That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

I am such a fan of Hannah Brown. Yes, I watched and cheered for her the last few years as she's made her way on television, but I'm most impressed with who she is as a human and friend. Her new book God Bless This Mess is a good read and perfect for this week of Thanksgiving when you've got more reading time on your hands! . . . . .Sign up to receive the AFD Week In Review email and ask questions to future guests!#thatsoundsfunpodcast. . . . .Thank you to our partners!BetterHelp Online Therapy: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/thatsoundsfunBrooklinen: Go to Brooklinen.com and use the promo code thatsoundsfun to get $20 off with a minimum purchase of $100EverlyWell: Visit everlywell.com/thatsoundsfun for 20% off your at-home lab testAnchor: It’s everything you need to make a podcast all in one place for free!
