Truth About Dyslexia

Hey my awesome dyslexics. In this episode i wanted to touch on some stuff in my life I am dealing with, a few notes on the pod it's self and where the Truth About Dyslexia is looking to go over the years to come!

Dyslexics are wired differently. Would you agree? One of the key strings that ties everything together is - Time.  In this episode I want to chat about Dyslexia & Time - Where I see the challenges, an example of 'Just in time planning' and a tangent or two :) Enjoy.

I had a moment of reflection today. An experience happened where I handled it in such a 360 degree way. It showed how I am applying learnings in my life into the real world. This podcast is about the Dyslexic (right brained) trait of over reacting when someone interrupts either your hyper focus or your internal visual/emotional world.  This once change has had a profound impact on my relationships...

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. I never would have seen it from a dyslexic perspective until I became more aware of how we work.  It was like the penny dropped. Hope you love this episode. If you like it feel free to give it a like, review or shar...

As I passed the mechanic shop today - I caught a glimpse of my dyslexic mind firing on all cylinders. It was like I was out of my body watching what my mind was telling me. Maybe it was a belief I have - or maybe it is one all dyslexics have at some level? In this episode I talk about - Hiding from the truth. I even surprised myself at the end with a realisation! Interested in joining The Confiden...

How do Dyslexics learn the best? Many of us at school, in work, in life are personal development junkies. It's like a drug to learn more. Not always to change the world or become rich (that would be nice thought). But because it makes our ability to problem solve stronger and we love that right. In this episode I dive into the a key understanding about insight vs information that has come up from...

In this episode i wanted to touch on the Over/Under effect.

Hey awesome dyslexic peeps (and their advocates). Today's podcast is a bit of an update cast with what I am looking at with the pod going forward, I talk about a guest I am interviewing soon, changes to schedules and a new min-podcast I will be releasing which is really exciting!

Is it only dyslexics that self sabotage? How do you see what is really going on? How often does it happen to you? 🤔 This is so common that you are not alone. Dig deeper into what really matters on self sabotage - I open up the lid and have a chat on some great self sabotage stories of my own.

This is a 'BIG' one. Dyslexia is said to be all about reading, writing and spelling. But for those in the know.. we know it is more. We have an intuition about it.

Sometimes in the past I feel like I have not really been able to match up the effect with the steps before it (cause). The more steps involved the harder it can be. It feels like I have not been able to clearly learn from some of my mistakes. I wanted to talk through this as it has been running through my head in the last few days. Shout out to those amazing people who support our work each month...

So on the weekend I was getting my game on with the family. Connect 4, memory and some Jenga. Playing the game with Holly's daughter really got me seeing how firm we can be on something that is not right.  It helped me get even clearer on how I see myself and how I operate with changing my own mind and beliefs.

Many dyslexics have super visual minds. It can be powerful but also can create stories that don't really help us in the real world. This is the first time I have recorded a visual & auditory technique you can use. This one if focussed on reframing the idea of selling something (and touches on money too). It has been super powerful to me. I hope it adds a little value to your life. 

This was a super hard episode to record - It was not the episode I set out to record this morning I can tell you that! I decided to hold myself to account on a challenge I had been rubbing up against recently and seeing a lot of friction. I wanted to share how I am starting to deal with it (a way to go). This tool will help dyslexics who find themselves rubbing up against similar issues like - I a...

In this episode i want to dive into a couple of Anchors I use to change my state quickly. It's early days in testing this but I am sticking to it and really liking the outcome. Especially the sleep anchor for my over thinking dyslexic mind.

Ever have those days where you just feel like you failed. Like am I broken? Is this dyslexia or was I just a mistake? - Now that might sound harsh but we really do have those days.  If you have then this technique has really helped me see the light. I hope it works for you my dyslexic friend.

Now... I'm not going to say Dyslexics are the only one with confidence issues. They are natural for all humans. But how we deal with them can be a little bit different. I have said it before if Neurotypical people are a PC we are a Mac. Don't load the wrong program on to your machine right. In this episode we dive into what actually is confidence? Why is it hard to nail down? How do you step into...

In this episode I get a chance to talk to Jimi Hunt - He is locked down in a hotel trying to get back into New Zealand from Mexico (sounds like the plot to a far fetched movie). We talk about mental fitness vs mental health. How to look after your mental health (love his take!) and we touch on how he create $20 million dollars of PR for mental health. Lots of great points that will help dyslexics...
