Summary

Join Justin Jamey and Liz in a raw and honest conversation with, ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beast’ and ‘Hamilton’ star, Anthony Ramos about personal growth and overcoming life’s most intimate challenges. In this candid episode, Anthony shares his transformative journey (6:52), from starting therapy to truly "showing up" for himself in life (38:15) over the past few months. He discusses heartbreak (19:00), finding comfort in different relationships, and the healing process after lost love. By embracing his newfound solitude (32:27), he encourages listeners to tap into their inner strength and find solace amid the noise of our modern everyday life. As a treat to our listeners, Anthony also presents a heartfelt, unreleased song ‘When A Man Cries’ (23:50) that questions society's aversion to men crying and celebrates the emotional release it brings. This episode invites reflection on personal growth, self-discovery, and how we may be falling short of showing up for our own lives.
