Zibby Owens is the creator and host of the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, an amazing podcast interviewing incredible authors of all kinds about their books. I admire this woman for so many things - and having been a guest on her show, and now having her back for a second time on mine, this girl is on fire.

In this interview we dig deep into Zibby - her life, her journey, and how she does what she does. We also dig into her newest venture, Zibby Books, a publishing company attempting to reimagine the business of books as a collaborative partnership.

EP 135: And then this happened. The story behind the brand, Hello Again Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

Two midlife, empty nester walk into a cannabis dispensary.....that's what we are talking about today - and you don't want to miss it.
When menopause starts, and often well before, women can stop feeling like themselves. Hormones go haywire and with them your mood; temperature regulation goes out the window; restful sleep becomes a distant memory; and mental clarity vanishes. Women are left to “deal with it.” We think that’s unacceptable.

Meet Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas, two trailblazing women who decided to launch a business with women of a certain age in mind. Take two lifelong friends, and mix in creativity and attention to detail and you have the perfect combination. They developed a discretely dissolving unique cannabis-infused vaginal suppository which is formulated specifically for daytime and nighttime use so you can say Hello Again to YOU wherever and whenever you choose.

EP 132: Finding my peace. Meet Dr. Jane Lee Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

Today's conversation is with a woman who's words will inspire you. As women there are times when we feel guilt, or question if we made the right decision. In the book Catastrophic Rupture, A memoir of healing, you will meet Dr. Jane Lee and learn about her story.
The book allows you to walk alongside the author as she struggles to bond with and love her child, as she reconciles what is happening at home with her ongoing role as a physician to patients and families in similar circumstances, and as she shifts from the medical perspective of disability that sees an impaired body to the mother's perspective that sees the beauty and value in the person that is her child.
ALL AUTHOR PROFITS WILL BE DONATED TO THE COMPLEX CARE PROGRAM AT CHILDREN'S WISCONSIN AND THE MEDICAL HUMANITIES PROGRAM AT THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WISCONSIN. YOU CAN PURCHASE THE BOOK HERE.
