Chronic Power Podcast: Young Men
Men don’t talk about health, right? These 4 guys are changing that.
They’re young. They live with chronic illness. They have to fight to stay alive.
They hid their conditions for a long time, so they know how hard it is to trust others. Join them as they discover themselves by opening up to each other - and you. Brought together for the first time and with different medical conditions, they bond through similar experiences.
Alone, each had to confront his vulnerabilities and figure out how to transform his pain and struggles into fuel...into fire…into power - to overcome obstacles, stigma and perceptions.
They’re brave, bold, raw and they have the guts to dive deep into personal issues.
Their guests come from all walks of life.
THEY ARE Chronic Power and they are going to change how the world sees chronic illness.
