The emPOWER Breakfast Podcast With Perry Power Is Out

A powerful and deeply considered conversation

The next episode of The emPOWER Breakfast Podcast, hosted by Athene Parker, features a powerful and deeply human conversation with Perry Power.

An actor, entrepreneur and founder of the Be Powerful movement, Perry joins the podcast to speak openly about breaking the silence around sexual abuse and the profound impact that sharing men’s stories can have on healing, connection and change. This episode creates space for a conversation that is still too often avoided, misunderstood or pushed into the margins.

Perry reflects on how storytelling has become central to his work, from supporting survivors to write and publish their own experiences through Powerful Books, to adapting these stories for the screen through his production company. He speaks with honesty about voice, vulnerability and the courage it takes for men to be seen in their pain, particularly within cultures that have not always made room for emotional truth.

Together, Athene and Perry explore how silence can shape lives, how community can support recovery, and how emotionally intelligent leadership begins with listening. Their conversation moves between personal experience and wider cultural responsibility, touching on masculinity, care, creativity and the quiet strength found in shared understanding.

This episode will resonate with anyone interested in storytelling as a tool for healing, men’s mental health, workplace culture, or the role of empathy in leadership. Perry’s generosity and clarity bring depth to a conversation that feels both necessary and deeply human.
