Hey truth babes! We’re back with another wildly unfiltered episode of Truth & Pink, and let’s just say… the spice level is HIGH. 🌶️ Sarah and Channa are rolling in hot, and together they are raising a little hell, questioning everything, and laughing way too hard along the way.

This episode kicks off with some serious boxing energy (because sometimes life just needs a good punch 🥊), a whole lot of workout talk, fasted-fueled sass, macro math madness, and nostalgic throwbacks to cinnamon toast mornings, sack lunches, vending machines, and pizza day glory. Honestly… the childhood memories alone might make you hungry. 🍞✨

Then things get real-fun-real fast as we spiral into Gen X life, redefining what 40+ actually looks like (spoiler alert: we are NOT the Golden Girls), TV moms we relate to, parenting shifts, messy schedules, loving our kids fiercely, and embracing the chaos of real life instead of pretending we’ve got it all together. 💕

And of course… we absolutely cannot resist diving into celebrity crush confessions, reality-show level commentary, playful shade, best-friend banter, and a little harmless delusion sprinkled in for fun. 😏🍿

We also touch on friendships, boundaries, healing trauma responses, learning to say “no” without apologizing, and why real friendships don’t require over-explaining or shrinking yourself to make others comfortable. Growth, babes. Growth. ✨

This is Part 1 of a two-part episode, so buckle up — the chaos, laughs, and real talk are just getting started.

Hit play, grab your coffee (or cinnamon toast 😉), and come hang with Sarah and Channa. 💖🔥

Hey truth babes 💖🖤 New episode of Truth & Pink, Episode 18—where the vibes are semi-pink, semi-black, and the chaos is always invited (but only if it’s cute).

This week, Sarah is fresh off her first dance class adventure and let’s just say… the outfit expectations were high, but the real win was showing up, moving her body, and surviving the “pop that booty” moment without spontaneously combusting. 😂

The real glow-up wasn’t the wardrobe… it was the dopamine hit. 🧠✨ Sarah talks about learning choreography in real time, how it wakes your brain up (hello synapses!), and how the slow cooldown felt like the kind of emotional release that sneaks up on you when you finally let your body breathe.

And in true Truth & Pink fashion, Channa is over here low-key jealous, fully convinced this whole experience was “Black Channa vibes” to a tee, and already plotting a visit—because what’s better than dance class? A dance class together, followed by a podcast recorded in the same room and a TikTok routine that absolutely gives the people what they want. 😏

Then we whip the conversation into a totally unserious-but-deeply-relatable detour: gas prices. ⛽️ Why is everybody being punished? Why are taxes out here multiplying like gremlins? And is using Costco gas with a gift card… illegal, or just ✨resourceful✨? (No authorities were alerted during the making of this episode.)

And because we’re not just flirty—we’re also functional—Channa shares what she’s doing this week: a fast-mimicking reset using ProLon, designed to mimic a water fast while still giving your body low-glycemic, easy-to-digest fuel. She breaks down the vibe: tiny labeled boxes, soups, crackers, olives (and if you hate olives… RIP), low energy on day three, and the goal of hitting autophagy—aka your body’s internal spring cleaning where it recycles damaged cells. The big win isn’t just weight loss—it’s the mental reset, the sugar craving interruption, and that “I’m recommitting to myself” click that Channa knows she needs sometimes.

Naturally, the convo turns into a mini wellness coach moment (Sarah can't help herself)—talking perfectionism, grace, and how we’re all so good at hyping everyone else up but ruthless with ourselves. You’ll hear the real talk about not labeling a moment as a “failure,” how to get back on track without shame, and why one imperfect choice doesn’t mean you burn the whole day down.

Bonus: Channa shares the cutest moment with Keegan wanting to go for a walk—proof that modeling habits matters, and connection makes it easier. 🥹

And then we slide into the spicy side of life-in-the-chaos: nurse life + dark humor + trauma work. 🏥 Channa talks about loving emergency medicine because she thrives in the go-go-go, shares how accurate the show The Pitt feels, and gets real about what it’s like in a teaching hospital where nurses and residents are in constant choreography of their own. There’s a serious moment when she mentions a traumatic case (kept appropriately vague), and a meaningful conversation about why healthcare workers develop dark humor—not because they don’t care, but because it’s how they survive what they see every day.

Basically? Episode 18 is dance class dopamine, Costco loopholes, cellular resets, and the kind of girl-talk that swings from booty pops to autophagy to trauma-bay reality without even blinking. 💋

Heyyy Truth & Pink babes 💕✨ Episode 17 is basically: birthday month delusion, Gen X glow-ups, trying new things in public (terrifying), and snowboarding in chaos-mode… but make it cute.

Sarah and Channa kick it off with big “I’m 25” energy (aka birthday month math 😂🎂), talking about how certain ages just hit different—like the ones where you actually feel hot, confident, and fully yourself. They’re both in that era of celebrating the heck out of life… and also realizing time is sprinting by like it’s late for brunch.

From there, it turns into a full-on “doom scroll is dead” manifesto 📵😵‍💫. They’re over the phone vortex and trying to replace it with healthier escapes—reruns, nostalgia, reading, knitting, literally anything that doesn’t steal your soul. The My Girl trauma gets dragged right back to the surface (WHERE ARE HIS GLASSES?! 😭) and suddenly we’re all crying in the kitchen together.

Then we get into the “TRYING NEW THINGS” chapter… and honestly, it’s giving wholesome chaos in the best way 💅💪. Sarah finally shows up to a women’s golf event (after talking herself out of it a million times), discovers it’s actually supportive and fun, and bonds with the group over blaming every bad shot on the Santa Ana winds 🌬️🏌️‍♀️. And because we love a Gen X reinvention moment, Channa talks of ClassPass as the new “buffet of workouts”—yoga, reformer, cycling, red light, sauna… basically a variety pack for your nervous system.

.Sarah also gets real for a moment (because Truth Babes, we don’t sugarcoat) 🖤: seeing herself on camera brought on an ugly cry spiral and a “this is my reality right now… but it doesn’t have to stay here” pep talk. It’s that reminder that confidence isn’t always automatic, but discipline + fun + movement + music can be a whole reset button 🎶✨.

And speaking of movement… we get the full snowboarding trip recap from Channa 🏔️🥶🍻: snow dumping 15 inches, white-knuckle driving, macho truck dudes sliding into ditches (the wives were NOT impressed 😬), and the kind of visibility where the trees literally disappear and reappear like a haunted Pinterest board. Channa debuts new boots (and admits she ignored the insert pieces like she was “too cool for school”… and her ankle was like LOL no 🥲).

But the highlight? The sweetest dad/daughter snowboard moment ever 🥹💗. Keegan struggles hard in the powder, gets stuck repeatedly, and there’s a whole “sinking into the snow up to my cooch” moment that will live in Truth & Pink history forever 😭❄️. Then Jeffrey steps in and basically dances down the hill with her, board-to-board, holding hands, coaching her turns, building confidence, and giving us all emotional damage in the cutest way.

Ending vibes: if you’re laughing at yourself, trying something new, being brave in fishnets, or learning to trade doom scroll for actual joy… you’re doing it right, babes 💕✨ See you next week for the dance class outfit report and the full “did Sarah survive hip hop tribe?” breakdown.

Happy New Year, Truth Babes! We’re officially back from the holiday chaos and sliding into 2026 exactly how we do best—laughing, oversharing, questioning resolutions, and reminding everyone that perfection is wildly overrated. This episode is equal parts catch-up, real talk, and the kind of conversation that feels like sitting on the couch with your best friend while the world burns quietly in the background. 🔥😌

We kick things off talking about the pressure of “New Year, New Me” and why traditional resolutions make us want to immediately rebel. Instead of rigid rules, we’re leaning into lists, intentions, resets, and whatever actually feels doable without spiraling into paralysis. Health, happiness, fulfillment… yes please—but let’s break it down into something that doesn’t sound like “world peace and long walks on the beach.” 🙄🌊

Big, exciting life updates make an appearance, including Sarah stepping into a powerful new chapter in her wellness journey (cue proud best friend energy 🥹). We talk about why growth can be exciting and terrifying at the same time, how data nerds thrive, and why evolving from one-to-many into deeper one-on-one work can feel like a whole identity shift.

Somewhere between deep conversations, we get wildly distracted—because obviously—and spiral into tech rants, missing remotes, refusing to download “just one more app,” and accepting that sometimes the lights just aren’t coming on and that’s fine. 💡🚫

The holiday recap includes rainy Southern California and Las Vegas Christmas vibes, late-night sushi chaos, inhaling an irresponsible amount of food in under 40 minutes, and the underrated joy of having absolutely nowhere to be. We also talk about why winter is meant for hibernation, rest, and reset—not hustle—and why feeling unmotivated right now doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. 💤❄️

Words for the year? That’s a whole journey. Multiple words are chosen (because rules are fake), including resilience, strength, peace, maturity (debatable), and most importantly—playfulness. We unpack what it actually means to be playful as an adult, how routines can keep us safe but also shrink time, and why shaking things up helps our brains feel alive again. 🧠✨

Friendship gets real-real in this episode. We talk about choosing people who bring value without toxicity, why girl crews matter, and the sacred art of venting without being “fixed.” Sometimes you don’t want logic—you want loyalty. Sometimes you just need someone to say, “Whose car are we taking?” 🚗🔥

Mood boosters are debated (and judged), including shopping, getting dressed up, perfume, acts of service, and the very honest acknowledgment that different things work for different people—and that’s okay. We also dig into routines vs spontaneity, why clutter messes with our nervous systems, and how decluttering your space can declutter your mind. 🧺🕊️

Phones, scrolling, presence, parenting, tangible media, DVDs making a comeback, anti-AI teens, decision fatigue, and why “just tell me what’s for dinner” is not too much to ask—this episode covers it all. It’s messy, thoughtful, hilarious, validating, and exactly the kind of conversation you didn’t know you needed to hear as the year begins. 📱➡️📚

We wrap it all up with love for our Truth Babes, a reminder that resets don’t have to be perfect, and a promise to keep unpacking the why behind our choices in upcoming episodes. Send us your words. Send us your thoughts. Leave a review if you love us, like us, or even mildly tolerate us. We’ll take it. 💕😏

Until next time—stay playful, and protect your peace,

XOXO Truth & Pink. 💖✨

XOXO Truth & Pink

Hey babes, welcome back to another chaotic, cozy week in the Truth & Pink universe. 💕 In this episode, Channa and Sarah grab the mic (and maybe a mood light or two) to drop some serious truth bombs about, the removal of the black box warning on HRT, and the tidal wave of misinformation flooding the wellness space.

We start with the real talk: women are never not going through something. Puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause—we are constantly riding the hormone rollercoaster while being told to “suck it up” or handed a prescription for antidepressants. 💊✨

From there, Channa and Sarah dive into what’s been driving them absolutely wild lately: ➡️ The black box warning (the boldest, highest-level FDA warning) was removed from HRT… ➡️ But the scary stuff—heart attack, stroke, and cancer risks—is still listed. It’s just quietly moved down into the “side effects” section. ➡️ Meanwhile, influencers are out here screaming, “We’ve been lied to for 20 years, HRT is totally safe now!” as if the risks magically vanished. Spoiler alert: they didn’t.

The ladies unpack:

• How the original HRT studies 20+ years ago led to the black box warning in the first place

• Why the recent “reinterpretation” of that data doesn’t mean the risks disappeared

• How HRT is now being sold like a one-size-fits-all hormone salvation, with very little conversation about actual lab work, hormone levels, or individual needs

Sarah shares how estrogen dominance nearly wrecked her health and why slapping more estrogen onto an already estrogen-soaked system is a disaster waiting to happen. Channa talks about her own experience experimenting with progesterone cream, feeling amazing, and then finally getting her hormones tested—only to learn her estrogen was already optimized, and more would have thrown her completely out of whack.

Together, they break down some hard truths:

• 🚫 You are not broken. Your body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do in each stage of life.

• ⚠️ HRT is not a harmless “youth serum”—especially if you don’t know your baseline levels.

• 🧪 Before jumping on any hormone therapy, you need labs, context, and someone who actually understands hormones, not just a trending reel.

They also go in on:

• The “we’ve been lied to, now HRT will save us all” narrative

• The carrot-salad-and-supplements brigade, promising to “detox estrogen” while selling estrogenic ingredients

• Popular adaptogens like ashwagandha, lion’s mane, milk thistle, wild yam, and why they can be a huge problem for women who are already estrogen dominant

• The reality that there is no quick detox hack for estrogen—step one is always: stop putting it in your body

The conversation zooms out to bigger themes: the broken maintenance side of conventional medicine, the obsession with prescriptions over lifestyle, and the hope for future wellness centers where a nurse practitioner, wellness coach, and nutritionist work together on the whole person—not just the lab values.

All wrapped, of course, in classic Truth & Pink energy: 💬 Real girlfriend talk. 😂 Inappropriate laughter. 🧠 Nerdy hormone knowledge. 💥 Zero tolerance for bullshit.

If you’ve ever felt:

• Dismissed by your doctor

• Gaslit into believing “everything is normal”

• Pressured into HRT without a single lab being drawn

• Or confused by influencers saying “everyone should be on hormones”

…this episode is your permission slip to ask more questions, demand testing, and remember: you’re not broken—you’re just not one-size-fits-all.
