Carry Confetti
A podcast to help you discover how to cultivate a life of hopeful expectation and daily celebration.
I’m Darcie Frost, an Oklahoma girl now living in New Zealand and leading a church with my husband (and our two toddlers in tow). Through weekly episodes released every Monday, I’ll be exploring Christian theology and studies in psychology to better understand the powerful effects of gratitude and hope. No matter what season of life you are in, we could all benefit from a bit more joy infused into those ordinary, everyday moments.
I’ll be tackling questions like: How do I keep believing after so many setbacks? Why hasn’t God answered my prayer yet? How do you know God is good and on your side? How do I find the strength to celebrate others, while walking through grief, disappointment, and pain? What’s the difference between happiness and joy?

The Experiment: Picking up an Abandoned Hobby 17 Years Later | Ep. 53
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let's talk about putting the findings of my "fun audit" to the test... with an experiment that required making space for my personal fun magnets to collide.
It was time to touch a soccer ball again.
And boy oh boy, did I learn some things along the way. I hope you are inspired by this honest reflection of a 35-year-old Mom of toddlers getting out onto the field again with some guys (even guys half her age) and seeing how it all played out physically and mentally.
I'll also teach you about psychoneuroimmunology and how your internal language is translated into real signals to your body. Fascinating research!
Would love to hear about your own experiments! Leave a comment or send an email to connect :)
