Truth About Dyslexia
The Truth About Dyslexia is back. Hosted by Stephen Martin, this podcast is for adults with dyslexia, ADHD, and neurodiverse brains trying to make sense of work, life, relationships, health, and entrepreneurship. This is not just about reading and spelling. It’s about real life with a brain wired differently. Expect honest stories, practical tools, hard-won lessons, and those “I thought it was just me” moments. No gurus. No hustle culture. Just the truth about dyslexia, ADHD, and doing life your own way.

Coping Strategy #10: State changes, showers and butt pinching 10.04.2023 11:55

Self Acceptance (and what it really means) 22.02.2023 13:09
How many times have you heard the someone say - You need to accept yourself? But if you are like me non-physical phrases like ‘self acceptance’ are tough for us (dyslexics) to even identify with.
