Episode 5 - Courtney Compton Herrera

Welcome to the comeback of Snaccs on Snacks! Join me and Maia Hippard-Roff (she/her) as we talk about what her mom made growing up, us both being non-traditional students, and discuss her scandalous take on some beloved foods. 

Meet Madelynn Austin! Join us as we talk about our Ren Faire fun, favorite snacky foods, how she expresses herself and ideas through her art and the necessity for diversity in Makeup. (PS, her art is available for purchase on her website right now) @madelynn.austin @snaccs_pod

Meet Zoe Smiles (she/her), founder of Happy Goods Unlimited! Join us as she and I talk about the benefits of being able to access so many kinds of food, her experience as a second generation Guyanese-American, and what “being happy” means to her and how she shares it through her jewelry company. NOPE spoilers @ 39:25-41:17 @snaccs_pod @happygoodsunlimited

Meet Matthew Palka (he/him) , or simply “Palka” for short. This week he and I talk about his online communities, family meal traditions, his daily journals, and more! Join us as we go through his ‘mind-map’. @snaccs_pod

Meet Emily Padgett. She and I talk about our relationship with our bodies, the food we’ve enjoyed together, and relate over some family meals. We answer your questions, and even if I forgot to ask what she would be if she were a "Snack"... I think it's safe to say her final answer is sufficient. Wait until after the credits for a little treat.

Meet Courtney Compton Herrera (She/Her)! She and I went to high school together in a small town, and both love the food and people the bigger world has to offer! Join us as well talk about her life journey, her family, and how she spiritually connects with her cooking! @Compton.Food @snaccs_pod

Join me as my friend Taylor Hatley (He/Him) talk about our personal re-healthification journeys, healing from unhealthy thoughts about food, and and setting healthy boundaries in our adult relationships. (a little treat for you after the outro)

This week I sit down with Ben Genco (He/His) and we are all over the place. Him NOT being an only child, how he had to be different as a kid, his mother's cheesecake, his HOT TAKES about food, and transitional eras in our lives. Join us! 🐦📸 @benjulesrun

Due to some… technical difficulties… no episode was recorded last week. Our friends Justine(She/They) and Franke(He/They) were all in person to record a little run down of our day in a, and I promise, completely sober mini episode to thank you for listening. #NotAllChads #HappyBirthdayMadelynn

Justine (She/They) and I talk about her experience growing up in a farming family, the first time we met, and how authentically expressing herself through a supportive community has changed her life. Join Us! Check @Snaccs_pod on Instagram for anything we talked about on the podcast!
