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.Follow Strength Block📷  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strengthblock.nz/ 🖥  Website: https://www.strengthblock.co.nz Follow Sophie 📷  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/sophie_beddoes/ 🖥  Website: https://www.sophiebeddoespt.com 🤳 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sophie_beddoes Follow Damien 📷  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/damienlifts.co.nz/ 🖥  Website: https://www.daminlifts.co.nz 🤳 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@damolifts 🎥 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO-Ogy0vthMr7aLwSKozb8Q
