Zibby is joined by author, craft beer bar owner, and LGBTQ+ advocate Jillian Abby to discuss her humorous and heartwarming new memoir Perfectly Queer: Facing Big Fears, Living Hard Truths, and Loving Myself Fully Out of the Closet. Jillian reveals what it was like to come out as a lesbian at 38 years old after building a life with her husband and two children. Then, she talks about her “twisty turny career” (from CPA to massage therapist to executive storyteller), her perfectionism (and how she manages it), her popular TikTok page, and the surprising book she wants to write next!Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3VHq3gOPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3plyoL9Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
