Guest of Honor: The Power of Ice Cream with Jeni Britton Bauer
I don’t really feel like I need to include too many words on this post, because I just want you to listen to this podcast! Last Friday, I polished off my first pint of Sunshine from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams (read here for the launch of Sunshine, and when I first met Jeni back in January) while chatting with Jeni Britton Bauer. While she was doing the very same thing, she shared what it’s like to be a leader, an entrepreneur, a creative, and a scientist. And she shares how all of this translates into her ice cream, and has the ability to connect with us, the eater, in a special way too.
This special conversation spoke to me so deeply. About being willing to do the unordinary, to feel, to connect with the people and the life happening around us, and to find the deep beauty in something like that first bite of ice cream. Jeni’s calming voice will take you through the places you feel love, where and when you feel connected with yourself.
And through all of this, we will explore how ice cream has a beautiful ability to set an example of this too. While listening to this episode, grab a pint, as Jeni explains how you can practice mindfulness while eating a scoop of your own. That so happens to be today’s take home tip too! Grab some ice cream (we’d strongly suggest a pint of Sunshine which you can order for delivery nationwide or pick up at a scoop shop) and be present. Where are the flavors taking you? Who are the people that came together to bring you this cone? For guidance, listen to Jeni’s description in this episode.
And while we can’t be connected in person right now, I guarantee you will feel the connection, with this moment, with this ice cream, and the incredible community of people connected in that flavor.
