Don't ever doubt you improve people's lives. Discovering you as a performer got me through lockdown. I watched and listened to everything I could of yours. I have been lucky enough to see you perform live and you are everything and more. The person you are shines through.
Thank you for posting this and allowing yourself to be so vulnerable to such a wide audience. I know it can't possibly be easy to do that. It's that vulnerability that makes every character you play on stage stand out and your performances so emotional. I feel, in a certain way, that I understand your situation, and you have no idea how much it helped to listen to you describe how you felt. I, too, married relatively young (just a little, not too much). We have two wonderful teenagers together, but it took us almost two decades and a very long separation to finally accept that we were better as friends and co-parents than a married couple. Still, he managed to walk way, but I was the one who had trouble letting go. Sometimes, its still unbelievably hard. It makes my heart hurt that it was so easy for him to move on and the loneliness at times was enough to wrench me in two, even though I had to be the strong single mom for my kids. Fortunately, in realizing our mistakes, we've become much closer as friends and parents than we ever were when we were married. I just want to thank you for sharing your story because I honestly wasn't sure anyone could adequately understand even a shred of what I've gone through over the last 20 years. You've no idea how much it touches my battered heart to know that someone out there really gets it. Really understands. You inspire me in so many ways, Ramin, and I hope to one day see you on stage in person because that vulnerability you infuse in each of your characters gives me hope and has slowly but surely helped me to finally move on.
I don’t perform for a living, I work in a different profession, though I enjoy performing as a hobby very much. I had a moment earlier this year where I was being shuffled into a class that I didn’t feel was my level, or I didn’t think would allow me to progress. Ramin, one of your interviews or podcasts mentioned accepting disappointment with grace. I thought about that long and hard and went with it. It was absolutely the right path, accepting that I was not quite ready for the more advanced class, and consolidating my technique in my existing class. I am learning and progressing, probably more than I would have in the more advanced class. Your interview or podcast taught me that! I try and accept “things” more gracefully than perhaps is in my nature.
Incredible humility and love to be so genuine and real in public. Helping others. Much love and respect.🕊️
Never doubt the service you do for others. Thanks for doing this podcast. The best yet.
Dear Ramin, your message in this podcast has resignation with my own personal experience. What a blessing your message is to me. You will never know me, but your message is a gift. You reach people around the world with your beautiful art and sharing your experience so genuinely and heartfelt. You mentioned you wanted to do a great service, you are by bringing this podcast message to the world. You are loved by millions for your acting and music. Most importantly you are loved by your beautiful family. I pray for you and your family. Enjoy them, for they are your life, your love and foundation. Take comfort in them and you will be home. I found you by accident while recovering from major surgery. There are no accidents in life, I’m blessed to hear your podcast. Peace and continued blessings your way.
Ramin,
Know you are loved. Your family loves you.
I am sending you the biggest hug.
You dont know me but your advice helped me, so i am going to tell you how you have helped me, and hope what i have to say helps you in some small way.
I am a nurse that worked in the covid ICU during the pandemic.
My family is always first as it is for you. I have a husband and 4 kids.
I went to work despite what it did to my family just as you have.
I worked hard because i felt i had something to offer just as you do.
I had tremendous guilt that doing my job could affect my family.
My family loved me anyway as yours does.
They let me go even though it hurt them because they felt i helped others as your music always does.
I wanted to quit, i almost did but i also had a family to support just like you.
During the worst of covid I had panic attacks before going in to work.
One day i almost didnt go. I couldnt get out of my car in the parking lot.
Your advice and music has always spoken to me and especially did during that time.
I looked for the ones where you talk about nothing is owed to you and you have to just show up. To give yourself grace.
I listened to your words and your songs, took a deep breath and walked back in.
Even though you would have never known ...you helped saved lives that day. ...
I wasnt going to just quit my job, i was going to leave the profession entirely.
Post covid I went on to be the Emergency Response nurse for the hospital. I am responsible for finding patients at risk for decline and advocating for them and obtaining and implementing orders to reverse that course.
I teach new nurses on what signs to look for and trust their gut if something doesnt seem right.
I found new purpose.
I shocked a man back to life at exactly midnight new years eve. He had a good outcome and when i went to talk to him the next day he said "i feel like i am talking to an angel"
.. as you say.. i didnt think it was going to get deep😂.
So i said "yea well my husband doesnt always think so (meaning i am not always a cup of sunshine😬) and he took it a different way and asked for my number😂. -I had a whole team with me that day -it just happened to be me that pressed the button, but for him i made a difference. He had lost touch with his family related to some life choices, he decided because he got a new start he was going to make it count and reconnect.
You are a true angel of music and may never know the full impact you have on others.
For me, now that the pandemic is over, hardly any covid patients end up in the ICU, the patients we have dont die or suffer from covid anymore, we have adequate resources and everyone moved on with their life.
But for awhile inside myself the feelings were still there, i was having nightmares, panic attacks, anger.
But i made a decision to keep showing up that day -i almost quit my job -and you helped me to show up.
After struggling with anxiety and
depression and feeling alone in my thoughts, not wanting to share my emotions to "not drag everyone down with me" i decided it had to stop.
My anxiety and depression wasnt allowing me to be present with my kids or my family and yet family is first. My emotional eating was out of hand😊
I have trouble doing things for myself but strive to do things for others.
So i changed the conversation.
If someone or some thing was trying to do something to hurt or harm my family i would fight.
So i decided that these feelings or pandemic related health issues could not have any more of me and take me away from my family or my happiness.
It was easier for me to look at it that way.
So with some work, grace, showing up and Prozac😂 Things are much better. My heart and my body are 50lbs lighter.
Know that just as the man said.. you are loveable, loved, cared for, giving, thoughtful soul, you have value and give value to those around you.
Lastly, as they say... put oxygen on yourself before helping those around you.
You deserve happiness.
You deserve love.
Find whatever that is for you. 💕You are important.
Taking care of others dosent mean taking care of yourself last.
Go spend time with those you love, including your wife, and see where it takes you💕
Go get your happiness.
Go get your love.
Only you can find what that truly is.💕
Go see your family.
Go get those big hugs.
It will get better, it has to.
Afirm Clear.
Much love,
Claire
Happy Birthday Ramin! Wishing you happiness, health and love.💕
Oh Ramin.. I hope those 'affirm clears' you recognise and believe!! I found you accidentally when my daughter was battling an aggressive brain cancer and have followed you ever since. You helped me through the darkest times of my iife. And as much as we don't want you to feel the need to open up every aspect of your life, we need you, in whatever capacity that you are willing to give! But please don't do so if it puts your own mental health at risk. But know that you are loved and adored by so many because of the amazing person that you are!
God's Blessings on you as you go through your journey! !
Thank you for all the joy you give us through your performances
May the Good Lord keep you in His Hands
Much Love
Ramin, thank you for sharing this powerful podcast. Also thank you for sharing a part of your personal journey. Please know that you are touching and changing lives through your gift of music, and through these podcasts.
Courageous and selfless-Thanks, mate!
Thank you Ramin. I just saw you at NYC Winery on Monday night 6/19. You inspire so many and help us tremendously! You must believe that - you make us be in the moment and having anxiety your performances gets me through. Prayers for you and your family ❤. You are an amazing man and an amazing talent - don’t ever forget that 🎶❤️
Love this episode! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable in order to inspire others to do the same
Traveling on the road to find yourself 🙏 Safe journey and may GOD hold you in his guiding hand 😇
What a podcast - well done Ramin! So brave and thank you xx
When I found you during lockdown, I had been suffering from anxiety and health problems already. After pandemic and when you started to come back to the stage, I was feeling so frustrated because I couldn't go because of my health. But that feeling makes me more stressful. Yes, of course I would love to see you but I have to accept my current condition. Because of my personality I've never thought I would suffer from anxiety.
But you definitely make me happy so whatever happens to you we always support you. Best wishes Ramin 🙏
Thank you Ramin💓for giving us such great interview. I love listening to the guests and your voices.That's calming and uplifting at the same time. Many many thanks and LOVE💝
This episode was so needed, I'm sure not just for me but for other people as well. What I loved the most about this session is that when he started asking Ramin questions or rather affirmations he was concerned about not making Ramin cry, but I did. Those affirmations hit close to home. I have related to so many things you talked about so thank you Ramin
Wow! Thank you for this inspiring video. Ta musique nous fait du bien Ramin, Merci 😘
This was 🔥 Please do a part two, it was absolutely life changing and deeply moving!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Brother, no pun intended but HANG in there, Ramin! Love the podcast. This is the message from me ( and the universe ) hopefully direct to your heart. I have been through divorce myself and lived to have a happy life and find the love of my life afterwards. Don't get me wrong, I loved my first wife but our marriage was strained for years and we just weren't being honest with each other about that. I had to forgive myself being a man of God and help move us along to the next stage of the relationship as friends and co-parents to our 2 beautiful daughters.. My guess is that your relationship hadn't worked for a long time, usually we know that deep inside but don't want to admit it because in some ways it's easier to live in denial and pain than to change. The universe is sending you clear signs to let go. It's painful sure, but I hope you and your ex partner can learn to be friends and that you can open you heart to love again. Who knows, you might surprise yourself. I'm sorry you've been struggling. I've been a fan of your music for awhile.
You're right. There is someone going through the same thing. The value of this segment is tremendous and I am ever so grateful. Thank you.
Love it!
can't believe I was sleeping on this episode... so many gems in here that resonated, thank you for sharing 🖤
Great episode!!! ❤❤❤ Love it!
Hey ramin I hope u see this I just wanted to say I’m a massive fan and I love you so so much the first time I saw you was when u played in les mis the 25th anniversary edition but my favorite by far is u as the phantom
I don't know that you ever read these, Sir...but I'm going to make the recommendation that you reach out to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Their initiatives for helping improving people's mental health processes could be greatly enhanced by your insights and journey. I know you don't think you are an "influencer"...but (as you go thru your journey) I think you can be a role model for others.
