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...

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...

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. 

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. 

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.

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...

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. 

Fruaahhhhhh I shouted as a came back down the hill from my walk… my earphones glitching on every third step… this day was feeling like a runaway day already….

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.

I spent an hour at a 5 year olds school. I explain more in the podcast about the new ways of teaching, how to stay concious and whats coming up on the pod.

In a recent coaching session - i had a little Aha moment. A realisation about being present in my dyslexic mind.

Have you ever had a conversation start up in your head? Unannounced its like 2 people are role playing in your mind.

How can you use this to your advantage to move forward and not just feel the negative effect of a mental fi...

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.

I am seeing this more and more every day in our support group and others on Dyslexia. Is that dyslexia? What it says to me is how little the public knows about it. I want to dive into this loaded question and pose another question to get your mind whirrring.

Ever had those days where your brain is like - no. Not today. It has a mind of it's own right. It can be hard to see why this happens and you just feel broken... or I used to at least.
