Brain Strong with Bex

It has been a MINUTE!

Today, I am joined by Bex, a therapist and weightlifter as we talk about trauma, depression, and other mental health issues AND weightlifting.

There are a quite a few times where I get pretty emotional, and as a warning, this is a heavy episode. I hope you enjoy!

Changes After ASD Diagnosis with Rae

Rae and I sit down to talk about changes in our day-to-day lives since I have been diagnosed with ASD. This episode is about our personal experiences and if you need help, please talk to a doc and see someone for help.

On the Spectrum with Soete

Soete takes over the Pod (unintentionally) and we talk about my experiences with being autistic. 

It gets pretty vulnerable, but I hope you enjoy. Note that this episode was recorded before I received my formal diagnosis.

Wisconsin Weightlifting with Soete

Soete (also known as Alyssa) and I talk about our last competition that we did up in La Crosse. We also share our thoughts on the new structure of the WSO and all things weightlifting. I hope you enjoy.

Wil and Will

Wil Fleming has been the sport for a LONG time. He shares his insights into how the sport has changed in America and how he sees the future of weightlifting (Olympic or not).

Talkin' 'Bout the Arnold with Jerry Sanchez

Jerry Sanchez and I talk about broken camera shutters, film, the North American Opens Series 1, the fundamentals of photography. And a ton of other things.

Jerry is new to photography and it was really awesome to hear his perspective on photography and weightlifting in general.

Buying Cameras without Breaking the Bank with Stew

Stew and I chat about our recent camera upgrades and how we think is best to go about purchasing new camera equipment.

I feel as though this is an important topic because so many folks either buy camera equipment that is either too sophisticated for their needs or - very simply - more than they require.

We also talk about getting started with photography and how to maximize your experience with starting.

A Conversation with Christina Richards

This week, I was so happy to have my friend on the podcast. Christina is a badass with a ton her plate and competes at the national level for Catalyst Athletics. We talk weightlifting, food, coaching, and other random, awesome fun stuff.

The Outsider, featuring Whit

I sit down and have a chat with my sister-in-law, Whit, about weightlifting. I wanted to record this episode to show how someone who has nothing to do with weightlifting perceives the weightlifting world and it was a BLAST. We talk about the history of weightlifting and when women became part of the strength sport and weightlifting world.

I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Catching Up with Jake Derse

Jake is the bomb. We chat about how he helped transform MKE Barbell into a recognizable club to most of the US crowd and quite a few international giants. He basically revived a club that was on the verge of collapse in 2018 to a thriving, growing, diverse club.

I hope you enjoy.
