| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Little backstory. Ten years ago I was a stay-at-home mom on the Upper East Side. I was a frustrated, aspiring author trying to sell a book, and I wasn't even on social media. And then I took a chance because my friend Sarah Milnowski suggested I start a podcast. And I thought, okay, well, why not? So I did it, and the decision |
| 0:22.3 | changed my life. I didn't see a way out of that last chapter necessarily. And yet, one step |
| 0:28.1 | at a time, I've ended up in a completely different chapter. In the last 11 years of my life, |
| 0:33.6 | I have gotten divorced and remarried, I've moved, I've changed everything about myself and my professional life. |
| 0:41.3 | And it all started very small with one small step. |

| 1:12.5 | wait to get to the next chapter. I'm excited to explore all of these themes with you because I have |
| 1:18.5 | opened up a form for you to share your stories, a platform for you to explain what life has been |
| 1:25.3 | like, even just one sentence, even a funny sentence, even a |
| 1:29.0 | heartbreaking sentence, all the way up to a personal essay that I can share. To kick things off, |
| 1:34.2 | I have shared an essay that just came in from an author named Carson Brown. And I just want |
| 1:40.3 | to read you her essay because, oh my it's so good and I just published it on |
| 1:44.7 | between chapters which you can find by going to zibby owens.com and it's right up there up at the top |
| 1:50.5 | and in the navigation bar. So go to zibby owens.com and you will find the between chapters |
