Ep. 1 - Inside the Computer

11/15/21 • 66 min

Welcome to Inner-Strength Check, a podcast at the confluence of mental health, hobbies, leisure, society and community.

For today's episode, I decided to give you all a bit of an honest peek behind the GM screen and detail my own mental health recovery/neurodiversity trajectory over time, up to the present day. I felt it important not only to set the tone for the mental health side of things, but for you get a more honest and raw appraisal of your show host.

Coming up next will be Behind The Screen, which is parallel to this episode but will be more involved with discussing how my hobbies and leisure have formed, changed and persist from the past to the present day. From there, we'll expand out much more broadly to look at gaming, mental health and the like on a community and systemic level.

Please do get in touch if you're interested in coming on board as a guest, co-host or even just to game together!

Cheers,

Brady.

Ep. 0.5 - Neurological Gumbo Soup #1

Hi All! It's been a while.

This is a between-topical-episodes-episode. Just a general catch up on where I am at/the state of affairs, but also some discussions around how I will be pivoting the ISC podcast to be a bit more broad content-wise, incorporating a larger range of topics. I also discuss perfectionism as it presents through procrastination, not a means commonly thought of in our culture but one that is pervasive with mental illness.

Thank you. <3
