Mental Load; Why You're Always Exhausted18 oct. 202600:32:33

Ep. 410: Ever feel completely mentally exhausted, even when you haven't accomplished much on your to-do list? You might be carrying more than you realize.

Mental load is the invisible work of remembering, planning, anticipating, making decisions, and keeping everything running. And for entrepreneurs, that invisible workload can become overwhelming.

In this episode of Success in Mind, Teri Holland explores the psychology of mental load, why entrepreneurs often feel responsible for everything, and how being "the capable one" can become an identity that's difficult to let go of.

Drawing on psychological concepts like attention residue, working memory, and the impact of unfinished tasks, Teri explains why your brain can feel exhausted even when you haven't been physically busy.

But this conversation goes beyond productivity and time management. It's about the emotional weight of responsibility, the resentment that builds when you're carrying too much, and why delegating tasks doesn't always mean you're delegating the mental burden.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What mental load is and how it differs from your actual workload

  • Why entrepreneurs, especially women, can experience overwhelming invisible responsibilities

  • How attention residue and unfinished tasks contribute to mental exhaustion

  • Why being responsible for everything can become part of your identity

  • The connection between mental load, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and resentment

  • Why resting physically doesn't necessarily mean you're recovering mentally

  • Five practical ways to reduce mental load, establish boundaries, and reclaim your mental energy

Here's the question worth asking yourself:

Am I doing this because it's genuinely my responsibility, or because I'm uncomfortable with what might happen if I don't?

High performance isn't about doing everything, being available to everyone, or constantly operating at maximum capacity. It's about creating the conditions that allow you to perform well and sustain your success.

Sometimes the answer isn't learning how to do more. It's recognizing what you no longer need to carry.

Your challenge: Identify one responsibility, expectation, or problem you've been mentally carrying that you can finally put down.

Because just because you're capable of carrying it doesn't mean it's yours to carry.

If this episode resonates with you, share it with an entrepreneur who needs to hear this message.

Stop Negotiating With Yourself: How to Build Self-Trust07 oct. 202600:20:29

Ep. 409: How many times have you told yourself, “This time, I’m really going to do it”… only to start negotiating with yourself when it’s actually time to follow through?

You’ll start Monday. You’re too tired today. You need a better plan. Maybe the timing isn’t right.

You might think you have a motivation problem.

But what if it’s actually a self-trust problem?

In this episode of Success in Mind, Teri Holland explores how constantly renegotiating the commitments you make to yourself can quietly destroy your self-trust, confidence and consistency.

You’ll learn why discomfort doesn’t automatically mean you’ve made the wrong decision, the important difference between behavioral flexibility and avoidance, and why waiting until you “feel like it” is a terrible strategy for achieving your goals.

Teri also shares a simple strategy she uses with her coaching clients: decide once.

Instead of repeatedly reopening decisions you’ve already made, learn how to reduce decision fatigue, stop relying on motivation and start creating evidence that you can trust yourself to follow through.

Because self-trust isn’t built by telling yourself you’re trustworthy.

It’s built by keeping your word to yourself.

In this episode:

• Why motivation may not be your real problem
• How constantly negotiating with yourself damages self-trust
• The difference between flexibility and avoidance
• Why discomfort isn’t new information
• How to stop relying on motivation
• The “decide once” strategy
• How entrepreneurs can develop stronger self-leadership
• Why smaller commitments can create greater consistency
• How following through builds confidence and self-discipline

If you’ve been struggling with procrastination, consistency, discipline, motivation or following through on your goals, this episode will give you a different way to think about what’s actually getting in your way.

Success in Mind with Teri Holland explores high performance, mindset, entrepreneurship, confidence, habits, goal achievement and what it really takes to create success that lasts.

Burnout and the Hidden Cost of Ambition with Sophie Ash25 sept. 202600:44:03

Ep. 408: Burnout and the Hidden Cost of Ambition with Sophie Ash

What happens when you build the life you thought you wanted, and realize it’s burning you out?

In this episode of Success in Mind, I’m joined by Sophie Ash, author of Be the Person, for an honest conversation about burnout, ambition, perfectionism, people pleasing, self-trust, and what it really means to be successful.

Sophie shares her experience of losing connection with the life she had worked so hard to create and ultimately reinventing her life around freedom, intuition, and a more honest definition of success.

We talk about the complicated side of ambition: what happens when your drive to achieve starts costing you more than you realized? How do perfectionism and people pleasing contribute to burnout? And is it possible to pursue big goals without abandoning yourself in the process?

In this conversation, we explore:

• Burnout and the hidden cost of ambition
• Perfectionism and people pleasing
• Recognizing when the life you built no longer fits
• Redefining what success means to you
• Rebuilding self-trust after burnout
• Creating a more intuitive approach to business and life
• Pursuing ambition without abandoning yourself
• Building success that actually feels successful

If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or ambitious person who has ever thought, “I worked so hard for this… so why doesn’t it feel the way I thought it would?” this conversation is for you.

Money Mindset for Entrepreneurs: Break Your Income Ceiling28 août 202600:17:47

Ep. 407: Most founders try to grow their business by changing their strategy; new offers, new funnels, new marketing. But if your subconscious identity hasn't caught up to the next level you say you want, you'll unconsciously sabotage the very growth you're chasing.

In this episode, Teri breaks down why revenue follows identity (not the other way around), how self-concept quietly caps what you're able to receive, and the subconscious reprogramming work that actually shifts the ceiling.

Key Takeaways:

  • Identity shifts drive revenue growth 
  • Self-sabotage before a breakthrough is identity, not discipline.
  • Income ceilings are installed early, not chosen.
  • Affirmations backfire. Real change needs belief work + new action.
  • Being needed or always busy blocks both time freedom and revenue.

The Time Freedom Lie That Keeps Founders Stuck20 août 202600:22:57
 Ep. 406: Time Freedom Is a Founder Requirement, Not a Reward

This week, I'm challenging you to rethink your relationship with time and busyness. This episode explains why a calendar packed with tasks is not proof of leadership, and why protected, unstructured time is essential for vision, innovation, and long-term growth. If you have ever equated stillness with laziness, this is a direct reset.

Key topics
  • Why a full calendar is not the goal
  • The trap of building a job, not a business.
  • Execution vs. Founder Vision
  • The true meaning of time freedom
  • 4 Mindset shifts for Founders
Action items
  • Block 60 minutes this week with nothing scheduled.

  • Sit, walk, or daydream without input from podcasts, reading, or screens.

  • Notice what ideas, questions, or resistance come up.

  • Ask yourself what you may be avoiding when you feel the urge to stay busy.

  • Share the episode with one founder who needs permission to think.

No, Your AI Doesn't Sound Like You. Here's Why25 juin 202600:27:27

Ep. 405: After an unplanned hiatus, Teri is back, and she's not holding back. In this solo episode of Success in Mind, she tackles the conversation every coach, consultant, and service-based entrepreneur needs to hear: why you shouldn't be handing your content over to AI.

Teri isn't anti-AI, she uses it daily to brainstorm, research, and repurpose. But there's a line between using AI as an assistant and letting it replace your thinking, your voice, and your creativity. She breaks down the tells of AI-generated content, the hidden cost to your brand (and your brain), and exactly how to use AI the smart way with a simple 3-phase framework: Think. Draft. Finish.

If your content has started to feel "fine" but flat, grammatically correct but somehow empty, this episode is your wake-up call. Because in an AI-saturated world, the most valuable thing you have is the one thing AI will never have: you.

Key Takeaways
  • AI is an assistant, not an author. Use it to brainstorm, research, and repurpose, not to think.
  • Your audience can feel the difference. Even when they can't name it, AI content reads as empty, sterile, and disconnected.
  • You are the product. For a personal brand, people buy your perspective, your phrasing, your lived experience. These are the things AI can't replicate.
  • Writing is internal work. Outsourcing it means skipping the clarity, conviction, and growth that come from articulating your own thoughts.
  • "I trained my AI to sound like me" usually isn't true, because usually, the entrepreneur hasn't yet defined what their own voice actually is.
  • The 3-phase framework: Think (you) → Draft (AI assists) → Finish (you, out loud, non-negotiable).

This week's challenge: Pick one piece of content; a caption, a LinkedIn article, a YouTube script, a page of your book, and write the first ugly draft yourself. Don't open ChatGPT or Claude first. Write what you actually think, in the words you'd actually use. Then clean it up if you want, but keep it yours. Notice how it feels, and notice the response you get.

Did you take the challenge? Teri wants to hear about it:

If this episode sparked something, share it with a friend who's leaning a little too hard on AI.

Business Partnerships That Actually Work with Yahel Demeter30 avr. 202600:47:34

 Ep. 403: Yahel Demeter is back, and if you've been counting, this is his fifth appearance on Success in Mind, making him the most recurring guest on the show. This time, Teri and Yahel are pulling back the curtain on their own business partnership: what's working, why it works, and what you need to know before you enter one yourself.

This episode was sparked by questions from their Instagram Q&As, where followers kept asking how they could build a partnership like the one Teri and Yahel have. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why business owners want (and need) a partner
  • What makes someone a "smart partner" 
  • Role clarity
  • The three levels of values alignment
  • Decision-making protocols 
  • When (and how) to get a partnership agreement 
  • How to handle disagreements 
  • Red flags to watch for What makes their partnership work 
  • How to know when it's time to walk away 

Red flags to watch for before and during a partnership:

  • Avoidance of conflict
  • Misaligned exit strategies
  • Secretive behavior
  • Ego dominance ("my way or the highway")
  • Incompatible work schedules and boundaries
  • Income-to-effort disparities

What makes their partnership work One word from Yahel: effortless. The dynamic between them is natural. They can disagree, have bad days, and still show up for each other, because the foundation of trust and mutual respect means they never have to perform.

Nervous System Regulation for Entrepreneurs: The Missing Piece in Business Growth25 avr. 202600:09:33

Ep. 402: Why Your Nervous System Is Running Your Business (And What to Do About It).

Most business advice focuses on strategy, marketing, and pricing, but what if the real reason you're stuck is happening beneath all of that? In this episode, Teri Holland breaks down the connection between your nervous system and your business results, and why no amount of planning or strategy can override an unregulated nervous system.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why procrastination, freeze responses, and self-sabotage are nervous system problems — not discipline problems
  • The two primary nervous system states and how each one affects your decision-making, risk tolerance, and creativity
  • Why most entrepreneurs are unknowingly running their businesses from a state of threat response
  • What a dysregulated nervous system actually looks like in everyday business scenarios
  • Three practical steps to start shifting your nervous system so you can take action, show up consistently, and grow

Key Takeaways:

  • Your nervous system is the foundation of your business 
  • Resistance isn't a motivation problem
  • Awareness, regulation practices, and deep unconscious reprogramming each play a different, and essential, role
  • NLP, hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy work at the root level, not the surface

Becoming Your Future Self: Why You Can't Outperform Self Image10 avr. 202600:13:20

Ep. 401: Have you ever wondered why your New Year’s resolutions vanish by February, or why you "self-sabotage" just as things are starting to go well? The truth is simpler, and more profound than a lack of willpower: You cannot consistently perform in a way that is inconsistent with how you see yourself.

In this episode, we explore the "Identity Thermostat", the unconscious mechanism that keeps you tethered to your past self. We move beyond "fake it 'til you make it" and dive into the neurological and psychological shift required to become the person your goals require you to be. If you’re tired of hitting an invisible ceiling, it’s time to change the person in the mirror.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

  • The Identity Thermostat: Why your brain "kicks on the AC" when you start to succeed.

  • Be-Do-Have vs. Have-Do-Be: The mathematical error most people make when setting goals.

  • The Evidence Locker: How to use "micro-wins" to prove your new identity to your unconscious mind.

  • The Power of "Yet": Auditing your internal narrative and the danger of "I am" statements.

  • The Imposter Phase: Why feeling like a "fake" is actually a sign of metabolic psychological growth.

The Science of Sustainable Success: How to Prevent Entrepreneurial Burnout20 mars 202600:15:18

Ep. 400: In this episode, we deconstruct the dangerous myth of hustle culture and reveal why strategic recovery is the ultimate "unfair advantage" for the modern founder. Most entrepreneurs treat their brains like a constant light switch, but science tells a different story. We dive deep into the neurobiology of peak performance, explaining how decision fatigue actively drains your ROI and why the glymphatic system is your brain’s essential nightly "cleaning crew."

Stop viewing rest as a sign of weakness and start treating it as a lead indicator for growth. We break down the three essential types of recovery—Passive, Active, and Creative—and explain how the Default Mode Network (DMN) turns your downtime into your most productive "innovation window." If you’re ready to scale your business without sacrificing your mental health, it’s time to master the periodization of effort. Learn how to train like an industrial athlete and turn rest into your most profitable metric.

Key Takeaways:
  • The ROI of Sleep: Why sleep deprivation equals a 0.05% BAC cognitive impairment.

  • Creative Rest: Leveraging the DMN for breakthrough ideas.

  • Active Recovery: Moving stress out of the body to preserve the prefrontal cortex.

  • Burnout Prevention: Transitioning from "The Grind" to sustainable high performance.

How to Outgrow Your Circle: The Room Audit for Success18 févr. 202600:15:27

Ep. 399: Stop Shrinking: How to Audit Your Inner Circle and Level Up

Are you the smartest, most successful, or most "together" person in your circle?  According to Teri Holland, that isn't winning—it’s a state of emergency.  In this episode of Success in Mind, we dive into a radical audit of the rooms you stand in, from your friend groups to your professional networks.  

We explore why your "day ones" often have the hardest time seeing your growth because they are anchored to your past history.  If you have ever felt like you had to dim your light to make others feel comfortable, this episode is your permission slip to find a new room.  

Key Topics Discussed:

  • The Room Audit: Teri breaks down the four categories every social or business group falls into.  
  • The Prophet Dilemma: Why a prophet is never honoured in their own hometown and why you must often go where no one knows who you used to be to reach your potential.  
  • The Crab Bucket Theory: Understanding why people will unconsciously pull you back down when you start to reach for new levels of success.  
  • The Five-Person Paycheck: Why the five people you spend the most time with are secretly writing your paycheck and determining your mindset.  
  • Leaving Gracefully: Practical scripts for shifting boundaries and entering a season of focus without burning bridges. 

"If you're the smartest, most successful, or the most together person in the circle, that's not winning. That's a state of emergency."   

"Your growth is a mirror that reflects their stagnation."   

"You owe your future self the courage to be the new kid again."

From Conflict to Growth with Dorothy Andreas11 févr. 202601:05:50

Dorothy joins us to discuss her award-winning book, Conflict Revelation, which explores the internal and external mechanics of business drama.

  • Archetypes at Work: How the Victim and the Saboteur roles are formed in childhood and how to interrupt those patterns as adults.

How to Stop Self-Sabotage: Breaking Your Capacity Ceiling28 janv. 202600:10:45

Ep. 397: Have you ever felt like you were finally about to break through to that next level of success, only to find yourself suddenly distracted, exhausted, or picking fights with your partner?

You have the strategy, you’ve done the mindset work, and you know exactly what needs to be done. But the closer you get to that revenue goal or program launch, the more you start to drag your feet.

In this episode, Teri Holland dives deep into the Capacity Ceiling. Using principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), she explains why your nervous system might actually perceive your growth as a physical threat—and how to retrain your body to feel safe while you grow.

Inside the Episode:
  • The "Internal Thermostat": How your unconscious mind prioritizes familiarity over happiness or wealth.

  • The T.O.T.E. Model: A breakdown of the "Test-Operate-Test-Exit" loop and why most entrepreneurs get stuck in a permanent state of "Operate."

  • The 3 Pillars of the Capacity Ceiling:

    1. Visibility: The primal fear of being seen and judged.

    2. Responsibility: The dread of the "weight" that comes with a bigger business.

    3. Worthiness: Why your body can feel "allergic" to higher levels of wealth.

  • Expansion Over Effort: Why "pushing through" leads to burnout and what to do instead.

  • 3 Steps to Expand Your Container: From naming the feeling to micro-dosing success through embodiment.

Why Resolutions Fail and How to Set Identity-Based Goals07 janv. 202600:20:41

Ep. 396: In the first episode of 2026, host Teri Holland explains why willpower is unreliable and how to partner with your unconscious mind to achieve your goals. Instead of setting "wishes," learn how to define real changes through identity-level shifts and nervous system safety.

Key Takeaways:

  • Identity Over Outcomes: You cannot outperform your self-image. Learn how to level up who you are to match what you want to achieve.

  • Safety First: If a goal triggers a threat response (procrastination), it’s too big. Teri shares how to scale down until your body feels grounded and clear.

  • Build Structure, Not Pressure: Motivation is fleeting; routines are mechanical. Discover "habit anchoring" to make your new behaviors automatic.

  • The Smallest Action: Use the "minimum viable action" strategy to keep promises to yourself even when resistance shows up.

Reflection Questions from the Show:

  1. Which resolution have you been setting on repeat?

  2. What identity is this goal asking you to step into?

  3. What is one action you can take today that feels doable and not dramatic?

Why Your Friends and Family Don't Take Your Business Seriously18 déc. 202500:12:41

Ep. 395: Why don’t friends and family take you seriously while strangers support your business and personal growth? In this episode of Success in Mind, we break down the psychology behind why the people closest to you don’t support you — and why this is completely normal for entrepreneurs and high performers.

If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, creator, or business owner, this episode explains the psychology behind why the people closest to you don’t take you seriously — and why this dynamic is far more common than anyone talks about.

In this episode of Success in Mind, we break down:

  • Why strangers are often more supportive than friends and family

  • The psychology of Prophet in Your Own Land Syndrome

  • How familiarity kills perceived authority

  • Why your growth threatens people in your inner circle (even if they love you)

  • Why online validation feels stronger than real-life support

  • Why friends don’t support your business — and what to do instead

  • How to stop seeking validation from the wrong people

  • The mindset shift every high performer needs to keep moving forward

This episode is especially relevant if you’ve ever thought:

  • “Why don’t my friends support my business?”

  • “Why does my family not take me seriously?”

  • “Why do strangers believe in me more than people I know?”

  • “Why does my success feel uncomfortable around people close to me?”

You’re not imagining it — and you’re not doing anything wrong.

This episode will help you detach from misplaced expectations, understand the psychology behind being undervalued by your inner circle, and refocus your energy on the people who are actually ready to see you.

The Identity Gap: Why Success Doesn’t Feel Like You Yet30 oct. 202500:10:51

Why You Keep Manifesting Chaos (And How to stop It!)23 oct. 202500:11:00

 Ep. 389: If your life feels like a loop of chaos, constant drama, burnout, or back-to-back “why does this keep happening?” moments, this episode is for you.

Teri Holland, high-performance coach and hypnotherapist, reveals why your subconscious might actually believe that chaos equals safety. You’ll learn how early programming, nervous-system conditioning, and identity patterns keep recreating stress, overwhelm, and emotional rollercoasters, and how to finally rewire your mind for calm, consistency, and success.

Inside this episode:

  • The neuroscience behind your subconscious addiction to chaos

  • Why your mind mistakes familiar for safe (even when it’s painful)

  • How childhood unpredictability becomes adult self-sabotage

  • A simple NLP-based exercise to retrain your nervous system for peace

  • How to manifest from calm instead of crisis

Key takeaway:
You’re not addicted to chaos; your nervous system is addicted to familiarity. Once you teach your body that calm is safe, chaos stops feeling like home.

Money Mindset for Women: Want More Without Guilt13 mai 202500:13:31

 Ep. 371: Money mindset for women isn’t just about budgeting or saving—it's about owning your desire for more without guilt, shame, or needing to explain yourself.

In this bonus episode of Success in Mind, I’m diving deep into a pattern I see all too often in women’s networking circles: the habit of justifying financial goals. Whether it’s “I want to give it all away” or “I want to retire my husband,” we often soften our ambitions. But here’s the truth—you don’t need a reason to want more. Financial freedom for women starts with letting yourself want what you want.

I’m talking candidly about how our language around money reveals limiting beliefs, why the word “retire” may not be what you think it is, and how female entrepreneurs can rewrite their internal stories about success, wealth, and worthiness.

This episode will challenge how you think about money and give you full permission to claim it—unapologetically.

💬 Topics We Cover:
  • The subtle ways women justify wealth

  • Why “retiring your husband” may not be empowering

  • What money really means: health, choice, and freedom

  • How to shift your wealth mindset without guilt

  • Why wanting more just because you want it is enough

How to Legally Protect Your Podcast and YouTube Channel with Trademarks and Copyrights with Andrei Mincov08 avr. 202500:46:52

Ep. 367 Understanding Trademarks & Copyrights for Creators with Andrei Mincov

In this episode, I welcomed back the always brilliant Andrei Mincov of Trademark Factory. I knew I had to bring him on again after so many questions came up in my podcast training around copyright and trademarks—especially for podcasters, YouTubers, and content creators.

We covered so much in this conversation, and Andrei has such a clear and practical way of explaining this often confusing topic.

✨ Here's what we explored:

  • The difference between copyright and trademark (hint: one protects the how, the other protects the who)

  • What aspects of your podcast or YouTube channel are automatically protected—and which aren’t

  • Whether or not episode titles are protected 

  • How to know when it’s worth trademarking your brand or logo

  • What to do if someone uses your content—or if you accidentally use someone else’s

Plus, Andrei shares a personal answer to our ongoing "question for the next guest" tradition and leaves us with a powerful one to pass along.

🎧 Whether you’re a beginner podcaster or a seasoned content creator, this episode is packed with essential insights that can protect your brand and save you from future headaches.

And if you’re serious about trademarking your brand, check out trademarkfactory.com—I’ve used them myself, and it made the whole process SO much easier.

Afraid of Being Seen? Let’s Talk About Dealing with Online Haters01 avr. 202500:15:56

Ep. 366: In this episode of Success in Mind, I’m sharing something that holds so many of us back from showing up, sharing our message, and being seen: the fear of online haters, trolls, and cancel culture.

I share a deeply personal story about a time I was publicly attacked online by people I once knew—and how that experience nearly stopped me from pursuing my coaching business. But more importantly, I talk about the powerful lesson I learned from it: resilience.

If you’ve ever been afraid to start your podcast, launch your YouTube channel, write your book, or speak your truth because of what “they” might say... this episode is for you.

🎯 Key Takeaways: -

  • Not everyone will like you—and that’s okay. About one-third of the people you meet won’t be your fans, and a small percentage may actively dislike you. That can’t stop you from doing your work. 
  • Visibility comes with criticism. If you want to play big, you have to be ready for the spotlight—and the shadows it casts.
  • You have a choice: Give your power to the haters or to the people you’re here to serve.
  • This is training. Every challenge you face online is preparing you for the next level of your personal and professional growth.
  • Real freedom is not caring about what the wrong people think. The people who can’t be canceled are the ones who stop giving a damn about the opinions that don’t matter.

💡 Episode Highlights:

  • The true story of my first Facebook ad campaign—and how it turned into a 48-hour nightmare
  • The bullying that almost made me quit
  • What my coach said that changed everything for me
  • The “1/3 Rule” of human connection and how it can free you - Why we must stop playing small in a world that needs our message

Why You Should Never Lower Your Prices to Fit Someone Else's Budget19 mars 202500:17:21

Ep. 364: Are you undervaluing your services because someone told you your prices are too high? In this episode of Success in Mind, we tackle the common trap of lowering your worth to fit someone else’s budget. Your pricing reflects your expertise, results, and value—so why let someone else’s money mindset dictate your own?

Join me as we discuss: 

  • The real reason people say, "That’s too expensive." 
  • Why lowering your prices can actually hurt your business (and your clients!)
  • How to respond to price objections with confidence
  • The mindset shift you need to own your worth and stand firm in your pricing

If you’ve ever felt pressure to discount your services or doubted whether you’re "charging too much," this episode is for you. Tune in now and step into the confidence you deserve!

🎧 Listen now: www.teriholland.ca

Key Takeaways: ✅ Pricing objections are often a reflection of the buyer’s priorities—not your value. ✅ Lowering your prices attracts lower commitment and can lead to burnout. ✅ You don’t have to justify your worth—stand firm in what you offer! ✅ Instead of discounting, reframe the value and offer flexible payment options.
