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.

Ep. 462 From Defeated to Hopeful: Real breakthroughs in life, hormones and weight with Coach Kris
2025/12/02 | 1h
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”).

Ep. 461 The Thyroid Episode Every Woman Over 30 MUST Hear
2025/11/25 | 55 mins.
If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” while you’re dragging through the day, freezing in the summer, losing hair, gaining weight, or feeling like you are walking through mud, this Poddy is for you. Today we’re sitting down with our dear friend Jess Meyers. Many of you know her as our long-time community manager, and now as “Kiaora Jess.” She lost 150 pounds on Trim Healthy Mama, but the final breakthrough in her health and metabolism did not happen until she addressed one huge missing piece: her thyroid. In this episode we talk about: Why so many women are told they’re “fine” when their thyroid is absolutely not fine. The difference between “in range” and optimized thyroid numbers. The symptoms nobody connects to thyroid: cold all the time, constipation, crashes and naps, brain fog, dry eyes, puffiness, hair thinning, slow weight loss or no weight loss at all. How the Kiora thyroid program was built over more than two years of testing, refining, and caring for real women in real bodies. Powerful stories from women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s who are now experiencing steady energy, better sleep, better moods, warmer body temps, stronger hair and nails, easier weight loss or maintenance, and even renewed joy and desire in their marriages. We’re not doctors, just three women sharing our journeys of being dismissed, fighting to be heard, and finally getting thyroid help that actually moved the needle. If you’re tired of being told “you’re normal” while everything in your body screams that you’re not, pull up a chair, mama. You are not crazy. You are not lazy. You just need the right support, the right tests, and the right treatment. This is the thyroid Poddy we wish we could have listened to years ago.
