Review of the Week:

AmandaLeeSouthernSoul

"More than just a podcast!  “Earn Your Happy” is amazing . Not only is it incredible alone - making me laugh, cry and feel like I’m connected to a supportive community, but is a gateway to new podcasts, inspirational people to follow on instagram along with adding to my ever growing book collection! I binge at work and get those weird looks when I bust out laughing at Lori and Evans (whatever totally worth it) and constantly take notes from the amazing guests on the show. This has truly been such a blessing that I stumbled upon casually looking through podcasts one day.

So grateful for this podcast to bring me back down from the stories I tell myself that are not true, get back into my higher self mindset and be my authentic self with no apologies!"

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?
