In this episode of Truth & Pink, Sarah and Channa are back with full-on truth confessions energy—talking holiday chaos, questionable vices, weird emotional attachments to… boxes and peppermint hearts?!—and why this whole season is basically one big “20” in the 80/20 rule. From dropping trash TV (goodbye Mormon smut 👋) to re-recording an episode that “just didn’t vibe,” the "Truth Babes" keep it real about habits, stress, and why self-discipline > motivation when life gets messy.
You’ll hear us chat about:
- 🎙️ Creator’s prerogative – scrapping an episode that felt off and rerecording it with better energy (because vibes matter).
- 📺 Dropping the smut – Brandi’s feedback that finally made Sarah quit the Mormon reality rabbit hole and reclaim a few brain cells.
- 👵 “Grandma” hobbies & future merch – Channa’s beanie-knitting obsession, dreams of pink-and-black Truth & Pink hats, and Jeff’s custom leather tags.
- 🍗 Holiday season survival – distracted eating, “walk with purpose,” parking far(ish) away (but not next to Joanna), and making movement count without extra guilt.
- 🥂 Vices, stress & the 80/20 rule – why this whole month might be your “20,” how alcohol, sugar, and habits sneak in, and finding healthier outlets like baths, water, and actual rest.
- 📚 Atomic Habits & tiny steps – breaking down triggers, building better habits, and the difference between motivation and self-discipline (hello, 21-day habit window).
- 📦 Hoarding, boxes & sentimental chaos – from Primal Queen peppermint hearts to Apple boxes, kid artwork, and grandparents who save everything (including dryer lint for “future paper”).
- 🧹 Decluttering & ‘does it spark joy?’ – laughing about the declutter trend, what we think we’ll use again, and why some of us would say “yep, it all sparks joy, we’re keeping it.”
- 🎢 Disney days & cougar puberty – Disneyland in the rain, walking 14–16 miles, turtleneck shaming, standing vs walking pain, and perimenopause thermostat wars.
- 🙊 Truth Confessions & Joanna’s Confessions – plans to start an anonymous confession segment where everything is signed “Joanna” so nobody knows who’s who 👀
We wrap things up with:
- A reminder to give yourself grace this holiday season.
- Permission to enjoy the treats—just maybe balance them with water, walks, and a bit of awareness.
- A tease for upcoming episodes on holiday gift go-tos and a big hormone deep-dive (Primal Queen girlies, we see you 👑).
💌 Want to play along?
Send us your anonymous Truth Confessions (we’ll read them on air with no names—just signed “Joanna”).
And if you’ve started Primal Queen, tell us how you’re feeling so we can shout you out and weave hormones into an upcoming episode.
Thanks for hanging out with us, truth babes. Declutter a drawer, ditch a vice (or don’t), and remember: some of your chaos totally counts as cardio. 💗🖤
