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 Problem: You've Been Sold the Lie of Fake Fun | Ep. 51
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to a 3-part series where I unpack some of my own internal musings, alongside evidence-backed research to identify a problem that we're all currently facing... We've forgotten how to have true fun, because we've bought into the lies we've been sold by a society that is using our brains against us.
So, in a year where I'm reclaiming the joy of true fun, I invite you to journey with me through the problem this week. Next week, I promise to bring you the solution. And in the final part of this mini-series, I'll tell you about my own personal experiment -- what I loved, what I learned, and what I'll do differently next time.
This series was inspired by Catherine Price's book The Power of Fun: Why fun is the key to a happy and healthy life.
