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.
