The Empowered Series pulls the curtain back on the processes and lives of the creators, leaders, and thinkers who are currently making a difference by creating something new and asking the hard questions. Grab a cup of tea or open a bottle of wine and join me as I sit down with some of the most fascinating people I know who serve as a great source of inspiration for me. Together, we will dive in and talk about the lessons they’ve learned, the tools that continue to serve them, and be reminded that we too have the ability to hold space and reach heights unknown.

    RJM x Jimmy Monroe: A Father's Evolution

    If you would've told me 15 years ago that I'd have the relationship I have today with my father, I wouldn't have believed you.

I am truly so proud of my father's personal evolution, of the relationship we have now, and I am so proud to share his story today. This conversation is for you. Whether you're a parent or not.

The Empowered Series are conversations of why...

...we as parents, should support our children and their dreams... As a parent of two artists whom attended attended schools for the arts since Kindergarten and are now graduates with BFA’s in musical theatre, costume design and arts administration, I appreciate this podcast so much. It is providing me with confirmation that I was correct in allowing my kids to follow their dreams. Many people have asked me why I would allow them to get degrees in the arts when they most likely won’t even have a job when they get out. I’m here to tell you that I will always support my artists because they are smart, passionate and kind individuals who will do well in life. This podcast offers many stories for those who might be struggling with their dream. “Transition forward” Godspeed. Ryan James Monroe! ❤️🎶❤️
