Summary

In this raw and deeply personal conversation, Teddy Swims, the rising R&B sensation, lays bare his journey of self-discovery and healing. With disarming candor, he recounts the pivotal moments that shattered his world, leaving him grappling with profound insecurity and self-doubt – a battle exacerbated by societal pressures and his own inner critic. However, Teddy's story takes an uplifting turn as he finds an unlikely mentor in wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page, who not only guided him toward physical transformation but also instilled the courage to love and accept himself fully. Teddy's vulnerability is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest hours, the path to self-love and resilience is never out of reach.
