If you’re a smart, successful, busy woman who has checked all the boxes at the expense of taking care of your mind or your body, I got you. This show is for you.  
 
I’m Carrie, a family physician turned full-time life coach. I’ve combined my training as a physician, certified personal trainer, certified health coach, and certified life coach to bring you the tools you need to create strong habits. 
 
I know what it’s like to juggle loads of responsibilities at home and at work, have a demanding career, and want to feel good – both mentally and physically. After dealing with my own personal and professional life burnout, I changed things up and started taking care of both my mind and my body in a way that felt better. I simplified my life. I set boundaries. I started saying no. I made exercise, sleep, and healthy food a priority. I worked with a life coach to clean up my brain, and it was so transformative that I became one.
 
Now I’ve made it my mission to help as many women as possible take care better care of themselves. Every week, the podcast will cover one of three essential pieces of your wellness – Eating, Moving, and Thinking. 
 
You’ll learn what you need to know to optimize your body through exercise, building muscle, losing fat, eating healthy, and more. But that’s just the beginning. I’m also giving you the essential life coaching tools that will help you change how you think. 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.
