Today's guest on the Happy Hour is Annie Downs. Annie and I met this past Spring at the If Gathering and I knew when I met her that I would love her and she would be such a fun person! It was such a blast chatting with her on this podcast! We talked a lot about being BRAVE, especially since her newest book is called LET'S ALL BE BRAVE, we discussed college & fantasy football, she told me about when she was on the red carpet for the movie premier of The Fault In Our Stars, the Bachelorette, “hook-up culture” , the Civil Wars, and finally what we are watching and reading.
This podcast cracked me up because so many times we just would talk over each other and laugh so loud. She was a super fun guest! I'm giving away TWO signed copies of LET'S ALL BE BRAVE to one of you guys. Here's what I need you to do …. tell someone about the podcast. You can do that via your social media, or an email, or a phone call, or whatever you want. Or subscribe via iTunes or Stitcher if you haven't, and then leave me a comment telling me what you did and on Friday I'll pick a winner! So easy people!

I told my mom about it because we have been talking a lot about being brave lately…well me being brave 🙂
Girl- you know I love telling people about your podcast. Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway. You’re awesome!
Oh- sorry I shared on FB 🙂
Told my husband about it, cause I think it’s relevant for women and men as well!
I texted my friend who just had a baby after a long trying process!! She is a go-getter like you and all of the women you interview. Now that she has entered the mom world I told her that you are super awesome to listen to because you challenge women to be more than the average mom and housewife. She would love listening to you!
I’m taking a break from facebook at the present moment. BUT……..I did share your podcast with friends and family via email. Every time you post a new podcast I claim “this one was my favorite”. This podcast really was though my favorite, so I take back all the other times I said it. 🙂 You and Annie work so great together. Y’all sound like best friends from childhood. (Which I did read you just met this past spring.) Still your podcast together was just so perfect. I loved the idea invitation is your permission. I truly needed to hear that. I am going to have to go buy this book because honestly I want to be brave! Thank you Jamie and Annie for creating a podcast so useful and meaningful.

I follow Annie on Twitter & also LOVED the book speak love:making your words matter!!! She is soooo down to earth & open & honest.. & just lovely!! I would LOVE to win the newest book by her! & I’ve tweeted about podcast
I read Annie’s book, Perfectly Unique this Spring for my pre teen daughter, but ended up applying so much of the truths she shared to my own life. I recommend it to all moms of girls or just ladies in general! Loved listening to her on your podcast. Her passion for The Lord and desire to disciple others is so apparent as she speaks.
Their invitation is your permission- GOLD.
