September 30 Is Tracking Helping… or Stressing You Out? | Ep. 506
Are your healthy habits helping you or starting to stress you out?
This week, Bowen and Arden join us to talk about step counts, sleep trackers, workout goals, and finding that balance between discipline and giving yourself some grace. And goodness, we don’t all see it the same way!
We share what motivates us, what overwhelms us, and why the tools that help one person might not work for another. Plus, Pearl shares a personal health victory worth celebrating.
Come join the conversation. There’s room for consistency without making every day a perfect score.

September 23 What Do You Eat When You’re Tired of Everything? | Ep. 505
Tired of eggs? Can’t face another bowl of oatmeal? Let’s talk about what else is on the menu!
This week, Arden joins us to share the meals we’re actually eating from protein packed pancakes to a crispy potato and chocolate shake lunch that felt like a trip through the drive thru.
We also have a little difference of opinion about eating for enjoyment versus eating for results. Does every meal have to be your favorite?
Come join us for fresh ideas, a few unusual food combinations, and plenty of family teasing. Your next favorite meal might be simpler than you think!

September 09 Should We All Just Eat Mediterranean? | Ep. 503
I just got back from Greece and Italy, and between the fresh fish, the beautiful bread, and the olive oil on everything… I had a lot to love!
But you know me. I was also looking around and thinking, if the Mediterranean diet is considered the healthiest diet in the world, why aren’t we all just doing that? Why am I still so sold on Trim Healthy Mama?
This week, Serene and I sit down with our boys, Bowen and Arden, to talk it through. What are they doing so well? What can we learn from them? And where would we take things a little further?
We’re talking about carbs, protein, muscle, and getting older and those lovely little communities where people slow down, enjoy their meals, and actually sit and talk to each other. There’s something beautiful about that.
Of course, we also get into a few family travel stories, and apparently the time we left Bowen at the airport still needs some discussion!
Come join us. There’s a lot to appreciate about the Mediterranean way of life, and plenty to chat about.

September 02 A Tale of Two Blood Sugars | Ep. 502
In this episode, Pearl shares a very personal tale about her blood sugar and the unexpected turn it took as she entered menopause.
For years, her numbers looked great while living the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. But as time went on, something began to change. Even though she was still eating well and doing what had always worked for her, her A1C kept moving in the wrong direction.
A doctor gave her two pieces of advice. One she took. The other sent her down a completely different path.
We’re talking about blood sugar, muscle, protein, carbohydrates, aging, and why sometimes the answer isn’t simply eating less or cutting out another food group. Pearl also shares what this journey taught her about strength training, starting imperfectly, and refusing to let intimidation keep you from building a healthier future.
If you’ve ever wondered why your body seems to respond differently as you get older or felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing the results you expect this is one you’ll want to hear.

August 26 When the Number Isn’t the Goal Anymore | Ep. 501
What happens when you finally reach the number you’ve been chasing… and suddenly realize you still need a reason to keep going?
In this episode, Serene, Bowen, and Arden talk about what comes after goal weight and why lasting health has to become about so much more than a number on the scale or a clothing size.
We’re talking about shifting from motivation to identity, finding new reasons to care for your body, recognizing the victories that have nothing to do with weight, and creating habits that can carry you through busy seasons, celebrations, setbacks, and everyday life.
Because the goal was never just to arrive at a certain number. It’s about building a life where caring for your health becomes part of who you are.
If you’ve reached your goal, feel stuck chasing one, or simply need a fresh “why” for your health journey, this conversation is for you.

August 19 500 Episodes Later: What We Got Wrong (and What We’ve Learned)
We made it to 500 episodes!
For this special milestone episode, we’re looking back at the Trim Healthy Mama journey what has stayed true from the very beginning, what we’ve learned along the way, and some of the things we would teach a little differently today.
Bowen and Arden join us with questions about how the plan has grown over the years, why we talk more about protein, carbs, muscle, and metabolic health now, and how we’ve worked to bring THM back to what it was always meant to be: a lifestyle full of grace, wisdom, freedom, and room to grow.
We also talk about the shift from rules to skills, why everyone’s Trim Healthy journey can look a little different, and what we hope women feel more free to do after all these years.
Most of all, this episode is a thank-you to every woman who has listened, learned, laughed, and grown with us along the way. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found us recently, we are so grateful you’re part of this THM family.
Here’s to 500 episodes and plenty more to come!

August 13 Budget Supplements We Trust: What’s Inexpensive, Powerful, and Worth It? | Ep. 499
In this episode, we’re talking supplements but with a budget in mind.
It can feel like every time you turn around, there’s another pill, powder, gummy, or “must have” product telling you that you need it to be healthy. We want to simplify all of that.
We’re sharing how we think about supplements when money is tight, what we would prioritize first, what we think is actually worth spending on, and where you may be able to save your money. We also talk about the basics that should come before supplements and why healthy living does not have to become an expensive monthly subscription.
This is a practical, honest conversation about keeping things simple, filling the gaps when needed, and remembering that the foundations of health still matter most.
If you’ve ever looked at your supplement cabinet and wondered, “Do I really need all of this?” this episode is for you.

August 06 Hit a 3 Year Stall, Then Lost 130 Pounds | Ep. 498
In this episode, Pearl is joined by Coach KJ for an honest conversation about the highs, lows, and unexpected turns of her Trim Healthy Mama journey.
KJ shares what it was like to struggle with food addiction, experience a long and discouraging weight loss stall, and continue encouraging other women while privately wondering why her own body was no longer responding. She also opens up about trying a GLP-1, her longtime resistance to exercise, and the moment she realized she may need to approach her health in an entirely different way.
Pearl and KJ talk about strength training, nourishing carbohydrates, hormones, consistency, and why caring for your muscles is about so much more than burning calories or reaching a certain number on the scale.
Whether you feel stuck, intimidated by exercise, or simply need encouragement to keep going, KJ’s vulnerability and hard earned wisdom will remind you that your story is not over and sometimes the very thing you have been avoiding may become part of your breakthrough.
