BE BOLD, BE COURAGEOUS, BE A FUCKING HOT MESS!
If you follow me on instagram, you probably saw the reel I made where I was at Alchemy in Uluwatu, Bali and was completely captivated by a guy. My soul was drawn...magnetized...and we were glancing at each other here and there...
I FELT COMPELLED TO DO SOMETHING (ps a fly just landed on my laptop screen as I typed that, and if you know the thing with me and flies and 44s then you know, and if you're new round these parts, stick around and you'll see).
I felt called to write him a note and have it sent to him by a server - and that note turned into a poem...and just minutes before she gave it to him, something nudged me to capture his reaction because I knew it was going to be something special.
When we watched it, we both felt like we had to share it with the world. I had a feeling it would go viral...but not this viral!
Over 10.5 MILLION views at the time of me writing this, AND my entire IG blew up.
40K views on my stories
45K new followers
300K-1M views on damn near every single reel
People commented on my courage and how they yearned for confidence and courage to be bold...so I decided to create a Masterclass called Fearless Authenticity (if you want to join, email hello@ritapira.com - it's only $11.11)
After I came down from that high from hanging out with him the first day and I had the next day to myself, I wrote and recorded this song!
PS Part 2 of the story is available on my IG, and Part 3 will only be released to my instagram subscribers!
See you there!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
