Break out your Mad Libs! In this episode, we take a journey back to our childhood conversion van and head down I-95, reflecting on what it was like to travel in the 80s and 90s and what is different for our kids today. We discuss being a fun parent vs. being a respected parent….can those two co-exist? From gymnastics to hockey, coleslaw to sushi, we share what we have tried to like but simply don't-- and handle the tough question of how do you remain kind and generous to those who aren't.

Word of the Week: WILLINGNESS I love angel cards. Every time I pull a card it allows me to focus on that certain word for the week. It never fails that the card is perfect for areas I need to work on. I decided I wanted to share a word of the week with you in hopes it can encourage you. This week it is about letting go of control. Be willing to be willing… not the easiest thing for me to do.
Have you been through a season that was tough?? Like really freaking tough? I wanted to share a piece of my breakthrough after one of the hardest years of my life. I got to experience EMDR therapy + being able to move through a lot of hard topics. It was such a cool experience, and the idea of breakthrough was the heart of my session!!!

Y'all. This one surprised me. I called a couple of my favorite gals- Camden (13), Raleigh (15), and Katie Marie (19)- to see if we could talk all about being a teenager. Because all of our experts this month have been experts BUT who knows teens better than teens. And these young women BLEW MY MIND. Buckle up for an incredibly beautiful and profound conversation. (Also dear adults, here's a spoiler: we still don't need to be on snapchat- teens think that is weird, but we need to understand it.) . . . . . I also have a new book releasing this week for young women- A Life of Lovely- a younger version of Looking For Lovely, specifically edited and specifically re-written with younger gals in mind. I will be reading you a few pages from this book today on the podcast as well. . . . . . http://anniefdowns.com #thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :)
In today's episode of Heart Lessons you will hear from author, speaker, and podcaster Annie F. Downs. We talk about the books she's written and about her latest book that just released this spring, Looking for Lovely. Annie shares her journey of how she got to be where she is now which included dozens of rejections from publishers, she talks about what it means to cultivate a gentle and quiet spirit and that it has little to do with decibels, and how we can wait well in our waiting seasons. I know you will love hearing from Annie.
In this episode, I share all the fun and lovely from the Looking for Lovely Weekend, hosted by author and speaker Annie F. Downs. Annie was on the podcast in April sharing about her book Looking for Lovely. She hosted a weekend in Nashville to share all the lovely things she wrote about and to celebrate all God has done. It was a blast and I share all the lovely things we got to experience and all it taught me.
