23. Party of One: Dining, Traveling and Living Solo
38:04||Ep. 23Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 23, we are a table of one, a reservation for one, a home all our own: we are talking about doing things alone, namely dining, traveling and living. I’ve been thinking of this episode topic for awhile, as someone who really enjoys spending time by myself.Now, I have personally felt the difference between being alone and on my own vs. being incredibly lonely and sad, so I totally acknowledge the difference and empathize with people who are feeling alone by default right now, but I want to focus today on the joy of spending time with yourself and how to make the most of eating, exploring and building a home by yourself.+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Kacey Musgraves; Loneliest GirlFall Flicks 2026 movie schedule!Autumn Crisp green grapesChelsea Zeferina's YouTube channel and InstagramMolly WizenbergZoe Rose FriesenLane 8Sex and The City: Secret Single BehaviorDin Tai Fung
22. Habits and Hyperfixations
44:02||Ep. 22Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 22, we are talking about habits and hyperfixations. Habits run in the background for me, while hyperfixations feel almost magnetic- they love to wrap me around their finger and say, “do you like surprises? Okay! Come with me!” I’ve got good habits, bad habits, and man do I have a list of some hyperfixations that have been a mix of weird, a mix of helpful, a mix of “what was I thinking?” Today is less me talking about building good habits vs. bad, self-diagnosis, or how to pull yourself out of a hyperfixation wormhole, and more just being open and giggling a bit about the things I do, things I don’t do, and things I REALLY do.+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:LA Minimalist- account no longer on Instagram but Annie was amazing!Thrifty ice creamThrifty ice cream scooperMare Wood- "your overstimulated chic bestie"The biggest pill organizer you've ever seenSwig drink orders from the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
21. Taste Test: Weird Food Combos & Empties
53:04||Ep. 21Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 21, we are doing our monthly taste test, where I taste test something fun! I saw a social media trend going around of "weird" food combinations. Not in the sense of unusual food concoctions like pickles and peanut butter, more so ingredients paired together that trick your brain into thinking they are something they are not. I’ve also got a fun topic paired with the taste test today, I’m calling it EMPTIES. We are going to go over recent home, food and beauty products I finished and if I would repurchase them or not. A fun, simple, relaxing episode.+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Halloween marketJoe Spencer dollsWeird food combos inspired by Social SamiEpisode 5- Taste Test: TJ’s items and My TJ's CareerEpisode 6- How I Clean My HouseEpisode 10- Aging, Beauty and Shower GelMany products mentioned, both that I'd repurchase and not repurchase!

20. My Year of Sobriety
37:37||Ep. 20Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 20, we are talking about a milestone- in just a few days, I am hitting my one year mark of sobriety. For almost 365 days, I have been saying no to drinking alcohol and I have some experiences, thoughts and feelings to share! I really don’t have advice or tips, as I am so not an expert on this, so today’s episode will just be story time! I’ll explore what started out as sober curiosity and turned into bigger realizations about myself. Today we are going to cover:-Memory lane: what did my drinking past look like?-What happened, what changed, what’s next?-Sobriety bingo- what’s on the card you may ask?- firsts, lasts, and things I’ll never miss again!+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Bereavement: Studies of Grief in Adult Life (also available online in the newer edition)Trader Joe's frozen toaster wafflesTaste Test: H-Mart & Hot TakesCroissant breadTrader Joe's Vanilla SugarFruit RiotUchi
Family News; New Episode on 9/17
03:05|Hi, thanks for tuning into Bedtime Snack. Rachel here, and today is actually not a full episode, rather a quick check in and to share some family news. With much sadness, I wanted to share that my dear cousin Danna and her two young sons tragically lost their lives in a devastating plane accident. Her husband Craig lived through the crash initially but has since passed away. They are survived by their two older, teenage children. There are no words for what these two kids are facing. They’ve lost their mom, their dad, and their two little brothers.I’m taking the week to be with family, attend services, and grieve this unimaginable loss with them. I appreciate the time to take a little break. Next week, on Thursday the 17th, there will be a fresh episode for you, all about my hitting a year of sobriety.Until then, I will really try to remember to take a breath, take care and unclench my jaw. Those things seem so little compared to the tragedy life can throw at you, but they, along with love and support and community, really can do a lot during a difficult moment.Thanks for keeping my family in your thoughts. I’ll miss you, and I’ll be right back.
