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, from starting therapy to truly "showing up" for himself in life in the past few months. He discusses heartbreak, finding solace in different relationships, and the healing process after losing love. By embracing solitude, 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’ 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. Don't miss this extraordinary conversation as Anthony and our hosts delve into the depths of the human experience, breaking barriers along the way.
