The Good Space with Francesca Phillips

Why it’s ok to not agree with everyone or sugarcoat things with Annie Bowles


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Annie Bowles. She’s the founder of Sugarfree Media & host of the News Du Jour podcast. She graduated from American University in Washington DC after interning in both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill. Coming home to the heartland, she grappled with the need to pull women into the political landscape as well as the lack of reliable news and news geared towards young women. She made it her mission to help fill those needs and never looked back. Let’s not be afraid to speak our truth and to stop sugar-coating everything we say.

“Not everyone is going to be ready for a productive conversation about anything.” - Annie


THIS WEEK’S INTENTION

I embrace who I am and know not everyone will agree with me. I allow myself to show up fully and say the truth with kindness.


WRITING PROMPT

Am I allowing myself to speak freely without pre-editing or judging? If not, what do I want to say right now?
