While both joy and happiness are positive, true joy is a deep, foundational quality that transcends fleeting moments of happiness. Joy can coexist with other emotions, even difficult ones, while happiness is temporary and can be fleeting. How can we cultivate a deeper, more permanent joy in our lives, even amidst hardship and suffering?

What if the mission of your faith was a lifelong journey that began long before you were born and continues into eternity?

Reflecting on a mission trip to Kenya, we emphasize how simple acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, even in predominantly Muslim countries. Guided by Psalm 96, we discuss the importance of singing to the Lord and telling of His salvation every day. Learn how true discipleship requires daily engagement, and how your everyday actions can serve as powerful testimonies of Christian love and faithfulness.

Glen Providence wears many hats as the leader of a nonprofit, the publisher of a small newspaper and the owner of his own ice cream company. In his day job, Providence is the head of Hebni Nutrition — an organization that offers help to underserved communities, giving them access to and education about nutritious meals. In his entrepreneurial endeavors, Providence is spreading joy with Smile Ice Cream Company. “It was a passion project,” he said. “I wanted to do something food related and ice cream popped into my head.” Providence had made some ice cream as a kid and he wanted to recapture some of that nostalgia. “There was a magic moment when you're with your kids, you're with your family, you're out and you say, ‘You know what, let's go get some ice cream,'” he said. “And in that moment, when you get there, it's a feel-good moment.” Providence “went to ice cream school' to hone his craft, but the equipment he needed to produce ice cream on a commercial level was a little out of his price range. “God is good. About a month later — when you graduate from the course you get enrolled into an ice cream Facebook group, and someone was selling one of these machines — again, brand new $15,000 — he was selling for $6,000,” he said. Providence then took a road trip to South Carolina to pick up the machine. “I left at two o'clock in the morning — didn't tell a soul because people (would say) ‘You're crazy,'” he said. “Drove up, picked up that machine, was back in Orlando at 6 p.m. that evening and that was the beginning of the ice cream journey.” Providence then spent 2019 perfecting his flavors. Through the pandemic, he would provide catering orders with Smile, offering single-serving containers for events. “I was doing great. I really was not looking for a location. I wasn't actively looking but I knew when the right opportunity presented itself I would know,” he said. “I was doing all these ice cream catering and people always ask me, ‘Where can I buy this?' I didn't have an answer.” Eventually, the opportunity presented itself. A friend working in real estate had an opening at a shopping center near the intersection of Fairbanks Avenue and Edgewater Drive in Orlando. “I went back and it was like, ‘This is it. I can make you go at it,'” he said. Smile Ice Cream Company opened its brick-and-mortar location on May 3. “Everything is made right in-house. It's not being trucked in from a factory, you know, and it's great. I love the connection to the community,” he said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Providence shares some of his favorite flavors with Candace Campos and Lisa Bell. He also talks more about his work with Hebni and his paper, The Midtown Press. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we're joined by beauty writer and editor and happiness connoisseur, Lindsay Peragallo. Lindsay has over a decade of experience contributing to leading print and digital publications including Allure, InStyle, Byrdie, Real Simple, and more. Her published work marries her product expertise and deep understanding of the industry, to deliver honest, informative, and compelling content that helps readers better navigate the beauty aisle and their online shopping carts. On top of being a beauty expert, Lindsay knows the ins and outs of happiness and has created a memory-filled notebook called Happy Notes to help others start an engaging gratitude practice. The idea was born when a close friend encouraged some positive thinking during a less happy time in her life. In an attempt to keep the notes inexcusably convenient, she flipped to the back of her work notebook and took 15-seconds to spark joy, which in turn started the 'happy notes' self-love ritual she's sworn by ever since.  We discuss: The Science of Well-Being: a course you will engage in a series of challenges designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits How genetics and circumstances influence our happiness as humans The impact of social media on mental health and happiness Positive affirmations and journaling: the benefits to recording simple moments of joy How to train our brains to think positively Her experiences as a NICU mom The why behind creating her "Happy Notes" practice Best hair and beauty products for moms Lindsay's hair journey with Harklinikken⁠ ⁠More of Lindsay's beauty writing ⁠ Connect with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/happynotesbook https://happynotesbook.com/ Connect with Kacie & Gianna: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.motheruppod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/motheruppod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@motheruppod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ View full show notes at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.motheruppod.com⁠⁠⁠ Great offers for you from our sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

When you think of someone in the inner circle of billionaires and political giants, you don't usually imagine them whistling Duke Ellington tunes in corporate meeting rooms. Chris Ullman defies that stereotype; a virtuoso whistler, he has performed in venues as diverse as the Oval Office and the top of the Washington Monument. Join James Altucher in part one of this extraordinary interview as they delve into Chris's passion for whistling, which he explored in his book "Find Your Whistle."From a young age of 13, Chris committed himself to whistling. He credits his father for the initial inspiration, but becoming a champion took hard work and unique sacrifices—like abstaining from kissing 24 hours before a performance. Chris and James discuss the perception of whistling as a "novelty," contrasting it with other forms of art and sports. Yet, Chris believes that whistling is the great equalizer; it's a universal joy that resonates with everyone from grandparents to billionaire bosses. In fact, this underestimated art has brought Chris "more joy than he could have ever imagined."This conversation sets the stage for part two, where James and Chris will discuss Chris's latest book, "Four Billionaires and a Parking Attendant." But for now, enjoy this deep dive into an art form that's both ancient and modern, simple and intricate, and understand how Chris Ullman has built a life around spreading joy and inspiring others to find their own "whistle."-----------What do YOU think of the show?
