Hi, I'm Zibby Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast, Moms, don't have time to read books.

Please sign up for my newsletter at Zibbeowens.com for weekly updates about my podcasts, events, and more.

Also, follow me on Instagram at Zib Owens and also at Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

And finally, join my virtual book club called Zivie's Virtual Book Club,

which meets every other Tuesday at 2 p.m. Eastern Time until 3 p.m.

And features half an hour of book club discussion followed by 30 minutes of

Q&A with the author whose book we've just discussed. You can sign up on my website,

zibbyowens.com, under the virtual book club section, or even on Instagram under the link in my

bio. I hope you'll find me in all these different channels and enjoy this podcast.

I've started something new that I want you all to know about.

It's a private Instagram community called Moms Don't Have Time to Lose Weight.

I didn't mean to start this.

I posted on my Zibi Owen's Instagram account recently that I just wasn't feeling so great

or so proud of my body these days.

And I asked for some tips and I got so many calls,

DMs, emails, texts. I was just overwhelmed with all the suggestions, but also by how alone

everybody feels and how punitive and punishing people are feeling about themselves. And I thought,

gosh, I have to help. So I started, moms don't have time to lose weight. And right now, as I mentioned, it's a community. It's private on Instagram. I really only want people to join who want to feel better in their bodies tomorrow than they do today and who are committed to making simple changes, not radical lifestyle changes necessarily, just being able to commit to one small

change. And if you fall into that category, I would love for you to join. You can request to

follow on Instagram. Moms don't have time to lose weight. And it's not about just losing weight.

It's about just feeling healthy. You don't even have to want to lose weight. You know, one of my

goals is just to feel less pain in my body, reduce inflammation, all of that stuff. So if you want to feel better in your body and you want to be part of a supportive community of like-minded souls, then please sign on to the community. And who knows, there may be a podcast coming soon. Brooke Adams-Law is the author of CatchLight, which won the Fairfield Book Prize.
