Welcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a solo episode based on a conversation I had about communicating Neurodiversity. It really hit home how hard it can be to communicate how you think, feel and act. Being able to think outside the box could help your relationships and the ability to express your true authentic self. Today's episode explores...

'Is there ways I can communicate my Neurodiversity'

When we consider the spectrum of neurodiversity it can feel hard to understand where our own brains fit within that.

When searching for ‘answers’ perhaps you find yourself looking at symptoms/ effects of ADHD, Autism and other considerations that could help you understand more.

We are all unique individuals, and as mentioned in the episode, I hope that exploring how we can communicate more effectively may help.

I hope you enjoy listening and as always I thank you for your support.

Welcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a solo episode based on a conversation I had about federation selection and PED use. I have similar conversations to this, pretty much every single week. Creating this episode, I can imagine, could be very useful for our community. Today's episode explores...

'I was thinking of just starting Clen and Anavar'

I hope to bring you more insight into the considerations around PED/ Anabolic use.

Discussions Include:

*The effects that can occur from using Anabolics, outside of the desired physique outcome you are looking for.

*Educating yourself and taking ownership, before making the decision to go down the assisted route.

*How exploring a prep naturally first can help you understand if competitive bodybuilding is the right path for you.

As part of The Beyond Condition Podcast mission it's important to offer a safe space for these discussions, I hope you enjoy listening.

Sarah welcomes Abel Stoel to The Beyond Condition Podcast to share his inspiring and honest story about recovering from anorexia. Abel was diagnosed at age 16, but from age 12 recognised signs of a food disorder. Abel gives insight into how he felt alone from a young age going through school, to then being diagnosed and being admitted several times to a food disorder ward for treatment.

4 years ago Abel attempted suicide and hit rock bottom, from there he knew that if he didn't change his path he would never truly live. In this episode you will hear about the thoughts and feelings that he has been through and how now he has committed to bodybuilding, and even competed at a powerlifting meet!

I am truly honoured to be part of Abel's journey and inspired beyond words.
