  • The New Dietary Guidelines: 9 Things That are Spot On, 5 That Are Misses
    Jan 15 2026

    The newest edition of the Dietary Guidelines dropped earlier this month—and if your news feed looks anything like ours, you’ve probably seen a lot of hot takes already. But what’s worth your attention, and what can you safely scroll past? In today’s episode, we break it all down from a dietitian’s perspective: what we love about the new guidelines, what surprised us, what doesn’t quite add up, and—most importantly—what changes you should make at home. Consider this episode your clear and practical guide to the latest Dietary Guidelines. Let’s dive in!

  • Rant Therapy: Getting Kids Out The Door
    Jan 13 2026

    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”.

  • The Soft Reset
    Dec 18 2025

    If the idea of New Year’s resolutions makes you feel exhausted instead of excited, this episode is for you. Making lasting positive changes doesn’t have to be bold or loud or overly ambitious. In fact, research suggests that usually doesn’t work. What does work are small changes, positive thinking, and a dose of flexibility. We’re calling this a soft reset. Let’s dive in!

And since the added stress seems unavoidable, then coping techniques are a necessity. But we didn’t actually want to do this episode and give you the classic canned tips you hear, so we dug deeper and unearthed five truly helpful tactics that we employ and recommend.
