I had such a great discussion with Zibby Owens for this episode. Zibby has a delightful podcast all about books & authors, and a thoughtful new memoir, Bookends, which dives deep into grief.

Some topics Zibby and I discuss include:

• Zibby's podcast, Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books, and some of her favorite grief memoirs;
• Her own brand-new memoir, Bookends;
• Losing her best friend on 9/11, and the trauma and impact that had on her;
• The 'grief brain' and brain fog she experienced;
• Losing people close to her who left behind young kids;
• Her family's experience with losing loved ones to covid;
• All about her grief platform & podcast, Moms Don't Have Time to Grieve;
• Her thoughts on writing a memoir, including feeling vulnerable and having newfound compassion for memoir authors;
• Zibby's tips for aspiring memoir writers; and
• Her summer reading pick in case you'd like to distract yourself with a good book.

I hope you enjoy my discussion with Zibby Owens.
