Unique, Mysterious, Kind...these are just a few words I would like to use to describe my conversation today with the poet Atticus. As I started this interview, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I even thought Atticus was possibly a girl! I learn so much about love, loss, and rebirth from this wonderful human. Words truly can Spark inspiration! I hope you find yourself inspired by this human to human conversation. Maybe today is the day you will start to write down all the little thoughts that go through your mind!
~ Atticus is the anonymous New York Times Bestselling author of Love Her Wild, The Dark Between Stars, The Truth About Magic and LVOE. Dubbed “The #1 Person to Follow” by Teen Vogue and “The World’s Most Tattoo-able Poet” by Galore Magazine, he has been followed, quoted, and retweeted by the world’s top superstars, from Karlie Kloss to Shawn Mendes, Emma Roberts, and Lana Del Rey. His words have been tattooed by tens of thousands of his avid followers. Atticus has been featured in Time Magazine, Elle, The Guardian, Fast Company, Publisher’s Weekly, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He’s worked with Kygo, Maroon 5, Coach, Absolute Vodka, Stance Socks, Target, Urban Outfitters, and Refinery 29, among others. In 2019, Atticus launched his own wine brand called Lost Poet, which became the highest-rated red wine on Winc.com. All this while wearing a mask and keeping his identity a secret, preferring to send love from the shadows.

Today's episode is going to be a little different... I initially recorded this episode with no intention of releasing it. I just wanted to say goodbye to my Emotional Support, Pee Wee, the only way I knew how to. I needed to release my thoughts of pain, grief, and death. Pee Wee was a dog to the naked eye, but to me, he was my everything. This podcast wouldn't have existed if I didn't have him. The heartbeat to heartbeat connection I had with him was the only way I knew how to regulate my manic episodes and panic attacks. I hope this episode brings to light the importance of animals to those who suffer with mental illness. Grief has been brought back to my life again and I'm ready to talk it out loud with you, as I'm beautifully reminded by you all that I am not alone in this sadness. Thank you for being my Emotional Support. I love you Pee.
