Drake, a 56-year-old husband and father, shares what it's like to carry decades of silent shame about his weight, shaped by comments from family, masculinity expectations, and the belief that "men handle it themselves." Only recently did he begin unpacking this through therapy, walking, and discovering this podcast. Drake talks about separating health from body size, questioning GLP-1 medications, noticing joy return, and learning to speak openly for the first time in his adult life. A grounded, honest conversation about fear, embodiment, and the long journey toward self-compassion.
