161. Walking Through Discomfort: How to Stay Present When Things Feel Hard

This podcast helps smart, busy women like you build a strong body AND a strong mind by leveraging the power of three essential habits: Eating, Moving, and most importantly, Thinking. 

Join me. I'm Carrie Holland, a family physician, certified personal trainer, certified health coach, and certified life coach. Each week, I'll share tools and concepts to help you optimize both your habits and your mindset. My goal is to help you be strong – inside and out. 

I take the science (which is plentiful and often confusing) and pare it down to give you what you need to know in order to build muscle, lose fat, exercise, eat healthy, and more. No big words or doctor-speak; I keep fitness simple.

Beyond that, we're going to uplevel your mindset so that changing your lifestyle is possible. Often, you know what you need to do, but you're not doing it – I've got you covered. While I want you to have a strong body, your mindset matters most. If obstacles like perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, lack of self-confidence, or being too busy are getting in the way of you taking action, let's fix that. Because when you take care of yourself – mentally and physically – everyone around you wins. Especially you.  

Come hang out for the fitness advice. Stay for the guidance that will help you change the way you think.

Because strength starts from within. Welcome to the Strong Is a Mindset podcast.
