Annie was my recent guest on the podcast. She's written several books, but this is her first aimed specifically at preteen and teen girls, but really, any young woman who has ever found her body confusing, awkward, and flawed.

From the publisher: "You were always meant to be brave. 100 Days to Brave is your guide to help you stop allowing fear to hold you back. As a society, we are going through a lot! With anxiety and loneliness at all-time highs, take the next 100 days to discover that you are braver than you know and stronger than you thought possible."

From the publisher: "We know there are certain things we must have to survive--food, shelter, and safety to name a few. But there are also aspects of life that truly allow us to be joyful and fulfilled. For popular podcaster and bestselling author Annie F. Downs, fun is close to the top of that list. Few would argue that having fun doesn't enrich our lives, but so much gets in the way of prioritizing it. Exploring some research and sharing some thoughts behind why fun matters, she shows you how to find, experience, and multiply your fun. With her signature storytelling style and whimsical vulnerability, Annie is the friend we all need to guide us back to staying true to ourselves and finding the fun we need."
