 About Lynda Smith

  • Lynda Smith is a Self-Love and Empowerment Coach redefining what leadership looks like for high-achieving women.
  • A former BBC TV journalist and Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Lynda is known for her transformative framework, Rejection Alchemy, teaching that everything in life — rejection, discipline, nourishment, movement, even discomfort — is material for alchemy.
  • After leaving her academic career, Lynda devoted her work to guiding women back to their authentic power. Her approach evolves beyond mindset alone into embodied self-leadership.
  • She blends daily movement, fasting, lacto-fermentation, and intentional joy practices to demonstrate that self-love is not a concept it is a lived discipline.
  • Through her 7-minute daily workouts and premium embodiment membership, Lynda helps women build devotion to themselves in small, consistent ways.
  • Her philosophy is simple yet radical: discipline is self-respect, nourishment is power, and joy is abundance in motion.
  • Her weekly Joy Series reveals how abundance is found in the simplest acts preparing a single beetroot and transforming it into a vibrant drink, a healing broth, sautĂ©ed greens, and a nourishing meal. For Lynda, this is alchemy in action: no scarcity in thought or living — simply embodied abundance.
  • Whether speaking on international stages or guiding women inside her community, Lynda invites her audience to turn rejection into redirection, routine into ritual, and the ordinary into the extraordinary.
  • Her work is a call to embodied empowerment: love yourself enough to move, nourish, rest, fast, speak, and lead on your own terms.
