Strength Block - The Podcast: Recent Episodes
Damien
A podcast hosted by Sophie and Damien Rabaud centered around strength training, lifestyle, and what ever peaks our interest!
This is my personal journey navigating Adult ADHD with medication. Over the past couple of years, I've discovered an interesting connection between my ADHD, workout routine, and the impact medication has had on both my personal and professional life.
I cover a lot of ground in this video. I tried to not ramble to much, but as you can tell by the length of the video I can not minimize the impact medication has had. It definitely isn't all sunshine and roses, there are heaps of pros and cons to ADHD medication, and i try to be as honest as possible in addressing my personal experience.
This audio was originally from a Youtube Video - If you'd prefer to see my pretty face rather than just listen to my voice, it can be found here:

In this weeks episode, we delve into Damien's recent ADHD diagnosis . He's had a lot of questions about it, and has been refraining from talking about it too much as he has been processing it himself. However, he thought it was important to have a chat about it, clear up some misconceptions and begin to open up to other people about this internal battle that he finally has some closure on.

We had a little break but we're back! In this weeks episodes we have a chat about how the fast paced world of social media messes with our perception of success, how we are affected by confirmation bias of success and seldom notice when something has failed - all related back to Damien's extremely long journey in his career.
