Zibby 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. Join us as we talk about her love of reading, her new book, and book therapy.&amp;nbsp; Zibby tells me about how she became a writer and the huge effort that it took to get her latest book published, which is the story of her life as seen through the books she was reading at the time. She reveals why she doesn\u2019t like rereading books and gives tips on how to make more time in your life for reading, even if you\u2019re a busy mom.&amp;nbsp; This episode is a must-listen for all bookworms and wannabe bookworms.
