[Podcast] Ep. 68: [Co-Interview] ‘Deadlifts & Death Me(n)tal’ w/ ELISSA JEWELL, Part I.
Preamble/Thanks:
First of all, congratulations and thanks in order to Elissa Jewell for not only being a fantastic co-host in yesterday's cross-disciplinary Q & A style chat here - but also for officially being our first-ever Member (a Riff Nerd) on our brand new Patreon site! Elissa and I previously spoke at her old leased space in Preston in 2023 (link for this discussion below).
We now return for another intense, thorough and fun conversation within the walls of her recently setup private gym space in Melbourne! We touch base on quite a lot of intersecting professional/lived-experience thoughts/issues - from music culture, metal culture and neurodivergence, to mental health, strength training/programming and nutrition.
Now, you'll notice towards the end there's a bit of a sudden cutoff - we talked so long that the battery died! Stay tuned though, as this episode also continues with an announcement about Part 2, which will be exclusive to Riff Nerds over at Patreon.

Ep 68: Show Notes:
Neurodivergent Insights (Dr. Anna Neff) - One of my favourite neurodivergent resources on the internet, if not my fave. Great peer-minded resources, great articles breaking down the complex relationships with ADHD, Autism, mental illness, personality disorder etc etc. Dr. Neff is herself auDHD and does a great job breaking down complex psychological concepts into digestible articles, diagrams, tools etc.
Not So Typical Fitness - ‘Neurodivergent-Friendly Beginner Workouts’
Introduction to the Pomodoro Technique (I really like using this free browser-based app - no messing about with freemium!)
deadlifts and death metal:
