• Why women’s pain is often misunderstood

• How to advocate for yourself in medical spaces

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Oliffe, one of the world’s leading researchers in men’s mental health, to talk about masculinity, silence, depression, and why awareness alone hasn’t been enough.

This isn’t just a conversation about statistics.
It’s about what men don’t say — and what happens when no one hears it.

Today’s guest is Daryl Perry, host of The Daryl Perry Podcast, exploring men’s mental health, identity, and emotional strength. Drawing from his experience living with cerebral palsy, Daryl discusses daily reflection, societal expectations, body image, and why men often struggle in silence.
