from Dream to Rise · host Cynthia Encinas-Concordia

I have been told I need to hide my vulnerability to seem strong – but what if true strength is showing your real self?When I faced a diagnosis that threatened my life, I realized hiding my fears only made things worse.  So, I chose to face it head-on, sharing my story honestly – because real strength isabout vulnerability, not perfection.It is okay to be scared, to ask for help, to admit you’re not okay.  Our society often teaches men to keep it allin, but that only fuels shame.  Opening up isn’t a sign of weakness – it’s the first step to healing and connection.Our guest, Dervin Fedalizo, Founder of Artizo LLC, Men’s Pelvic Health Physical Therapis in Northern Virginia, is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist specializing in men’s pelvic health, performance and full body recovery.Would you agree that showing your true self empowers others?
