Emmanuel Acho, UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH A BLACK MAN Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

"Uncomfortable" is a bit of a misnomer because Emmanuel Acho is gifted at making people feel at ease having honest conversations about racism and social injustice. He talked to Zibby about making our way to the middle to find the truth, why he believes we learn history in school when we're too young to understand it, and creating a catalyst for racial reconciliation through dialogue.

Rachel Hollis, DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Zibby thinks Didn't See That Coming is the best book title. It really hits home and she had a great time talking to Rachel about encouraging people who are going through something difficult to get to the other side, the different ways grief manifests, and absorbing the role of being a healer to others.

Julie Buxbaum, ADMISSION Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Julie Buxbaum became so obsessed with the 2019 college admissions scandal that she was inspired to write Admission. Zibby loved talking about Julie's compelling characters, what it must feel like to be a teeager at the center of a huge media fallout, what achievement means, what success costs, and ethical parenting.

Hope Edelman, THE AFTERGRIEF Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

Hope Edelman talked about her research process for this poignant book, what her term AfterGrief means, bereavement leave, and confiding in others. Her moving advice resonated with Zibby: release yourself from the idea of an end point for mourning and consider grief as ebbs and flow of intensity rather than an end point.
