EMBody Radio

On today's show, I had the honor of interviewing someone very near and dear to my heart. Grant Dziak is not only the love of my life, but he's also a brilliant man with incredible perspective and life lessons to offer anyone out there. Today we had (part one of) a very interesting discussion, where we zeroed in on: -body image and eating disorders from the male perspective, -the common insecurity among all humans, -the pressure of trying to "look the part" as a man in sports (in this case, college football), -diet mistakes he made when trying to lose weight to go play football at Ohio State, -men and expressing emotions, -finding courage and greatness in being yourself, -how we can support the men in our lives and break down our own grip on stereotypical masculinity, -LOTS more. ---------------------- Find Grant here: Grant's Instagram Uniqorn Apparel Instagram ---------------------- Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic.
