One Cookie Is Not a Personality Test: Self-Talk, Food Guilt & the Positive Words Challenge

One Cookie Is Not a Personality Test: Self-Talk, Food Guilt & the Positive Words Challenge

One cookie becomes “I have no control.” One missed workout becomes “I never stick with anything.” A rough body-image moment turns into a full character evaluation before you’ve even had coffee. In this episode of Food Freedom Rebellion, we’re taking on the Positive Words Challenge — not as fake positivity, not as affirmations you don’t believe, and definitely not as pretending everything is fine. We’re looking at the sentence that comes after the slip, the craving, the missed workout, or the uncomfortable mirror moment. Bonni and Kerri break down how self-talk shapes the next decision you make, why harsh language often hides the actual problem, and how to replace broad labels like “lazy,” “bad,” or “out of control” with language that gives you something useful to work with. 🔗 Links & Resources Juice Plus Healthy Starts With a qualifying adult Juice Plus order, the Healthy Starts program allows kids to receive their fruit and vegetable gummies or capsules at no product cost.

The Eat-the-Rainbow Challenge for Gut Health & Energy

You can eat vegetables every day and still have a surprisingly limited diet. In this episode of the Food Freedom Rebellion, Bonni and Kerri break down why food variety matters—and why “eating healthy” can still leave major gaps when you rotate through the same few foods again and again. This week’s challenge is simple: eat at least one fruit or vegetable from each color group throughout the week. 🔗 Links & Resources Primal Kitchen Primal Kitchen is one of our favorite sources for sauces, dressings, condiments, and dairy-free options made with simpler ingredients.

Why You Never Have Time for Yourself: Time Blocking for Real Life

You keep saying you’ll work out, eat lunch, prepare food, or take a break when you get the chance—but somehow that chance never comes. In this episode of the Food Freedom Rebellion, Bonni and Kerri break down how time blocking can help you protect the things that matter without cramming even more into an already overloaded schedule. This isn’t about creating a perfect color-coded calendar or scheduling every minute of your life. It’s about making realistic decisions before you’re tired, hungry, rushed, and trying to manage everyone else’s needs. 🔗 Links & Resources Detox Desserts Detox Desserts makes dairy-free baking simpler with products like their Sweet Butter Swap, designed to replace butter one-for-one in the recipes you already use.

Balance Training for Stability, Core Strength & Confidence

If standing on one leg feels shakier than it used to, your body may be telling you that balance needs more attention. In this episode of the Food Freedom Rebellion, Bonni and Kerri break down why balance matters long before you start worrying about falls—and why doing hundreds of crunches doesn’t automatically give you a strong, functional core. This week’s challenge is simple: choose a different balance exercise each day and spend just a few minutes practicing it safely. 🔗 Links & Resources Trinity Tallow Trinity Tallow creates simple, nourishing skincare made with tallow and thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

Is Your Gut Triggering Cravings? Probiotic Foods for Bloating, Mood & Energy

Could your gut be affecting more than your digestion? In this episode of the Food Freedom Rebellion, Bonni and Kerri explore the connection between gut health, bloating, cravings, mood, energy, and the gut-brain connection—without turning wellness into a complicated full-time job. This week’s challenge is simple: add one probiotic-rich or fermented food to your day and notice how your body responds. 🔗 Links & Resources Primal Kitchen Primal Kitchen is one of our favorite sources for sauces, dressings, condiments, and dairy-free options made with simpler ingredients.
