The Odo metaphor is perfect😆congrats on your first book signing/big event in years, and on knowing your takeaways! Thanks for sharing your tips. I have an author event at the end of this month, and will consider those ideas, too.

Lovely to read the practical ways you manage rest with and without your son.

Aw congratulations Sarah - sounds like you did amazing!! I found my first few events post covid EXHAUSTING! some of what you’ve shared here really resonates and I do think that showing up on stories massively helped my public speaking more generally!

For events I have either a plastic clip box (it’s deep but fits a4 size papers) or a vintage suitcase which doubles as a display stand - it works so well.

This post has nudged me to order business cards with a QR code on 🎴✨🪄🤓

Well done! I totally relate to the sensory overload, doing things that look or seem easy from the outside can be so overwhelming or exhausting.

So nice to meet you Rebecca! Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. 🥰
