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

We could not wait for you to hear Marissa’s story. She’s a mama of two who has walked through a lot and come out the other side with so much wisdom and hope. From growing up with drive-thru dinners to battling sugar addiction, from the exhaustion of early motherhood to finding out she had underlying genetic challenges like double MTHFR, her journey is powerful. After a traumatic first birth left her depleted and stuck in the diet cycle, Marisa knew she needed a change. She shares how she broke free from old habits, kicked her soda addiction, and found a way of eating that truly nourished her body through Trim Healthy Mama. She talks about the small daily habits that made the biggest difference, the mindset shifts that helped her leave the diet rat race behind, and the faith that carried her every step of the way. This conversation is full of laughter, real talk, and heartfelt moments. Marisa opens up about choosing whole foods over quick fixes, calming her nervous system, and finding the peace of God in her motherhood journey. If you are feeling stuck, craving encouragement, or wondering if transformation is possible for you, this episode will remind you that you are not broken and you are not alone.

Today we’re discussing women’s health from the teen years all the way into the golden years. We get to the root of why so many girls and women are struggling with body image, low energy, irregular cycles, and broken identities. We cover it all: the dangers of undereating and calorie obsession in teen girls, how birth control may be messing with hormones and mental health more than we realize, and the critical need for healthy fats, carbs, protein, and strength training, no matter your age or stage. We get real about how muscle isn’t just for aesthetics. It’s your hormonal armor. And if you’re in your 20s or 30s and think you can just coast, we’re here to lovingly shake you. What you do now sets up your future health, bone strength, metabolism, and emotional well-being. Whether you’ve got young daughters, you’re walking through perimenopause, or you’re 70 and still swinging those kettlebells, this is for you. We even share stories from our coaching retreats that will make you laugh, cry, and feel like you’re not alone in the journey. This more than a conversation. It’s a wake-up call to stop shrinking physically, emotionally, and mentally, and start fueling your body with the love, nutrients, and strength it deserves.

It’s a testosterone takeover on the Poddy! We are joined by our powerhouse sons Arden and Bowen, who run Undefeated Men, a coaching program that’s redefining what it means to be strong from the inside out. In this raw, hilarious, and deeply moving episode, we dive into what it takes to make the transformation from weakness to warrior, physically, spiritually, and mentally. Arden shares his remarkable story of overcoming stage 4 cancer, while Bowen opens up about shifting from fast food mornings to meal-prepping dad mode. Together, they break down what’s really holding men back from their health goals (hint: it’s not time, age, or bad genetics) and why accountability and identity are everything. From medium shirts and drive-thru confessions to leading families, leading by example, and building a brotherhood of men who won’t quit, this episode is for every man who’s ready to rise and every woman who’s ready to stop “helping” and start believing and inspiring. Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe do a few push-ups. Key Topics:  • The truth about male fitness, mindset, and motivation  • Why men listen better to men and how wives can finally step back  • Building a movement of spiritually and physically strong men  • Real talk on identity, discipline, and the power of showing up  • How Undefeated Men is transforming homes, marriages, and legacies To Learn More: Visit undefeatedmen.com to join the 90-day coaching program.

On this episode of the PODDY, we’re bringing in one of our very first Trim Healthy Mama coaches Heather, to share her story. And oh, what a story it is. Heather opens up about her journey through anorexia, binge eating and pregnancy loss.  She takes us back to a time when her identity was wrapped up in the number on the scale, and how that scale held power over her until God led her to freedom through the Trim Healthy way. Heather shares about how she has discovered this lifestyle isn’t just about weight loss or gain. It’s about breaking free from perfectionism, body shame, and the mental battle so many of us face. Heather’s been walking this out for 12 years now, and her testimony is full of hope, healing, and hard-won wisdom. If you’ve ever felt not enough, stuck in an eating disorder, addicted to sugar, or just unsure how to nourish your body well, this is for you. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain weight, balance hormones, or simply feel like yourself again, Heather’s story will speak to your heart. We laughed, we even cried a little, and we left this conversation feeling so encouraged. We know you will too. Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).

Cindy’s journey started at 444 pounds — carrying not just the weight of her body, but the emotional burden of childhood trauma, constant bullying, and a lifetime of failed diets. She had tried it all: Keto, Paleo, Weight Watchers, even running in place at 12 years old in a plastic sauna suit. Nothing worked — until she was gifted a Trim Healthy Mama book and found Coach Amy. That was the moment things started to change. This time, Cindy didn’t just diet. She fueled her body with purpose. She gave herself grace. She started slow, stayed consistent, and found support through the THM community and trauma therapy. The result? Over 100 pounds lost (and counting) — and a woman who’s finally learning to love herself from the inside out. 💪 Along the way, Cindy: – Rebuilt her mindset around food, choosing fuel over coping – Found healing through THM’s sustainable, budget-friendly approach – Learned to love veggies (yes, even at breakfast!) – Is raising her girls without diet culture — just nourishment and truth – Gained energy, joy, and confidence through every step of the journey She still works from home, homeschools, and cares for a family but, she’s no longer doing it from an empty cup. Cindy’s story is for every mama who thinks it’s too late or too hard. Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).

Heather found herself 60 pounds heavier and stuck in a cycle of sugar addiction. After three pregnancies and the emotional and physical rollercoaster that came with them… her breakthrough finally came after baby number three. This time, she approached THM with intention—studying the principles, taking them seriously, and embracing the truth behind them. The result? Rapid (but sustainable) fat-loss and a total shift in how she viewed her body. Heather discovered that control isn’t a dirty word—it’s freedom. By learning how to fuel her body with health, she broke free from stress and anxiety around food. Now, she moves forward with confidence. While she doesn’t always stick to THM recipes (her husband handles most of the cooking), she still anchors every meal in protein. And she dialed in the details of the THM Plan to guide her family’s nutrition. Check Out some of the Tools that Helped Her Below!

We are so excited to introduce Coach Amy as the Director of the Coach Program for Trim Healthy Mama!  Today, she joins us to chat about the confidence that comes from small, consistent changes—just like the 1% progress model from Atomic Habits.  We talk about how stacking little wins, one choice at a time, leads to lasting transformation—not just in our health, but in our mindset and confidence too.  If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, this conversation will remind you that consistency, not perfection, is what creates the real change we’re all longing for.

What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on!  The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort,   instead of going to God. Rather than going from sugar-high to sugar-high, it was time to turn back to the Most High!  In this podcast we discuss the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that happened when women joined Wendy and fasted from sugar for 40 days. And how that led to a future life free from sugar’s bondage for so many. (And how that crossed paths with Trim Healthy Mama.) Wendy Speake is the author of multiple books, including The 40-Day Sugar Fast, The 40-Day Social Media Fast,  and The 40-Day Feast. She’s also co-author of the popular parenting book Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle, Biblical Responses. Known for the uncanny way she meets women in their most common struggles, from sugar-addiction to mommy-anger, Wendy uses every opportunity to point readers to the healing and transforming  power found in God's Word.
