🔥 Beyond the Breakdown is a podcast that dives beneath the surface of neurodiversity - beyond the labels, beyond the assumptions and beyond the silence. This is where we unpack the real stories. Lived experiences from people who navigate it every day. Who carry the scars, are still fighting and those finding strength in the struggle to be heard and understood. We explore what it truly means to be neurodivergent in a world that doesn’t always understand - breaking stigma, challenging misconceptions and presenting the honest conversations that matter. No filters. No pretending. Just real voices, real journeys, and real connection. No masks. No filters. Just real voices. Hosted by multi award winning Underdog Crew Studios (The Underdog Crew CIC).  Where misunderstood youth find their voice, their tribe, and their power through the creative arts. www.underdogcrew.org

    "Bow to the Matriarch" by DB & TUC

    Celebrating the selfless love of a mother to the world, her never ending commitment and scars borne from love. LYRICS:  “Bow to the matriarch” by DB & TUC Bow to the matriarch Verse 1 I wore your name Like a flame on skin Bled through the night Still I let you in Hips like a battlefield Back like a prayer Each crack in my body Says I was there Pre-Chorus Dard mera Mera taj Tu dekh zara Yeh aag ka raaj Aah, aah Main hi roshni Aah, aah Main hi zindagi Chorus Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built I gave you my heart Verse 2 Stretch marks on my belly Like river lines Stretch marks on my belly Like river lines Old pain in my knees Still I rise in time Milk on my shirt And blood on the floor I made a whole world Then begged for more Pre-Chorus Dard mera Mera taj Tu dekh zara Yeh aag ka raaj Aah, aah Sun meri pukaar Aah, aah Main hoon talwar Chorus Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built I gave you my heart Bridge (Wailing vocal breakdown) Haa-haa-hey O maa, o maa Kya samjhega Yeh shehanshah Jism mera टूटा Phir bhi khada Meri chot mein Mera khuda Breakdown Listen Look at me Every cut Is a victory Haan! Haan! Every cut Is a victory Haan! Haan! No shame in the hands That held the world No shame in the bones That carried your birth Final Chorus Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built I gave you my heart Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Blood into beauty That’s what we are Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Power of the mother Shines like a star Get involved in the conversation!

    "RISE UP: Warrior Princess" by DB & TUC

    An anthem to the reclamation of feminine power in the fight against domestic abuse. Domestic abuse remains one of the most serious and widespread safeguarding issues in the UK. In England and Wales alone, an estimated 3.8 million adults experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2025, including 2.2 million women and 1.5 million men. Women remain disproportionately affected, representing over 72% of police-recorded domestic abuse crime victims. The figures also show the extreme end of this harm: on average, one woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner every five days in England and Wales. Get involved in the conversation!

    The Arachnaphobia Challenge.

    What happens when your worst fear is placed right in your hands? In this powerful and deeply human episode, Assunta is joined by SEN Mum, Claire, who lives with an intense and lifelong fear of spiders. As part of our 'Face the Fears Weekender', we set out to confront that fear head-on - not just in theory, but in reality. Enter Tara… the tarantula. Alongside co-presenter Dom and a small group of brave participants, Claire takes on the unimaginable challenge: facing, approaching, and ultimately holding one of her greatest fears. This episode captures the raw emotion, tension, courage and unexpected breakthroughs that come when we step outside our comfort zones and into growth. It’s not just about spiders - it’s about fear, trust and what we’re truly capable of when we dare to face what terrifies us most. Will Claire go through with it? There’s only one way to find out. #arachnaphobia #faceyourfears #beyondthebreakdown #underdogcrewstudios  Get involved in the conversation! You’ve been listening to Beyond The Breakdown.
