This week, Sarah and Erika 😘 welcome a fabulous special guest: Trisha Otis! She’s the owner of Sun Fox Books 📚 and the new VP of KC Book Beat (we’re so excited for her!), where she’s shaking up the indie author scene. Oh, and did we mention she’s managing all this while juggling her husband’s recovery from brain surgery and raising a six-year-old? 😱 Supermom energy, anyone?

👀 Expect sarcastic takes, lots of laughs, and honest conversations about being seriously understaffed.

In this episode, we talk about:

• 📖 Trisha’s dream of running a bookstore and her first $700 pop-up success
• 🧠 Navigating brain surgery recovery and staying (mostly) sane during the holidays
• 🤝 Why strangers are better hype people than your own circle

Whether you're chasing big dreams, drowning in to-do lists, or just here for the laughs, this episode’s for you! ✨

Be sure to check out KC Book Beat and Sun Fox Books socials! We’re here to support these cool movements in Kansas City!

Also, MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW, because Erika and I will be in KC for the Lit & Libations event in May!!
