From cruise ship chaos to holy moments of healing. In this episode, we start with some real-life as Pearl shares a holiday mishap that turns into laughter, perspective and grace. But the heart of this conversation goes deeper. We talk about receiving the love of God, not striving for it, not earning it, but truly receiving it. Because when we let ourselves rest in His love, real healing begins from the inside out. Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).

We’ve got huge, huge, huge news… and it comes in a small package. Our brand-new book is up for pre-order, and it’s only 160 pages. Don’t raise an eyebrow. This is the 'primer you’ve been waiting for', all our best Trim Healthy wisdom, but packaged into practical daily skills that make healthy living feel doable again. It’s called Seven Skills to Lasting Health, and we did something fun: seven mini-podcasts (one for each skill) so you can start living the skills now—way before the book lands. Because the book doesn’t drop until June, and we wanted you equipped, ready, and already seeing wins. And yes—we didn’t just toss in a few recipes and call it a day. There are 21 recipes in the book, plus professionally filmed recipe videos when you pre-order (big lighting, big cameras… are you proud of us? We’re proud of us). If you’ve been a THM vet, this will refresh your rhythm and make you go, 'Oh my goodness… It’s been this simple all along.' If you’re newer—or you’ve got a friend you’ve been afraid to hand a 'big book' to. This is the perfect share without anybody thinking you joined a cult on the hilltop. In today’s episode, we also get into a hot topic: Blue Zones—those pockets around the world where people live long, strong, and surprisingly carby lives. We break down what they actually eat (spoiler: it’s not the standard American carb chaos), why fermented foods matter so much, what protein looks like “the longevity way,” and why walking is wonderful… but not the whole story. And then we wrap it all up with the secret sauce nobody wants to talk about until they’re tired and honest: community—the kind that keeps you alive, even when it comes with quirks, sparks, and learning how to love people anyway. So come hang with us—Pearl, Serene, and Danny—while we broadcast the rebel signal for better health to every home… and maybe become 'blue zoners' wherever you live.

In this episode of The Poddy, we talk about what it really means to contend — not from hustle, striving, or anxiety, but from a place of rest, faith, and hope.We share why we refuse to settle for halfway living in our health, inner peace, marriages, aging, and walk with God. Contending doesn’t mean pressure or burnout. It means deciding that “fine” isn’t the finish line — and believing fullness is still possible.In this conversation, we touch on: • Why comfort was never meant to be the goal • How our minds can cultivate peace instead of fear • Why inner peace is built, not stumbled upon • How rest becomes the real power source • Breaking cycles of anxiety and quiet settling • Contending in marriage, even when it’s not easy • Why gratitude changes everything • The long game of love, commitment, and fantastic aging • How faith and health work together when we choose to contendAs always, we take a few classic rabbit trails along the way — including some thoughts on why certain body parts people once considered “useless” might matter more than we’ve been told.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “okay” but know there’s more, this episode is an invitation to contend — not with stress, but with hope.Tune in and remember: the abundant life isn’t passive, and fullness is worth fighting for — from rest.

For decades, Haley tried everything—diet pills, starvation, counting points, quick fixes. Nothing lasted.Sugar still had a grip. Inflammation kept building. Migraines, brain fog, stiffness, and exhaustion became her “normal.” By her late 30s, she quietly believed this was just aging.In this episode of Transformation Stories, Haley shares how small, sustainable changes—starting with breakfast—led to food freedom, clarity, and lasting health. She didn’t chase weight loss… yet 40–50 pounds fell off naturally, and she’s kept it off for 13 years through hormones, motherhood, and real life.If you’ve ever thought “I’ve tried everything” or “it’s too late,” this story will change how you see what’s possible. Subscribe for more Transformation Stories and share this with a friend who needs hope today.

What if nothing is “wrong”… it’s just not finished yet? If you’ve been showing up, doing the right things, choosing wisdom—and still wondering why the results feel invisible—this episode is for you. Today’s Patient Potty is all about patience as a skill, not a personality trait. We talk about why real, lasting change often looks painfully slow at first—and how God, nature, and even our own bodies are wired for long games, not instant wins. We open with Scripture on endurance and hope, then zoom out to powerful reminders from history and nature: bamboo that grows roots for years before shooting up overnight, sequoias that take centuries to tower, fruit trees that refuse to be rushed. Along the way, we share real-life “slow mastery” stories—strength training that finally pays off in real moments, metabolism changes you can’t see day-to-day, learning singular focus, navigating the fine line between help and control in marriage, and the quiet confidence that comes from staying planted. And yes… we also have huge news in a small package:Seven Skills to Lasting Health is officially available for pre-order—a short, doable THM primer designed to make consistency feel possible again. Pre-order bonuses include 7 mini-podcasts and professionally filmed recipe videos to help you start right away.If you’ve been tempted to quit because progress feels slow, this episode is your reminder:The harvest doesn’t come early—but it always comes on time. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s discouraged, and keep going.You’re not behind—you’re building roots.

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.
