Kirk Sheppard is a professional counselor, playwright, theatre blogger and advocate, theme park enthusiast, vlogger, and more! This is his one-stop shop for all of his creative endeavors.

Kirk was born in a small town in rural Ohio and later moved to Cincinnati, where he currently lives. The practicality of that small-town farm-boy mindset now coexists with big-city, progressive ideas - and all of those experiences has led us to this: an informative, inspiring, and sometimes humorous take on the world.

Here you’ll find occasional movie reviews, but also weekly inspirational blogs with a mental-health focus. Sometimes Kirk writes about politics and culture and other times he just tells funny stories about his day. He strives for vulnerability and authenticity - and does so out of a desperate need for connection.

You can connect by subscribing to either the free or paid tiers of this Substack. The paid version will get you full access to all of Kirk Sheppard’s writing, including exclusive content like weekly writing prompts, excerpts from other creative projects, his most vulnerable essays, and more!
