They discuss ambition, regrets, societal pressures, unseen struggles, and the subjective nature of success. They also share invaluable insights on their collaborative writing process.</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/3WaEL0A\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/3WaEL0A</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"}
