Moms Don't Have Time To Date, With Moms Don't Have Time To Read Books Podcaster Zibby Owens

This week's guest is Zibby Owens, who's superhuman and such an inspiration!

During those years, her therapist gave Zibby the advice to read a book when she felt lonely when her kids were with their Dad. Zibby not only took that advice but created the podcast Mom's Don't Have Time to Read Books, one of the top literary podcasts in the world, and in 3 years, interviewed 600 authors. This month she published, Mom's Don't Have Time Too, A Quarantine Anthology, a moving collection of excellent essays. Zibby shows us that we do have time to do anything we want, especially finding love.
