190 Serene Allison & Pearl Barrett: Stop Making It So Hard

Apr 17, 2018

Being healthy doesn't have to be this difficult challenge every day. I can make it easier for myself to live a healthier life by taking baby steps and focusing on basic things. I have to remind myself that working hard at being healthy doesn't have to be miserable. As we go through different phases of our lives, being healthy is a never-ending journey. Don't over-complicate being healthy because life is about enjoying the moment; it's not about ticking off that perfect box. - Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett

How can you balance your time between taking care of your family, pursuing a career, and following a healthy lifestyle that matches your unique personality?

Power Quotes From The Show

"Don't force the trim. We don't want you to solely focus on trimming or forcing the healthy part of Trim Healthy Mama. Healthy weight loss needs to take its own good time." - Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett of @TrimHealthyMama http://bit.ly/wfpodcast

"I was obsessed with being healthy and being that strict actually wasn't allowing me to be healthy. I now realize that I made a lot of errors and I had no freedom in how I was living my life. Pearl taught me how to relax and because of that, I was able to regain my health. I used to have full on adrenal fatigue and I was becoming so sick until I started to just relax a bit more." - Serene Allison

"As women, we obsess with being healthy because we also have a lot of insecurities thanks to the perfection portrayed in magazines. This perfection that we think we have to obtain in order to have security and to be enough for somebody, it doesn't have to be this way. You're already enough for who you are. We all have a duty to feel healthy and alive, but we don't have to reach for what's impossible." - Serene Allison

"We find that with women, whether they're nursing, pregnant, or trying to lose weight, protein is key. It's important for substance and to be able to keep that blood sugar under control. Eating enough protein will help you feel satiated until the next meal without wanting to go for the Goldfish crackers." - Pearl Barrett

"We aren't designed to protect ourselves. We're designed to give, give, and give. We all try our best to live healthy lifestyles, but if we solely focus on that and don't balance it out by giving to others, then we're not doing enough. I feel like we're not really celebrating the bodies that we have that are able to go through difficult moments and sacrifices unless we're willing to give to others." - Serene Allison 

"I don't have to naturally be anxious or nervous. The scripture says, 'Take every thought captive.' Our thoughts are speaking to us all day and my negative thoughts about the future were constantly wearing down on my health. I realized that the way I think becomes who I am. So, now I take those thoughts captive and I don't allow them to come in and affect my way of life. My body is here to be healed and I am worthy of treating myself with respect and love." - Pearl Barrett
