Trim Healthy Podcast w/Serene & Pearl (and some guy named Danny)

After the holidays, many women wake up in January feeling puffy, discouraged, and convinced they need to do something drastic to fix it fast. In this episode, we talk about why extreme diets—like fasting, keto, carnivore, boot camps, and heavy restriction—backfire for women, and what’s really happening inside your body when food becomes punishment instead of nourishment. We cover metabolism, muscle loss, hormones (including perimenopause and menopause), gut health, and the shame-based thinking that keeps so many women stuck. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve failed again,” this is for you. This is not about going harder in January. It’s about returning—gently and wisely—to what actually works. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You are not too far gone. ✨ And you don’t have to punish yourself to heal.

If you’ve felt rushed, pressured, or pulled into fast decisions lately — pause. This episode is for you.Serene shares two recent moments where fear-based “act now” tactics almost won — one through a fake phone warning with a countdown, and another through a polished online funnel using AI to impersonate trusted voices. It sparked a bigger conversation we all need right now: urgency is rarely wisdom.From food choices to holiday pressure to New Year resets, we unpack why the loudest thoughts aren’t usually the wisest ones — and how learning to pause changes everything.In this episode: • Why “act now” pressure is often a trap • How fear hijacks your decision-making • What urgency looks like with food and cravings • Why quick fixes backfire • How wisdom, community, and the Wonderful Counselor lead to better choicesJoin Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).Welcome to the spot where Pearl and Serene share their knowledge and their hearts (along with Danny’s antics) on topics ranging from physical and mental health to spiritual truth, and, yes… even a little comic relief.

Is your home quietly working against your health? In this powerful and practical episode, we sit down with Stephen Ezell, founder of Truly Free Home, to talk about the hidden toxins lurking in everyday household products—especially in the laundry room. We’ve all been told that if something smells clean, it is clean. But Stephen helps us pull back the curtain on “clean smells,” dryer sheets, dishwashers, detergents, and so-called green products that may actually be disrupting hormones, irritating skin, and impacting long-term health—especially for our kids. This is not a fear-based conversation. It’s a hope-filled, doable discussion for real life. We talk about how to take meaningful steps toward a healthier home without becoming extreme, overwhelmed, or broke. In this episode, we cover:• Why the laundry room may be the most toxic room in your house• How fragrance loopholes and “blue goo” fool well-meaning families• What actually matters most when you’re prioritizing non-toxic living• Simple, budget-friendly swaps that make the biggest difference• How voting with our dollars can shift entire markets toward health Whether you’re just starting to question what’s under your sink or you’ve already made some clean swaps, this episode will meet you where you are and help you take your next best step with clarity and confidence. 🧺 Shop Truly Free Home: trulyfreehome.com 💸 Get 30% Off Sitewide with Promo Code: THM 🎁 Claim 100 Free Loads of Laundry: Click here 🌐 Learn more at: www.trulyfree.com Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).

If you have ever felt like you are doing “all the things” and still not seeing progress, this poddy is for you. In this episode we invite our longtime friend and executive coach Kris Honeycutt to sit in the hot seat with us and talk straight to the woman who feels defeated in her health, hormones, weight, or even family life. Kris walked through one of the hardest valleys a mama can face and God gave her a simple “battle plan” to get out of the pit. She is sharing that with you today so you can pick up hope again. This is not another “try harder” lecture. This is about partnering with God, shifting your mindset out of orphan thinking, and learning how to stay in the journey even when the scale or your circumstances are not budging yet. In this episode we talk about: What to do when you are discouraged and ready to quit The simple three step “battle plan” Kris uses every morning Letting go of your timeline without letting go of God’s promises How to invite God into your weight loss and health journey Why your 40s, 50s, and 60s are actually a powerful season, not “the end” How coaching and community can finally get you unstuck If you have ever whispered, “Maybe this just will not work for me,” come sit with us. There is hope. Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).
