Ever stop and wonder what the heck we were eating as kids? From unnaturally bright cheese dust to drinks that could probably double as science experiments, the 80s, 90s, and 00s were full of weird, processed, and questionably edible creations. In this episode of Hodgy Podgy Podcast, we’re diving into the wild world of childhood snacks—those neon-colored, sugar-packed, and borderline radioactive foods we couldn’t get enough of. From Lunchables to cheese in a can, let’s relive the days when nutrition labels were just a suggestion and everything came in an extreme flavor. Buckle up for a hilarious and nostalgic ride through the snack aisle of our youth!

Raising kids is hard enough, but when you’re carrying the weight of your own trauma—whether from childhood, adulthood, or both—it adds another layer of complexity. In this episode, I open up about my own experiences, especially with my mom, who was my main parent. She made her fair share of mistakes, but my sisters and I learned from them. This one gets emotional as I reflect on breaking cycles, the struggles of parenting through past wounds, and the lessons we take with us. If you’ve ever wondered how your past shapes the way you parent, you’re not alone.
