Here's our Fun Q&A session w/ Marissa Howard, LCSW:
✴️What do you do for fun?
If I'm doing something fun, it almost always means I'm with the people I love - my family, friends, or neighbors. I'm definitely an extrovert and I love to host; spontaneous gatherings at my place are definitely a favorite. I have also recently started doing embroidery- it's been so satisfying to do something that uses my hands, is just for pleasure, and is truly finished at the end.
✴️All time favorite book?
I have a new favorite! The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is absolutely incredible and just so happens to be written by a dear, life-long friend of mine. There are extra little details in there (the street she grew up on, her sisters birthday, etc) that were fun to find as someone who knows her and is from the same hometown.
✴️What are you watching or listening to right now?
Bridgerton on TV, Good Hang with Amy Poehler on audio.
✴️ Best vacation you've ever been on and why?
My husband and I took a road trip to Vermont in the Summer of 2015 and it was an absolute delight. Friends of ours lived there at the time and helped me plan the whole trip as a birthday gift for him. We saw so many beautiful places, ate incredible food, and just enjoyed being together.
✴️What is something most people don't know about you?
I ran the San Francisco Women's Marathon but really, really hate running.
