    #210 Reinvention, Vulnerability, and Writing a Life in Essays with Zibby Owens
    2026/09/24
    In this episode of Freelance Writing Direct, I talk with bestselling author, podcaster, and Zibby Media founder Zibby Owens about her new memoir in essays, Between Chapters: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot. Zibby shares how she sorted through approximately 500 pages of essays and found the structure that could hold stories about divorce, remarriage, motherhood, friendship, grief, Jewish activism, mental health, weight loss, and work. We discuss how she balanced humor with more painful material, why she asked her children for permission before including a hilarious parenting story, and how she approaches writing about the people she loves. Zibby also reflects on childhood shyness, her drive to create, and why it's never too late to reinvent yourself. In This Episode Why she arranged the book to feel like a conversation with a friendBalancing funny, poignant, and painful storiesProtecting loved ones while writing honestlyHow childhood shyness strengthened her powers of observationFinding purpose through work, books, and literary communityWhy reinvention happens one decision at a time Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wf_1O8O-vE About Zibby Owens ZIBBY OWENS is the bestselling author and editor of seven books including Between Chapters: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot, Blank: A Novel, Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, and On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates, which has spent 29 weeks on the USA Today bestseller list.
