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.

Rant Therapy - I’m So Over Snooty Coffee Shops!
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
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?

Why Adults Friendships Aren’t All 🦄 And 🌈
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Did you know that it’s normal for your circle of friends to change every 7 years? Are you worried about the number of your friendships shrinking? Navigating adult friendships can be very different from when we were on the playground in elementary school. In today’s episode we’re talking with Danielle Bayard Jackson, a friendship coach and TikTok influencer. And if you’re thinking a friendship coach sounds even more frivolous than a life coach, be prepared to think otherwise after you listen to this episode!

Is Adding Electrolytes To Water Really Worth The Hype?
Thursday Sep 15, 2022
Thursday Sep 15, 2022
Electrolyte waters seem to be pretty much everywhere these days. And now electrolyte powders (that you mix into drinks) are popping up more and more. So, this begs the question: are they worth the hype? Can getting in extra electrolytes really help how you feel, think, or even influence whether you’re hungry or not? We brought back registered dietitian Amanda Nighbert to help us sift fact from fiction. Let’s dive in!

Do You Need A ”Work Reset”?
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
What if your boss insisted each year you take a 3 WEEK hiatus from work. No checking email. No work calls whatsoever. Turns out, some companies are doing exactly this. It’s called a work reset. We were so intrigued by the concept that we recruited the CEO of a company that has implemented a work reset to join us for today’s episode and tell us what it is, what inspired it, and what it really looks like now that it’s in motion. And are there any downsides??
Show Notes:
Kristin Carver Smith is the CEO/Founder of The New Fashioned Co., a talent and PR agency that represents bold ideas and brave voices. Kristin has spent the last decade helping clients across a variety of industries–from sports, to music to nonprofits. Her clients have appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s TODAY, CNN, and so many more!
