② I gave a short talk at the last XOXO conference. Months of anxiety, but, maybe worth it.
It was a thing I’ve wanted to (fully) share for a long time. I approached it like a story, with a proper arc. And… it basically worked? Most of my jokes landed! Everything I set up pretty much delivered! The crowd was amazing! It was about as good as it gets.
(Trivia: I write my talks in my head, not a word written down. But that means, despite being done, my brain is STILL practicing and revising 😵💫)
