Meet Mercedes (16) and Anastasia (14), the Calgary sisters behind Small Bits of Happiness. Their lockdown pastime of sharing “mini-joy” moments on social media grew into a mission: help families feel closer and lighter every day. In this episode of Filming in Progress, they reveal how that idea sparked a product line of science-backed games, pop-ups that fund the brand, and a podcast that has already welcomed Malcolm Gladwell and Olympic athletes.

You’ll hear why they ignore vanity metrics, how they land big-name guests with nothing but a thoughtful pitch, and the phrase they live by when doors close: “rejection is just redirection.” They break down their design process, the habits that keep their own mood high, and the way they juggle homework with running a company now sold in fifty stores.

Press play for a fresh look at Gen-Z entrepreneurship, family partnership, and practical happiness tips you can steal today. Check out their newest parent-child connection journal and more at smallbitsofhappiness.com.
