Each day Austin wakes up, there are a series of things he has to roll with. He struggles with OCD, Tourette's, depression and anxiety.

Enter poetry & a new book, LOTUS & THE APOCALYPSE

which was published on March 1st by Outcast Press.

His goal is just like ours, "My biggest goal with this book is to help people in our community feel less alone in what they're experiencing by being honest in my poems about my own struggles."

This podcast brings us closer to understanding him and people just like him. Thanks Austin, for reaching out to share your story!
