Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.

The PTSD Episode
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Carolyn has been in therapy for PTSD, yet she didn’t serve in the military and she wasn’t assaulted. Turns out, trauma comes in many different forms and, as in her case, the effects can stick around for a while. And even rear their ugly head months or years later in both mental and physical symptoms. In today’s episode, we’re talking with PTSD expert and registered dietitian Jess Cording to help us understand trauma and how to recognize it and heal.

Rant Therapy - I’m So Over Facebook Moms
Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.
Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.
What’s Carolyn “so over” this week? Facebook Moms!

What’s Coming in 2024, by Astrological Sign
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
For some of us, when life feels out of control, leaning into astrology may help us regain a sense of purpose and control. And lately I’ve needed that. If you’re like me then you may have seen that 2024 is supposed to be a big year for most—perhaps all—of the Zodiac signs. Well, that really peaked our interest and so we reached out to our favorite astrologer, Valeria Mesa. In today’s episode, she walks us through each of the Zodiac signs, starting with Aries, and shares what each sign can expect to experience this year. Let’s dive in.
