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.

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...

In today’s episode I’m going to update you on my goals, adhd meds, we talk some NLP and more.

We speak a lot about awareness and acceptance. It is vital for all dyslexics to feel & realise they are not alone. It is a gift that allows you to start to move past (it is a process) some of the pain and struggle that you have lived with all your life. But what is on the other side of that? I have been thinking through this for a while, as I learn and filter what I am learning and it has brought...

Something many Dyslexics say is that they are just feeling out of control, life is not quite as clear as they thought. In this episode we dive into 2 big factors.

I Don't know about you but as I get older I am less open to change. I don't mean the little insignificant things, but real shifts in my mindset and growth. It's like keeping your body in shape changes as you get older, so does how your mind works. I wanted to talk through my thinking on this and how it works with our mind and I even make a discovery right at the end. Enjoy my Dyslexic Friends (and...

Dyslexia & Procrastination. I'm not sure about you but it's like my brain uses the distraction to procrastinate on purpose. I personally think it comes down to 2 reasons why we procrastinate on some things, but then don't on others. Let's dive into this podcast on dyslexia and procrastination. Also - In the podcast, I say my Instagram handle, but as I looked at it I realised I had misspelt it...

Ever feel one day you are super confident and make decisions you own.... then the next day you can't decide what to have for dinner? It's a real conundrum and makes us feel like something is not right, that we are not really confident and are just faking it. This is a common Dyslexic challenge and I want to tell you a story to see i you can relate.

I have a routine in place, but It keeps changing, I'm getting bored by this routine, my creativity is getting stifled because I keep forgetting something. These are things I hear from dyslexics I talk to, and the one in my head. In today's episode, I wanted to talk about the pendulum swing between routine & creative freedom. It is a one many dyslexic adults have to deal with.
