  • UPDATED WEEKLY

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?Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast app, so you don't miss a single episode!

    Put On Your Jingle Coat | Ep. 49

    Have you ever gotten distracted when trying to read your Bible? Or perhaps sidetracked when attempting to spend time with God? Maybe your mind wandered all too easily? Me too, friend :)  This life can be so distracting, and I want to tell you about a particular outfit in the Bible that priests wore that kept them focused on the matters of God. Let’s take it as inspiration for how we can enter the presence of God today — intentional and distraction free. – Also, I'm introducing a MONTHLY NEWSLETTER called CUP OF CONFETTI and I would love for you to sign up here: https://carryconfetti.kit.com/b58e8ac914 Click the link to find out what this newsletter is about, and I hope that I can continue to bring joy to your ears, as well as your inbox.

    Set Yourself Up for Celebration | Ep. 47

    As we wrap up 2025, this final episode is a moment to look back and celebrate while also looking forward with expectation for all that the new year will bring.  Join me as I unpack Spotify Wrapped for Carry Confetti Podcast.... and let me just say, WOW GOD IS GOOD.  You’ll also hear a final Confetti Recipe I've been saving for you designed to help you approach goal-setting for 2026 with clarity, kindness, and evidence-based intention. Sustainable and 'feel good' growth happens when our daily habits align with our overarching values. This isn’t about hustling into a new year. Rather, it’s about setting yourself up to take tiny (achievable) steps in the right direction, mark meaning with every action you take, and carry confetti with the deep-seated belief that good things are coming your way. Let’s close the year well — and begin again, on purpose. 🎉 Thank you for being here! I'll see you again in February 2026 :) Love, Darcie Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti If you'd like to support the podcast or say thank you for a particular episode, you're welcome to buy me a coffee or purchase a poetry print here: https://buymeacoffee.com/carryconfetti

    Make Room to Marvel | Ep. 46

    The nativity story is so familiar that it’s easy to stop noticing how extraordinary it really is. In this episode of Carry Confetti, we take a fresh look at the nativity scene and uncover the layers of wonder woven into Jesus’ birth. What if the details we gloss over are the very ones that invite us into awe? From ancient prophecies aligning across centuries, to the timing of his birth at that point in history, to who was (and wasn't) present at his birth... this episode asks questions you may never have paused to consider before. And I hope it helps you to see this timeless story with fresh eyes and renewed curiosity. Whether you're a believer or not, I invite you to unwrap the wonder of the Christmas story with me. Make room to marvel this week.

    More Than Nostalgia: The Transforming Power of Tradition | Ep. 45

    Traditions are more powerful than we often realise. From bedtime rituals and holiday rhythms to faith practices passed down through generations, traditions quietly shape how we think, feel, and live. In this episode of Carry Confetti, we explore why traditions matter — not just sentimentally, but psychologically and spiritually. We’ll unpack how repeated traditions anchor our nervous systems, strengthen our sense of identity, and create meaning in a fast-moving world. In fact, these repeated things in our lives form habits, transmit values, and remind us who we are and who we want to become.  Whether you grew up surrounded by meaningful traditions or you’re longing to create new ones, this episode invites you to be intentional about the rhythms you keep. Because the small, repeated practices of our lives often shape us more than the big moments ever could.

    Generosity Unlocks the Happiness Trifecta | Ep. 44

    In this episode, we’re diving into the beautifully practical science behind something Jesus taught long before the research existed: it truly is more blessed to give than to receive. Generosity doesn’t just help someone else; it literally reshapes your inner world. We’ll explore how giving activates the brain’s “happiness trifecta”: dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. These aren’t just feel-good hormones; they’re the chemical trio that boosts motivation, steadies your emotions, strengthens your relationships, and brings that warm, centred sense of meaning we all quietly long for. When we choose to give — our time, compassion, encouragement, or resources — our brains respond with a cascade of joy that science can now measure and scripture has been pointing us toward all along. This episode invites you to see generosity not as another task to do in this busy Christmas season, but rather as a way of carrying confetti into the world — a way of scattering light, lifting others, and discovering that joy grows best in open hands and generous hearts. PS — Details for a special giveaway are included in this episode!!

    The Anticipation of Advent | Ep. 43

    In this episode, we explore the anticipation of Advent — the quiet ache, the hopeful waiting, and the deep expectation that has shaped Christian hearts for centuries.  Yes, there is playful excitement in opening Advent calendar doors, stringing up lights, and celebrating with festive traditions! But all this wonder actually points us toward something far deeper. The very first Christmas was marked with an astral phenomenon — a bright star in the sky — and I can't wait to to tell you more about why this was so significant to the wise men you see in your nativity sets.  As Christmas approaches, let’s consider how these annual rhythms of celebration and tradition remind us of the true meaning behind our anticipation: the arrival of the King of Light, Jesus Christ.
