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.

Between the family gatherings, get-togethers with friends, and work- or community-related parties, it often feels like we’re jumping from one holiday eating occasion to the next. And if you’re like us, that also might mean some stress and even guilt about indulging in less healthy foods—and what you might have to deal with in January. In today’s episode, we’re talking about holiday weight gain (it’s a lot less than you probably think!), and how to ditch the holiday guilt.

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? The week between Christmas and New Year’s. Can you relate? If not, she still feels better.

There’s a noise trend going on. Check out YouTube, Spotify playlist, even your iPhone home screen and you’ll find it. We’re talking about colored noises like white, brown, and pink noises. They’re touted as being able to help increase your focus, productivity, and sleep quality. And now that we’ve tried them, we swear by the productivity effects that brown noise has when we need to tackle a work project. What are these noises, and can they help you?

A cancer diagnosis comes into your life suddenly and unexpectedly—even if you aren’t the patient. In the days, weeks, and months that follow there’s a lot that unfolds from diagnosis to treatment. When you’re not the patient, it may be a little unnerving to know how best to support your family member or friend who has cancer. What should you say or do? What should you not say or do? In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Regan Jones, host of the podcast This Unmillenial Life who went through her own cancer battle in 2021. We’re asking her advice on how to best support someone with cancer.
