About this listen

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.Copyright 2021 All rights reserved.

  • People Magazine’s Astrologer: What’s Coming in 2026 by Astrological Sign
    Feb 6 2026

    For some of us, when life feels a little uncertain, leaning into astrology may help us regain a sense of purpose and control. And lately, I’ve needed that. So if you’re like me, and you too have been curious about what’s in store for 2026, then this episode is for you. We reached out to our favorite astrologer, Valerie Mesa, who is also the go-to astrologer for People Magazine. She walks us through each zodiac sign, starting with Aries and ending with Pisces, and shares what each sign can expect this year. Let’s dive in!

  • Rant Therapy: Heated Rivalry
    Feb 3 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”.
