🔥 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

This episode is just a gentle reminder that passion, dedication and fortitude can lead you towards your dreams. (C) The Underdog Crew CIC Underdog Crew Studios (The Underdog Crew CIC) is a multi-award-winning community studio, harnessing the power of professional filmmaking and the creative arts as a vehicle to inspire, empower and equip marginalised and at-risk young adults. We are not 'just another' alternative provision we are a life changing, and sometimes saving, neuro diverse team who truly get it.  ​​​By embedding industry-standard practice within an accessible and supportive environment, we create pathways into education, employment, and personal growth that might otherwise remain out of reach. Our programmes focus on those most in need, with a strong emphasis on supporting young carers and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).​​ We know the struggles you've had with the education system, local authorities, CAHMS and many others in the fight for your child's 'positive inclusion'. We know, because we are you. We take broken to fixed, change can't to can and turn stigma and misunderstanding into armour and opportunity.

  2. The Arachnaphobia Challenge.

    APR 2

    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.
