Anna Mitchael, THE WILL TELL YOU THE WORLD IS YOURS: On Little Rebellions and Finding Your Way

Zibby chats with writer Anna Mitchael about her lushly written and emotionally resonant collection of vignettes, THEY WILL TELL YOU THE WORLD IS YOURS, which traces a woman’s life from birth through midlife, capturing the subtle and seismic ways the world shapes her—and how she eventually pushes back. Anna reflects on the origins of her vignettes, many of which were inspired by personal memories or images, like a childhood Easter photo, and then delves into themes of motherhood, relationships, and the tension between creativity and productivity in a content-hungry world. She also talks about her years as a columnist and editor in Texas, and shares how embracing her “weirdness” ultimately led to her most authentic work yet. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3ZtBV9xShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** If you enjoy recommending things you love and even earning from it, you have to become a creator on ShopMy!
