Annie F. Downs—New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and podcaster—is known for her infectious energy and the fun she brings to everything she does. So, at first glance, it might be surprising that she wrote Where Did TJ Go? A Book for Kids on Grief and Loss.
However in our conversation, we explore why Annie was the perfect person to write this book—not only because it was always intended for her nephew, Sam, but because of who she is. Annie's specific wiring and gifts open the door to a bigger conversation about what it means to show up in the world exactly as we are, embracing the ways we are uniquely made.
