Show Notes:
Atticus, the two-time anonymous best-selling author has taken the world by storm with his beautiful poetry and his powerful themes of love and strength of the human spirit. He remains anonymous so he can “write from the shadows” and share from his heart without judgement. I went deep on asking him about this, wondering what it’s like to create like that, and how we can art from a place where we feel exposed.
Question Highlights:
-How did your environment feed who you are now?
-When did you discover that you had something worth putting down?
-How did your inspiration come through for you?
-How do you notice when you’re feeling stuck, and how do you get out of it?
-Do you ever regret being anonymous?
-Where do you feel these creative ideas are coming from?
-What advice do you have for people who feel really stuck in life?
-What is your favorite poem?

Atticus is the anonymous New York Times Bestselling author of Love Her Wild, The Dark Between Stars and The Truth About Magic.
He is a storyteller and observer. Born in the Pacific Northwest, he’s spent much of his life exploring the world and now calls California his home.

Just keep your eyes closed and let your mind wander. We’re going to be going through a process of start, stop, face, and embrace.

Another aha moment thanks to Lori and Evans! Whenever I need some inspiration, laughter or an aha moment, I tune into Earn Your Happy, and usually there is always something in an episode that is exactly what I need to hear. I was listening to Evans and Lori talk about pivots and Lori was sharing the story about baby sea turtles and it was the aha, calming advice I needed. You see I’m a mom to a 14 year old middle schooler that has really struggled this year and my momma bear has wanted to come in and “fix” it. Hearing that the turtles need to struggle on land so they can survive in the sea was a great analogy for parenting middle school girls. This struggle is part of her learning how to figure things out and my job is to provide her with the tools to help but not do it for her. Thanks as always for the motivation!!
