There's a lot we're told about bladder leaks.

We're told it's the sign of decline, but it means worrying about your night's sleep.

But it means weakness. Really?

Tena discrete ProTech Plus maxi night pads give you maximum protection and comfort for peaceful night sleep.

And they give you Tena triple protection against odour, leaks and moisture.

It's time to rethink bladder leaks.

Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to the Webby-nominated podcast.

Moms don't have time to read books.

Book of the Month Club is this week's sponsor.

They're offering listeners their first book for only $5 with code Zibby, Z-I-B-B-Y.

Again, that's Code Zibby for your first book for $5 to Book of the Month Club, which, by the way, is amazing.

I subscribe every month I get to pick from five of their favorite books.

Most of the time, one of them is by an author I've had on my podcast, and then it just arrives.

I've given it as a gift.

I adore it, and you will too.

So think of it for gifts, and for sure, go on bookof the month.com and subscribe yourself.

I'm here today with Gene McWilliams-Blasburg, the author of novels The Nine and Eden,

and the winner of the Beverly Hills Book Awards for Women's Fiction. A graduate of Smith College, Jean worked in finance and writing cases for Harvard Business School. I actually wrote one, too, a long time ago. She has a blog and does extensive travel writing. She's the founder of the Westerly Memoir Project and a board member of the Boston Book Festival and Grub Street. She currently splits time between Boston, Massachusetts, and Westerly Rhode Island. So welcome, Jean. Thanks so much for coming on moms. Don't have time to read

books. Thanks for having me, Zibi. I'm so delighted to be here. So tell us what the nine is about

and what inspired you to write it. Oh, okay.
