Truth About Dyslexia

Neurodiversity is all about how our minds work differently - whether it is dysleixa, ADHD or one of the many others. In this epoisode i speak with Simone who has been on a quest to understand the mind and learn to reprogram it for success.

It's a real interesting interview that goes all over the place from addiction to self sabotage, from branding to owning a bar and everywhere inbetween.

I hope you enjoy it my dyslexic friends!

I used to be the kid who always asked why. But I did not understand that was a dyslexic thing. The need to understand the reason was so important to my motivation.

In todays episode I have Matt Bird from PublishU. He was diagnosed with dyslexia late in life and had his big aha moments. Like many of us he is an entrepreneur and found a passion for writing books and helping others do the same.

In this interview we hear a bit about his story, what school life was like with undiagnosed dyslexia and talk about entrepreneurship & book writing.

If you have ever wanted to write a book this is the podcast for you.

Why does anxiety seem to be so enhanced on those with dyslexia? I’m this podcast I answer a question from Mary and give a few tips on what I do. Live while I’m experiencing anxiety.

I go through 3 stages of how to get out of anxiety & more.

I’m this episode we respond to a listeners challenge. This comes all the way from the UK.

It is a struggle known to so many dyslexics that when we get into a fight, we lose ourselves and things just don't work out. I wanted to dig deep and offer a few thoughts.

Ok I came across this recently. Here is an example below of Bionic Reading.

This is what a small block of text looks like with bionic reading. How do you feel while reading this? Do you wish this whole blog post was written this way, or are you glad this paragraph is almost over?

Many with ADHD &/or Dyslexia have said they find it easier to focus and maintain focus.

This has always been such a key part of my life. Trying to understand what I get out of it has been a different story.

But it honestly makes a huge change to my mental health in 3 key ways which I discuss on the pod. Do you find sport helps you?

Chaos for many seems like a dirty word. In this episode we look a little into why self sabotage happens, our need for chaos as dyslexics and how to start creating a balance ration that works for our creative minds.

In this interview with Pietro Ferracini one of the founders of Focus Pro we dig into his own ADHD & Dyslexia challenges and why he decided he needed a better app for the way he thinks.

I use this type of daily planning tool as a dyslexic and it really works. It takes a bit to build the habit but once it's there... it just works. Enjoy! I will look to post the video in our Facebook Group.

I'm really enjoying coping strategies. This episode is a bit of a catchall where we talk about states. Little things we can do to break out of those negative states of overwhelm that just seem to .. well.. overwhelm us (god I hate the english language).

From showers to butt pinching I share what I do to change my state.

Have you ever struggled with your identity? The character you see yourself as?

Finding yourself wanting to simplify it but getting stuck on how to do it. I wanted to share a self identity struggle that I'm sure many can relate to. Enjoy.

Something many of us with neurodiversity struggle with. Dyslexia can see us being kind to others, but not giving ourselves much space to get things wrong. When I worked out how to do this it was like a panadol for the soul!

AI, Chat GPT and the like seem to be everywhere. But how will this play out for those with dyslexia. In this episode we look at how to use AI for your own work whether you work for someone else or yourself. I think the opportunity coming towards those with dyslexia is massive.

Have you heard of Acupressure before? Maybe Acupuncture is more often spoken about?

In this podcast we talk about a really simple coping strategy for dyslexia to help retrain your mind out of fight or flight and give you some space to have a more relaxed moment (and life!)

I honestly love this topic and it’s not spoken about enough. Trust me it works so well!

Does water matter for someone with Dyslexia? Not a podcast on water... Well luckily it's short, clear and talks about the real challenge those with Dyslexia have with drinking enough water.

Hope it makes you all smile :)

In this podcast I wanted to do an update on what is working for me and my dyslexic mind. We will cover:

Food, Food ... Food. Not every dyslexic struggles with eating issues but I would say majority of us have used it as a coping strategy at one point or another.

I wanted to share some thoughts on how I have learned to use food as a coping strategy. To be honest it is not one of my top ones.... but food can't be ignored so it should be talked about!

Let's get into it.

It happened again. I post myself. Why won’t my brain just work.

It's so easy to go down the rabbit hole.

What if this went wrong?
They must think this right?
I am so angry at them!
