    200. What It Actually Takes to Change

    Why does change feel so hard, even when you know exactly what to do? If you've ever thought that the answer is just a better plan, more motivation, or finally getting your timing right, you're not alone. But what if the reason things aren't changing has nothing to do with what you know… and everything to do with how you're showing up when things aren't perfect?   In this episode, I'm reflecting on what I've seen after years of coaching and 200 podcast episodes, and I'm breaking down what actually creates change versus what people think will create change. Because it's not more information, it's not the perfect plan, and it's definitely not waiting for everything to line up. Real change happens in a much less flashy way, and it often looks very different from what most people expect.   Listen in this week to learn what it really takes to change, even when life is busy, messy, and unpredictable. You'll hear why willingness matters more than motivation, how honesty helps you stop spinning in assumptions, and why repetition is the part most people underestimate. I'll walk you through how planning reduces decision fatigue, how self-trust is built through follow-through, and what actually leads to results over time.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/200   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    199. Why Deciding What to Do Next Feels So Hard

    Have you ever found yourself stuck in a mental tug-of-war when deciding what to eat or how to work out, all because the conditions aren't perfect? What happens when the plan doesn't go as expected and the pressure to get it exactly right starts to weigh on you?   In today's episode, I'm diving into the small, everyday moments where the pressure of making the "right" choice can feel overwhelming, and why those moments often trip us up. If you've ever spiralled over a minor decision, like what to eat for dinner or whether to push through your workout when you're exhausted, this episode is for you.   Tune in this week to learn how to take the pressure off your decisions, especially when the conditions aren't perfect. I unpack the difference between making a decision that aligns with your reality and getting caught in the pressure of perfection, and show you why it's not about getting it right every time, but about making a choice and moving forward with consistency.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/199   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    198. Why You Keep Feeling Off Track - Even When You're Not

    What does it actually mean to be "on track"? Is it perfect eating, zero missed workouts, and everything going exactly as planned… or is it something else entirely?   In this episode, I'm unpacking why so many of you feel like you're constantly falling off track, even when you're doing a lot of things right. The truth is, most of the time, the issue isn't your effort. It's your definition.   Listen in this week to learn why defining "on track" as perfect keeps you stuck in an on-off cycle, how all-or-nothing thinking and only counting your best days distorts your progress, and why the reset mentality adds more drama than it solves. Most importantly, you'll learn how to build a definition of "on track" that actually fits your life so you can stop starting over and just keep going.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/198   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    197. Why 'Making Up for It' Keeps Backfiring

    Ever have a day or weekend where things feel a little off, and your first thought is, "Okay, now I need to get serious"? That urge to tighten everything up, eat "perfectly," or push harder in your workouts can feel productive in the moment, but what if it's actually the thing keeping you stuck?   In this episode, I'm breaking down the pattern of 'making up for it' - why it shows up so quickly after things don't go as planned, why it feels like the responsible thing to do, and what's really driving that urgency underneath the surface. Because most of the time, it's not about the food or the missed workouts. It's about what you're making it mean about you.   Listen in to learn why overcompensating creates more instability instead of less, how it reinforces the all-or-nothing cycle with food and exercise, and why the urge to 'make up for it' is often about proving something to yourself. You'll also learn how to return to your baseline without turning it into a big reset, how to spot the difference between neutral action and repayment, and how building self-trust comes from responding steadily instead of reacting intensely.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/197   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    196. The Pressure to Always Go Hard in Your Workouts (and Why It Backfires)

    Ever find yourself wondering if your workout counts unless it's intense enough? What if taking it easy is actually the key to long-term success?   In this episode, I share my experience with the pressure to make every workout count and why easing up can actually be the best thing for your long-term fitness. It's not about pushing yourself to the limit every single time. It's about consistency and sustainability.   Listen in to discover why showing up consistently matters more than pushing yourself to the extreme every time, why sometimes the best thing you can do is take it easy, and how shifting your focus from intensity to sustainability can help you stay on track long-term. You'll also learn how to let go of perfection, stop the comparison trap, and start honoring your body's needs instead of punishing it.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/196   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    195. Strength Training Questions Women Ask Most (How to Lift Heavier and Progress Safely)

    Strength training doesn't have to be complicated. But it can feel confusing when you're trying to figure it out on your own.   Questions like how heavy you should be lifting, how to structure your workouts, or how to work toward a pull-up come up all the time. And in this episode, I answer some of the most common strength training questions I hear from my clients and coaching community so you can train with more clarity and confidence.   Listen in this week to learn how to progress when the next dumbbell feels too heavy, how to know if the weight you're lifting is challenging enough, and how to protect your joints while still getting stronger. I'll also explain why soreness isn't required for progress, how long your workouts actually need to be, and how to structure your strength training across the week so it fits into real life.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/195   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    194. When You Feel Like You're Failing at Everything (Even When You're Not)

    Have you ever had the thought, I feel like I'm failing at everything?   That thought often shows up quietly. It might be when you're finishing work late at night, standing in the kitchen after a chaotic evening, or replaying moments from the day that didn't go the way you wanted. And even when nothing is actually falling apart, it can still feel like you're behind somewhere, at work, at home, with your health, or in your relationships.   Listen in this week as I unpack why so many high-achieving women fall into this pattern. You'll learn why trying to be excellent in every role at the same time creates an impossible standard, how the math of time and energy makes that expectation unsustainable, and why the feeling of "failing at everything" is often a distortion rather than reality. I'll also share a simple way to interrupt that spiral so you can evaluate your day more clearly and focus your energy on what actually matters next.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/194   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

    193. Are You Off Track or Just Tired?

    You're not falling behind. You might just be tired.   There's a version of fatigue we don't talk about much. Not burnout. Not depression. Not quitting. Just a quiet, steady flatness that shows up after you've been responsible, consistent, and high functioning for a long time. And in this episode, I break down why high-achieving women often misinterpret that feeling as slipping and respond by escalating when escalation isn't actually what's needed.   Tune in this week to hear the difference between a discipline problem and a capacity problem, why steady can feel uncomfortable when you're used to momentum, and how to calibrate your effort instead of automatically tightening things up. You'll learn how to tell whether you're truly off track or simply in a maintenance season, and why protecting what you've built may be the most strategic move you can make right now.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/193   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/
