Rhonda Ross: Identity, Healing, and the Work of Becoming

In this intimate and deeply honest conversation, Monica Wisdom sits down with Rhonda Ross, an artist, speaker, and woman who has done the internal work to become fully herself.

While many recognize her as the daughter of Diana Ross and Berry Gordy, this conversation moves beyond legacy and into lived experience. Rhonda shares what it has taken to navigate identity, visibility, and the emotional weight that often exists behind success.

There is a depth here that is not always visible.

Rhonda speaks candidly about her experiences with self-doubt, depression, and the internal pressure to measure up. She reflects on the moment she reached a breaking point and the intentional work that followed. The work of shifting negative self-talk, finding emotional balance, and creating a new relationship with herself.

This conversation also explores her journey as an artist and what it means to build a life that reflects both creativity and truth. Through music, teaching, and speaking, Rhonda now uses her voice to support others as they navigate their own healing.

At its core, this episode is about becoming. Letting go of the versions of yourself shaped by expectation and stepping into a more grounded, honest, and aligned life.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Growing up in the public eye and defining your own identity
• Navigating self-doubt, depression, and internal pressure
• The process of shifting negative self-talk
• Emotional balance and the work of healing
