Kalina Silverman, founder of the global Big Talk movement, joins Zibby to discuss her inspiring new book, BIG TALK: How to Skip the Small Talk, Make Meaningful Connections, and Enrich Your Life. She shares how her own loneliness sparked a decade-long mission to help people forge deeper connections through meaningful conversations and offers practical tips for becoming more approachable, asking better questions, and building community in an increasingly disconnected world.
Zibby also chats with Lu Chekowsky about her whip-smart, deeply personal, and wildly entertaining memoir, DON'T BUY WHAT I'M SELLING: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole Fat Self. Lu reflects on a career at the highest levels of the advertising industry, the burnout that nearly cost her her life, and the complicated relationship between media, body image, grief, and self-worth. Together, they explore the power of using your own voice, redefining success, and finding healing by finally listening to your body.
