Philly J Lay sits down with poet and author Rebecca Archer, known to many as @wandering_in_heels, for a conversation that is as tender as it is illuminating. Rebecca’s stunning new poetry collection, Heartbreak, is the heart of the latest episode, and from the very first exchange it becomes clear that this book is something far more layered than its title might suggest. This is not simply a collection about lost love. It is a fearless and raw exploration of what heartbreak truly means, what it looks like beneath the surface, and perhaps more importantly, what it is not.
In the latest episode, Philly and Rebecca take their time moving through some of the collection’s most resonant poems, unpacking the deeper meaning woven into each one. The conversation flows naturally between the personal and the universal, touching on healing, the strange and beautiful ways we find connection after loss, and yes, even the delightful concept of finding your very own conspiracy cutie. Rebecca’s warmth and honesty make this one of those conversations that feels less like an interview and more like two friends finally saying the things that needed to be said out loud.
Whether you are in the thick of your own healing journey or simply someone who appreciates writing that reaches into the chest and holds something there, the latest episode is a must listen. Philly brings her signature openness to every exchange, creating the kind of space where real, meaningful conversation can happen.
