Morgan speaks candidly about her emotional journey, the intertwining of family life with writing, and how she copes with change and loss. She and Zibby exchanged personal coping strategies, and then Morgan offers advice to writers, emphasizing not giving up and the value of feedback. The episode concludes with Morgan's passion for quilting, which adds a layer of warmth and personality to her narrative, just like her memoir does for her readers.</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/3MEVsNG\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/3MEVsNG</a></p><p><br></p><p>Share, rate, &amp; review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/zibbyowens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@zibbyowens</a>!</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
