The Intersection of Pain, Body Image, and Masculinity

In this episode of The Men’s Body Image Series, Daryl Perry sits down with Sam Chang to explore what it means to truly accept oneself, especially when the body presents daily challenges. Sam shares his journey with cerebral palsy, the impact of chronic pain from herniated discs, and how his relationship with his body has shifted over time. The two dive deep into the intersections of body image, masculinity, mental health, and the societal pressures to “tough it out.” Join them as they discuss the importance of community, the value of therapy, and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance.
