That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

My friend (and all around best.counselor.ever), David Thomas, is back on the pod today with so much wisdom on raising the young men in our lives. This is such an important conversation for not just parents, but for humans in general.(Because of the nature of David's work at Daystar Counseling, we talk about some topics, like suicide, that may be painful for you, and too grown-up for my miniBFFs. Please listen with those thoughts in mind.). . . .Sign up to receive the AFD Week In Review email and ask questions to future guests!#thatsoundsfunpodcast. . . . .Thank you to our partners!Epic Will: Go to epicwill.com and use promo code FUN for 10% off!Awana: Try one month of Talk About for FREE with special promo code TSF.
