We had the good fortune of connecting with Zibby Owens and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zibby, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Not being afraid to try things even if I don’t know how to do them. 🙂

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Everything I do professionally comes from the heart. I have a zillion ideas all the time. As one Instagram follower commented recently, “You’re not just a dreamer. You’re a do-er.” And that’s true! I let my ideas marinate for a while, then do my due diligence and when I find the right opportunity, I act quickly. It may seem spontaneous, but everything I do is well-researched. And I work hard. I thrive on stress and having a lot to do! And most importantly, I love the work I do, whether it’s reading or writing or designing a Canva presentation or whatever is in my inbox! And I don’t need that much sleep. I stayed home with my kids for 11 years and thought I’d never get the chance to succeed professionally…and now I’m using up all that energy to follow my dreams!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
In Miami? I would take them to Books & Books, spend some time on the beach reading and going for long walks, go to dinner at the Soho House, and maybe get a massage! Definitely go to some book events too!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Shoutout goes to my husband Kyle Owens. Kyle has been my biggest advocate through everything I’ve started these past five years. We got married in 2017 and his support and optimism has changed my life. His attitude of “honey, you got this!” has fueled everything. He gives me the confidence to do anything and everything.
