Rant Therapy - I’m So Over Tipping People! Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

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 is Brierley so over by this week?

The Truth About Holiday Weight Gain!! Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

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.
