The Messy Middle: When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned

Zibby Owens - Author & Founder, Zibby Media

Nobody’s life follows the outline. Join Zibby Owens, bestselling author, award-winning podcaster, publisher, and bookstore owner, for a funny, candid conversation about her new book, Between Chapters: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot.

Ten years ago, Zibby was an Upper East Side stay-at-home mother of four with a lifelong love of books and writing. Then she started a podcast. One conversation led to another, one idea opened the door to the next, and over time she built an entirely new life around something she had loved all along: stories.

But this is not simply a story about building a career. It is about the plot twists that come with divorce, friendship, loss, love, motherhood, reinvention, and the strange, messy middle where most of us are simply figuring it out as we go.

Together, we will talk about what happens when the old version of life no longer quite fits, but the next one has not fully revealed itself. We will explore following your curiosity, taking chances before you know where they will lead, and paying attention to what has always lit you up.

And, of course, we will talk about books: the ones that shape us, carry us through hard seasons, and sometimes help us imagine what might come next.

Because you do not always need to know how the story ends. Sometimes you just need to be willing to turn the page.

Please note - This event will be recorded and shared with registrants who are unable to attend live.
