Dale flies solo (briefly!) to close out 2025 and welcomes first-time podcast guest Becky Holliday - a project manager turned health coach. Becky shares how redundancy in October 2023 became the catalyst for a career pivot, and why she now helps busy professionals (especially women) build sustainable health habits. Val drops in mid-episode and the conversation expands into discipline vs motivation, managing workload pressure, eating well without weekend meal-prep marathons, and why small wins beat heroic last-minute sprints.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Why Becky left project management and what she brought with her into health coaching

• How to start improving health when you “don’t have time”

• Why trying to change everything on Monday usually backfires

• A simple way to reduce stress and decision fatigue: the “3-item to-do list”

• Practical approaches to healthier eating that don’t require your Sunday afternoon

  How movement can support mental resilience when work pressure spikes

• Discipline vs motivation—and why habit size matters

  • The role of identity, purpose, and values (and a thoughtful detour into spirituality)
