Growing Up Broken by Society’s Idea of a Man

In this episode of Sick & Tired Recovery, my guest William opens up about what it was like to grow up constantly questioning his worth as a man.
Shaped by society’s standards of masculinity—what he should look like, how he should act, and what success should mean—William carried a deep sense of not being “enough.” We talk about how these pressures influenced his choices, his relationships, and his self-image, and how he’s working today to rewrite the story of manhood on his own terms.
This conversation is about breaking free from harmful expectations, finding strength in vulnerability, and discovering that true manhood is about authenticity, not approval.
