Summary
 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.

    228. I Want to Look Like I Work Out: What Does It Actually Take?
    Nov 4 2026

    You're working out regularly, making exercise a priority, and putting in the time. But if you're hoping to look more muscular or defined, you might be wondering why your body isn't changing the way you expected. What does it actually take to look like you work out, and are the things you're doing really moving you toward that goal?

    In this episode, I explore the difference between exercising to improve your fitness and training for a specific physical result. We'll look at why a challenging workout doesn't necessarily mean you're giving your muscles what they need to grow, and why building a more muscular physique involves more than just what happens in the gym.

    227. You're Eating Well and Exercising. So Why are You Gaining Weight?
    Oct 28 2026

    You're eating well, exercising regularly, and putting in the effort. So why is your weight still creeping up?

    I've had this conversation with so many women who feel like they're doing all the right things but aren't seeing the results they expect. And while it's easy to wonder whether you need a new diet, a different workout, or another strategy, sometimes the answer is hiding in the habits you already have.

    226. Stop Starting Over: Why Getting Back to It Is a Skill
    Oct 21 2026

    When something doesn't go according to plan, do you get back to what you were doing, or does one setback turn into weeks of starting over? A missed workout, an unplanned meal, or a few days off your routine can quickly become something much bigger than the original setback.

    In this episode, I talk about the part of consistency we don't pay enough attention to: what happens after we don't follow through. We'll explore why setbacks can turn into judgments about ourselves, how being hard on ourselves can make it harder to get back to our habits, and what it actually means to take responsibility when things don't go as planned.
