The Passionfroot Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Navigating institutions is a unique challenge for a lot of millennials and Gen Z’s. Institutions make up so much of our lives—schools, houses of worship, the businesses that employ us, the companies that market to us—and yet we often struggle to find voices or make changes within them. It’s easy to give up on institutions, but also easy to become overly dependent on them. How do w...

Send us Fan Mail I went to an Art & Faith conference, and it changed me. Actually, this is the THIRD year I've been to this conference. I always love going because, as a deconstructing Christian, I find the space to be friendly to questions, intellectual pursuits, and uncertain faith. Art is a great place for these things in general. For something that is so beyond us and filled with such...

Send us Fan Mail Purpose isn’t found by adding more. Sometimes it emerges when we strip back, pay attention and choose intentionally. In a world that tells us to know more, do more and have more, many of us are quietly exhausted, and still unsure of our purpose. In this episode of the Passionfroot podcast, Adjoa, Darcie and Max have an honest conversation about minimalism, hustle culture and the s...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back friends! We're so excited to bring you another FULL group episode! Today, we talk about when to seek discomfort vs comfort. They say "discomfort leads to growth," which is true, but it's not always the best option. Sometimes you need to follow the ease.  But...how do you discern when to choose comfort and when to choose discomfort? When do you pivo...

Send us Fan Mail Darcie posed an interesting question in our team group chat: was the first sin committed by Adam and Eve related to wanting knowledge? And if so, is knowledge itself dangerous? The question got us talking, and over the next few weeks it came up a handful of times, until we knew that it had to turn into a full conversation. The dynamic is interesting, with Darcie approaching this a...

Send us Fan Mail We live in a world where everyone has a strong opinion, especially when it comes to faith and belief. But what does it look like when your own faith journey leads you to feeling it necessary to challenge existing opinions?  We began this conversation 2 weeks ago in PART 1,  discussing things like: outgrowing what you were taught, thinking differently amongst conformity, reconnecti...

Send us Fan Mail We live in a world where everyone has a strong opinion, especially when it comes to faith and belief. But what does it look like when your own faith journey leads you to feeling it necessary to challenge existing opinions? How can we find our own way on this road littered with fear and obstacles? In today's conversation, Adjoa, Max, and Darcie explore that question. Join the...

In this episode of The Passionfroot Podcast, we dive deep into career fulfillment, creative paths, and redefining success beyond the 9-5.

Being "The Nice Girl" is not all good, but it's also not all bad -- how are we working to embrace the good parts and grow into more authentic, confident versions of ourselves? Whether...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to another episode of The Passionfroot Podcast. Today's topic: social media. As a group made out of 2 visual artists and 2 musicians, we're specifically discussing our experience with social media as creatives. Does it inspire us or drain us? Does it motivate or paralyze? And how do we choose to proceed as artists in this strange, internet-centered world?  Join t...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back Passionfroots! The topic in this episode was inspired by a comment on Darcie's 2025 video, "Resist Consumer Culture // How to create more than you consume." Someone left a long, heartfelt comment about their struggle with FOMO and how they worry about falling too far behind in the art world to make work that is up to standard. To be more specific, this...
