Hi, I'm Zivie Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast.

Moms don't have time to read books. Thanks so much for listening to my podcast. If you like what you hear,

please follow me on Instagram at Zibby Owens and also at Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

Thanks so much for listening. Enjoy it.

Today's sponsor is The Helm, which is a lifestyle brand committed to elevating and investing in female

entrepreneurs. They sell a curated selection of female founded brands on their website that

speaks to an entirety of a woman's life. They sell clothing, clean beauty, motherhood-related products, and many categories of items,

all from brands founded by women.

And they also have an investing arm that has invested almost $1.5 million in women-backed

companies.

Their website is Thehelm.com, and they actually just recently featured this very podcast in their list of 22 podcasts by women that are worth listening to or something like that, which was very, very nice of them.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and thank you to The Helm for sponsoring.

I did this interview with Susan Wiggs via Instagram Live, which was a lot of fun. Although, like with everybody, we had

some connection problems, but ignore those. Susan is a number one New York Times bestselling

author, and we talked about her latest book, also a New York Times bestseller, but I didn't

know it then. Nobody knew it then, but I could have predicted, but I didn't. But anyway, whatever,

it's called The Lost and found bookshop.

She currently lives on an island in Puget Sound and has been a writing fan for her entire life.

She is an internationally best-selling award-winning author. Millions of copies of her books

have been in print in numerous countries and languages. She's a former teacher, a Harvard graduate, an avid hiker, an amateur photographer,

and divides her time between sleeping and waking.

And we found each other.
