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.

Dyslexia and Supplements - My Top Picks 23.08.2021 12:32
Do you use supplements to help with you Dyslexia (and/or ADHD)? I think we have all tried a few over the years. I wanted to talk about what I do on a regular basis and 2 I am trying at the moment to see if it helps. Dyslexia does not have a lot of research in this way that I can find - It is more lived experiences - so here is mine. Here is the link I mention to what I am trying - https://amzn.to/...
#updatecast - Uncertainty, Dyslexia and a hard conversation 18.08.2021 12:58
Hey my tribe, my people that get the dyslexic way and are opening their eyes to how it effects them. I wanted to do an Updatecast talking about my journey and experiences at the moment.

Wait list for The Confident D...
Interview: Winning & Losing with Dyslexia 16.08.2021 36:45
I have had this request a bit recently to interview other awesome Dyslexic's. So when one pops out of the shadows - I locked him down for a story telling session. What I love about this story is the other side - on the outside you would think just a successful person with a few bumps along the way - but inside there was always something missing until the realisation around Dyslexia. For anonymity...

💥 Bonus Episode: Coaching Call with Allison 05.08.2021 1:09:12
I don't usually release coaching calls with clients but Allison has kindly allowed me to :) Her story is like so many I hear, so you will probably relate to some or all of it. This is much longer than a usual dyslexia podcast so it is a great one to listen to when going for a long walk or drive. The first half is going though Allisons story of Dyslexia, school and life. Then the second half we dig...
Dyslexia and ADHD in Adults 04.08.2021 13:00
A question I never really had when I was younger was - Do I also have ADHD? It honestly never crossed my mind. For me personally I realised it was part of who I am when a friend asked to grab a coffee and find out more about the work I was doing in the Adult Dyslexia space. He mentioned he had just been diagnosed with ADHD and told me his story. He said one of the things that he learned was that i...

Taking Credit As A Dyslexic 28.07.2021 14:48
Do you sometimes feel hopeless at taking credit? Really accepting that you have done something super well? Is it more likely that you don't really sit with how awesome you are and just run to the next thing? Maybe you have even learned to pretend that you are thankful. If you are like many dyslexics we really struggle to take credit for what we do, to sit in the happiness zone. We feel like we win...
Perfectionism & Dyslexia 26.07.2021 14:54
Ever feel like the perfectionist of the year - like every year? Are you like super hard on yourself when things don't work out? Is the picture of perfection so clear in your mind - when you don't meet it you feel like a failure? Now don't get me wrong perfectionism is not just a dyslexic trait that shows up (a lot!) in adults. But it does show up in specific was and with a specific reason. Hope yo...
Over Thinking & Over Feeling 21.07.2021 12:26
A really common challenge with Dyslexia is the over thinking & over feeling side of life. It can be misunderstood and is rarely connected to the dyslexic mind. But as you start to see the coronation it will open your eyes.
Reading, Writing & All That Stuff 19.07.2021 13:37
In this episode we look into dyslexia in adults. We talk about Reading, Writing & all that stuff (spelling, tracking and more). We dig into trigger words and similar things - the words people truly struggle with and why. I really wanted to touch on this topic but not get lost on reading & writing along as it is a smaller part of dyslexia than people think.
What actually is dyslexia? 14.07.2021 14:12
Dyslexia - What does it actually mean? You may be thinking is he just going to talk about spelling, reading & writing? We already know that. Many of you will be thinking... maybe he has a few things up his sleeve to let us in on. Well you would be right. In this episode we will talk about: - How all kids operate in a dyslexic way up until the age of 3 or 4 - How the phrase 'A picture says 1000...
My Dyslexia Story - Start Here 12.07.2021 37:13
Adult Dyslexia is one of the biggest hidden challenges I believe in the world today. Many people live with it undiagnosed, comparing themselves to others and asking - 'why don't i measure up?' Using tools to navigate life that were never mean't for them. It's like at school Dyslexic's were gifted a 6-speed manual Ferrari for a brain - but were only ever taught to drive an automation corolla. It's...
Getting Stuck In My Head 08.07.2021 11:46
The present moment, over thinking - trapped in my head. My head sometimes seems like a prison, me like a robot and like I am not in control. But occasionally i get glimpses of the present moment in reality. They are beautiful. If you struggle to be present - this is for you.
Those Runaway Days - Where everything had a mind of its own 06.07.2021 13:20

Being Sick & Dyslexia: Tips & A New Perspective 01.07.2021 11:58
I feel I should have done this podcast ages ago. We went through a pandemic right. Took a common cold for me to see it from a new perspective (oh I love you dyslexic Brain). I have been down with a cold or flu and wanted to share my experience and how dyslexia could help you get better. Please note I am not a doctor this is persona opinion.

Being Present & Grounded - A Dyslexic Challenge 24.06.2021 15:06
In a recent coaching session - i had a little Aha moment. A realisation about being present in my dyslexic mind. It is one of the reasons I value coaching & helping people is that with every session I grow. I found it so valuable it deserved it's own podcast. In this pod - I touch on: Being Grounded & Present in the Dyslexic Mind Do you have to be present only in reality? How can you bring this pr...

Inner Conversations & The Dyslexic Mind 16.06.2021 10:49
Have you ever had a conversation start up in your head? Unannounced its like 2 people are role playing in your mind. Some times it's super noticeable and other times you miss it? This does not happen to just dyslexics, but it happens to all dyslexic's I have spoken too (in varying amounts). How can you use this to your advantage to move forward and not just feel the negative effect of a mental fi...
Creating Deep Change Not Just Surface Level Stuff 15.06.2021 13:34
I find myself in a bunch of dyslexic facebook groups - Just watching. I love seeing the questions, the deep thoughts but more often than not I see a bunch of very very early - surface level challenges. Now I understand when you have just worked out you are dyslexic these kind of flashes of what are 'obvious' to me - seem like real 'aha' moments. I was probably like it when I realised what Dyslexi...
