In this episode of Embracing All of Me, Ross sits down with MARQUE, a Bronx-born, Puerto Rican singer-songwriter and dancer, to explore how dance, music, and creativity shape identity, healing, and self-expression.

Together, they talk about growing up surrounded by rhythm, dance as a first language, and how performance and people-pleasing can become survival skills. One key takeaway from this conversation: sometimes the body learns how to survive before the mind ever catches up—and movement can be the bridge back to self.

This episode is for creatives, dancers, music artists, queer men, and anyone learning how to soften without losing their edge.

On this episode of Embracing All of Me, Ross sits down with former U.S. Marine, certified life coach, and ally Langston Montgomery to explore masculinity, addiction recovery, and the emotional battles men often face in silence. Langston shares his journey through addiction, divorce, and the moment he finally stopped running from himself.

Together, Ross and Langston discuss:

• How cultural and generational scripts teach men — especially Black and Brown men — to disconnect from their feelings

• How to know if you have an addiction

• Why shame thrives in isolation and how community, therapy, and 12-step spaces support healing

• The role of the “inner adult” in breaking reactive cycles

Instead of perfection, this episode centers the real, nonlinear work of becoming whole. If you’ve ever felt alone in your pain or unsure how to begin again, this conversation offers a grounded blueprint for healing — starting with the courage to tell the truth.

Language is more than communication — it’s a technology. In this episode of Embracing All of Me, writer, speaker, and neurolinguistics practitioner Britnei Nicole breaks down how our words shape our nervous systems, our choices, and our sense of what’s possible.

We explore inherited scripts, shadow work, identity, safety, racialized experiences, micro-skills for nervous system rewiring, and what it really means to become unfuckwithable in a world that is constantly trying to shape who we’re allowed to be.

This conversation is practical, tender, and paradigm-shifting, especially for listeners navigating queerness, racialized identity, religious trauma, or the quiet ache of wanting to take up more space than the world has told them they deserve.
