28) The 2 Most Underrated Strategies for excelling in Fitness (No, Really)
Mind & Muscle
In this episode, I share two powerful strategies for overcoming perfectionism and inconsistency in fitness plans. The first strategy, which I call forecasting, involves planning for obstacles and life chaos to ensure your fitness goals remain achievable. The second strategy, which I call fitness Pomodoro, encourages short bursts of movement to build momentum and maintain commitment without the pressure of maximum output. I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and realistic planning in achieving fitness success and, you know what? IT WORKS. Just ask ALL 200+ women I've worked with. ...

27) The Psychology of Fitness Motivation: Dopamine, Dips, and Breakthroughs

In this episode, I dive into the complexities of motivation, emphasizing the importance of awareness through the stages of motivation within my 90-day fitness program, Hypefit Method. Because my container is 90 days, I've been able to see many patterns and coach hundreds of women through these patterned milestones. I made my own 90-Day Motivation Map to organize this journey and share with my clients, that way we can pre-frame the experience and set realistic expectations. I'll discuss the honeymoon phase, the challenges of the first and second dips, and the significance of understanding...

26) Mastery Over Variety: The Key to Real Fitness Results
Mind & Muscle
Today's episode is dedicated to the one liner I hear ALL the time as a Personal Trainer: "I get bored easily" or "I need more variation." Sound like you? PERFECT. Let's chat! While I fully understand the desire to spice things up AND believe it's possible to do -- I also wish more people understood HOW to do it in an effective way. Usually what I see are people who've made needing variety part of their fitness identity. They take many random classes, try out challenges, and program hop -- often times doing these things back -to-back or at the same time (GASP). Look, I WANT you to be able to...

This weeks episode is a VERY personal, vulnerable share where I talk about how my husband and I have cultivated a loving relationship, despite my many "failures" in my past.

Join me in a reflective breakdown of how I navigated the hard parts of my childhood and overcame patterns and behaviors that were not serving me in adulthood. All of this healing & development was difficult. It was...

23) Freedom in Sobriety: My Journey from Sober Curious to Sober
Mind & Muscle
Today's short episode is a personal share on my recent decision to give up alcohol. I had always had a positive relationship to alcohol and was good at not drinking for short periods or drinking very little. My decision to quit didn't come from me drinking too much, it came from me realizing I just wasnt enjoying my drinks the way I always had. I explain the reactions my body was having to alcohol, my lifestyle and mindset shifts that powered my sober-curiousity, and how I "flipped the switch" without any doubt in my decision. If you're sober-curious perhaps some of my story will...

20) MINDSET: Navigating Inner Turmoil - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Embracing Change
Mind & Muscle
"But the thing is, even if I could go back, I wouldn't be there anymore." -CCZ In todays episode I get vulnerable about my own process and experience dealing with imposter sydrome, the surprising isolation that comes with changing, and other internal battles I've never shared about before. This is relevant to all parts of growth, healing, change: business, personal, emotional, mental, physical. When we decide to change and level up it's brave because it isn't free from problems. My hope is that this is relatable and helps even one person out there feel understood and NOT alone....

19) FITNESS: Pre-framing & Setting Expectations For A Smoother Client & Trainer Experience
Mind & Muscle
This is a short episode PACKED with tips on utilizing one of my favorite business tools: preframing. I think we've all been in one of those professional situations where things get dicey and now you have to have an awkward conversation and you wish you had just done things differently earlier in order to avoid the situation. I give you some examples of this from my own experiences (laughs in nervous) AND all the ways I've resolved these issues so they won't happen again. Pre-framing & Setting Clear Expecations... shows what kind of leader you are, that people are in good, sturdy,...

Dr. Aubrey Carpenter is a licensed clinical psychologist who has spent over a decade working as a pediatric psychologist, educator, and researcher in child mental health and parenting support. She completed her PhD at Boston University, her predoctoral internship at Boston Children’s Hospital, and her postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital before returning to her native Vermont to raise her family. Dr. Carpenter spent three years working at UVM Medical Center in the adolescent eating disorders clinic, and was involved in state-level advocacy that led to increased funding for eating disorder programming and training for Vermont providers.
She also recently started a private practice called It Takes A Village, where she is exclusively seeing parents and caregivers in need of support, after seeing firsthand that behind the youth mental health crisis is a widespread community of parents doing their best with limited resources.
