The Susan Sheehan Podcast

ep43. Mary Jo Meehan On Being Adopted, Dyslexic And Finding Solace In Poetry

Mary Jo Meehan joins us this week to talk about how she walks

through life against the backdrop of being adopted as a baby, and being dyslexic and not learning to read until she was 12. Both wrapped with shame and stigma and how she has worked through that, aided by being a psychotherapist, hard work and most of all love. Mary Jo shares her moving poetry with us throughout the podcast.
