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”.

If you hear the word peptide and wonder what we’re talking about, let us reassure you: You probably already know what a peptide is. But the ways you can use, or benefit from, peptides is increasingly diverse. In today’s episode, we’re focusing on so-called therapeutic peptides. They’re touted as boosting lean muscle mass, supporting your gut microbiome, alleviating joint pain, decreasing inflammation, and more. In fact, the booming peptide industry has been described as the Wild West of Wellness. So, what are peptides? How are they used? What are some of the most common ones? We answer all of those questions. Let’s dive in.

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!

In today’s world we don’t have to seek out information—it’s constantly thrown at us through all of our devices. This means we are exposed to a relentless stream of information that’s not always accurate, hijacking our attention capacity. The solution? Critical ignoring—something that researchers say is now a critical component of our critical thinking ability. If there’s one skill you develop this year, this is it. In today’s episode, we explain what critical ignoring is and three ways to start doing it.
