When someone recommends a book to you that you end up loving, something special happens: you feel closer to that person somehow, understood on some unspoken level. That could be one of the reasons why Zibby Owens, a top influencer in the book publishing world, has garnered a passionate fanbase of her own as the host of the award-winning podcast Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books™. While Owens spends most of her time discussing other author's books, she's now ready to tell her own story, Bookends, which is a deeply personal memoir about her journey to finding her voice and rewriting her story — all stemming from her lifelong love of books. Her vivacious energy, authenticity, and steadfast support of authors started in childhood, a precedent set by the profound effect books and libraries had on her own family. But after losing her closest friend on 9/11 and later becoming utterly stressed out and overwhelmed by motherhood, Zibby was forgetting what made her her. She turned to books and writing for help. Just when things seemed particularly bleak, Zibby unexpectedly fell in love with a tennis pro turned movie producer who showed her the path to happiness: away from type A perfectionism and toward “letting things unfold organically.” What “unfolded” was a meaningful career, a great love, and finally, her voice, now heard by millions of listeners. Owens shares her story while exploring things like relationships, love, food issues, the writing life, and finding one's true calling. There's something powerful about sharing the love of books, and Owens tells us just how powerful that can be. Zibby Owens is an author, podcaster, publisher, CEO, and mother of four. Zibby founded Zibby Owens Media, a privately-held media company designed to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other. One division is Moms Don't Have Time To, the home for Zibby's podcasts, publications (including two anthologies), and communities.

She is a regular columnist for Good Morning America, Katie Couric Media, and Moms Don't Have Time to Write on Medium. Her upcoming memoir, Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, comes out July 1, 2022. She is also the author of the children's book, Princess Charming. She lives in New York with her husband and four children. Julia Quinn is the author of the wildly popular Bridgerton books, now a Netflix original series produced by Shondaland Media. She is a graduate of Harvard & Radcliffe Colleges and briefly attended Yale School of Medicine before deciding to pursue a full-time writing career. She is the author of nineteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers. In March 2021, all eight Bridgerton novels were on the NYT list at the same time, a record for an adult fiction author. Her novels have been translated into 41 languages, and in the United States alone, there are over 20 million copies of her books in print.

Today we are joined by Zibby Owens, an author, podcaster, publisher, CEO, and mother of four. Zibby recently published her memoir: Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature and her first children's book Princess Charming. As part of our ongoing Modes series, Zibby helps us understand what it's like to be a multi-hyphenate jetting from one mode to another, and the tools, behaviors and mindsets that help her thrive. If you're an experience strategist creating products for high performing multi-mode customers, listen now!   IN THIS EPISODE:   [3:20] Zibby provides a brief overview of her new memoir. [7:55] How Zibby switches between modes of creating energy and restoring her energy. [14:20] What helps Zibby to overcome and grow from many extraordinary challenges she has gone through in her life? [20:35] What helps Zibby sustain her high-performance energy? [26:00] Dave and Aransas share key recommendations for companies that are creating products for high performers and mode-shifters, including the importance of focusing on relaxation alongside peak performance. [31:30] Companies need to acknowledge the mode the consumers are in to help deepen the experience and understanding of a product.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   In Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, Zibby identifies her superpowers and demonstrates how helping people understand their strengths can empower customers and foster lasting relationships Zibby recognizes that she switches between modes. She's aware of why she's moving from one to the next, and how it serves her goals. She's the type of customer that high performing brands would like to win over. Zibby feels balanced when she's performing at a high level with times for recovery and restoration in between. Companies who only focus on high performance miss an opportunity to create long-term engagement.  Almost every person switches modes regularly, especially if they have a career, family, a home, and personal passions. Companies can do a better job of making all customers aware of the modes they get into.   BIO    Zibby Owens is an author, podcaster, publisher, CEO, and mother of four.

Writing a memoir is a challenge not only in terms of writing but in sharing stories that connect people. Today's guest has taken on that challenge. Zibby Owens is an author, podcaster, publisher, CEO, and founder of Zibby Owens Media, a privately-held media company designed to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other. She recently authored Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, where she shares stories from her life through her favorite books.

Plus, she shares tips for aspiring writers who want to share their stories. Don't miss this episode.

The one and only Zibby Owens joins me at Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship to talk about her memoir, Bookends, and her experiences grieving the death of three close friends.In her new book, Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, Zibby tells several story threads at the same time, all organized around the books Zibby was reading when events occurred. It starts as a personal family history of Zibby's grandparents rising in America, her own childhood, education, and career story. It's a motherhood story  and a romance, too. But very central to this memoir is the tragedy of losing close friends too soon. Bookends in many ways reads like a love letter to three friends of Zibby's: Stacey, Avery, and Paige.I've had episodes about helping friends who are sick and episodes about friendship breakups or when friends drift away, but I've never discussed the reality of grieving a friend.Meet Zibby Owens:Zibby is an author, a podcaster, a publisher, a CEO, and this next part we have in common— she's a mother of four.

Zibby Owens is the host of Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books podcast and founder of Zibby Owens Media, a privately-held media company designed to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other.   Today, Zibby reveals the loves and losses that have shaped her life and discovers what it means to truly find your place in the world.   With infectious energy, tasteful authenticity and steadfast support, Zibby reminds us that wherever you are in life, you haven't missed the boat and today is the day to take the next right step.

“The path you are on is not necessarily the path you are going to stay on” is a lesson Zibby Owens wants to pass on but one she had to learn. Zibby always knew she wanted to be a writer, but when she tried her hand as an author, she was met with rejection after rejection– for years. Refusing to give up, she pushed past the pain and shame of countless nos and finally made her dream a reality. Her deeply personal book, Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, shares a transparent tale of her life, its ups and downs, and twists and turns, including motherhood, leaving the workforce for over a decade, divorce, and a surprising second chance at love at 40. As an award-winning podcast host, entrepreneur, publisher, author, reader, and mother, Zibby's life has all the makings of a movie and enough inspiration for moms everywhere or anyone striving for something they have yet to attain. As the founder and CEO of Zibby Owens Media, Zibby is determined to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other. Her brand Moms Don't Have Time To, is the home for Zibby's award-winning podcasts (Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books and Sex Tok), publications (including two anthologies), and communities. Zibby Books is a publishing home for fiction and memoir, which she co-founded with Leigh Newman. She's also a regular columnist for Good Morning America, Katie Couric Media, and Moms Don't Have Time to Write on Medium. In this episode, Zibby transparently shares her advice for pushing through the pain of rejection, how every day she learns how to let go of her Type A personality, and why when things go wrong, it's not the right time for them to happen.

What if your next good friend is an old friend who drifted away from your life for reasons of circumstance and not personality or hurt feelings? If you're in a stage of life where you're lonely, you've moved, or you simply want to shake up your social life, your next solid friendship might be waiting for you in "the past." Yes, reviving old friendships could be the missing piece in your current friendships. Maybe you went to college with this friend, worked together, sat on the bleachers when the kids were young, or met from any number of ways we connect with others. Not all past friendships merit a revival, but some do!My guest is author Kay Paschal, who shares her story of having a really tight group of friends in her 20s who welcomed her back in after decades of little time together. Now retired, Kay is reflective on friendships in a way that inspired me. I think you'll enjoy what she has to say.Some other points discussed in the episode:This very natural fade is somewhat related to episode #109 with Dr. Miriam Kirmayer about "quiet quitting." Kay and I are discussing reviving those friendships when it might fill out your social world in a different stage of life.Friendships fade when "the third place" disappears. (Example: You're no longer on the bleachers together watching the kids play baseball.)The often quoted study about replacing friends every seven years. (Comes up in many episodes!)Avoid burning a bridge in relationships.Developing an "open-door policy" in your mindset about past friendshipsLook for a friend, not a group.Thank that friend who does so much of the planning and inviting! (Shout out to Kay's friend, Linda.)The natural feelings of wondering why you weren't invited when certain members of a group get together without you.Kay: "You can't invite 10 people to everything you do."Meet Kay Paschal:After founding and owning 2 private preschools for 25 years in Atlanta, Kay started a new career by writing a book and speaking to moms and women's organizations and participating in parenting conferences around the country. Kay's book, Insert Giggle Giggle: Laughing Your Way through Raising Kids and Running a Business was recognized by Zibby Owens Media as a Finalist, Best Book for the Parent. Kay also hosts a podcast on Spotify, Kay's Gigglecast, with short, 10-minute grabs on women issues that are easy to consume while multi-tasking through your day.
