this is weird but i literally kept thinking you'd post today and you did. Ik you probably won't see this but Linda, you're such a beautiful and strong human being.

[@samgibbs5244]

This video is so perfectly timed because I know exactly how you feel. I'm chronically stressed because of nursing school so I eat what I want to telling myself I'll workout, but then I never do because I'm either too stressed or too exhausted. Then my mental health bears the weight because I feel guilty about what I'm eating and that I'm not working out. I can always relate to your content and it always reminds me that it's okay if I'm not constantly working out and that I'm allowed to eat without feeling guilty. Thank you for always being transparent, Linda!

I’ve lost myself completely. I have no motivation to get out of bed anymore and to start working out again since i got covid. i was doing so good before i got covid and was finally starting to love myself, but then i lost a lot of weight… and i’m underweight again. it all just hurts knowing all that progress i made with glute and leg gains and weight gain is just gone… all for nothing. it took forever to get where i was and it took a week to lose it all. to lose myself once again. i don’t know when i’ll be happy, i don’t know when i’ll be back to myself, i don’t know when i’ll start working out again and love my body, but i do know that i will keep pushing to get myself out of bed and pushing myself to be the strong person i know i could be. 2022 will be my year. i WILL achieve most of my goals, if not all. i can not wait. i will make it.

Linda, you are probably the biggest reason why I got over my disordered eating and my need to live for other people's satisfaction. I'm not saying they're not there anymore, but you remind me to accept myself, flaws and all. You're an inspiration to so many because you're human, and seeing someone else just existing makes it easier for the rest of us. Thank you :3
