    S4 E3 Lead With Your Strengths: The Most Powerful Strategy for Dyslexia & ADHD

    Send us a text In this episode, I explore what I believe is the most effective strategy for supporting dyslexia, ADHD, and neurodivergence: leading with strengths and trusting the rest will follow. I share personal stories from my own life and parenting journey, showing how strengths like music, performance, and communication can build confidence, resilience, and real-life skills  often doing more than direct academic intervention alone. We talk honestly about why so many dyslexic people feel like they “have no strengths,” how confidence can become a bigger barrier than dyslexia itself, and why parents are sometimes scared to fully embrace their child’s gifts. I also share powerful examples of how giving children autonomy, permission to step back, and freedom to enjoy their strengths can unlock incredible growth. If you’re a parent, educator, or dyslexic adult who feels stuck in the “fixing” cycle, this episode will help you see strengths differently  and why they deserve to be the main character, not the subplot.

    Season 4 Episode 2 - Stop over complicating things and start thinking differently.

    Send us a text In this episode, I go back to basics, recording straight from my phone and reflecting on why simplicity often allows for more honesty and connection. I share updates from a busy week, including presenting on Creating Successful Dyslexics, upcoming projects, and new work focused on dyslexia-friendly text. The heart of this episode explores the power of thinking differently and why lived experience matters, how mindset shapes the dyslexic journey, and why questioning what we think we know is essential in education and life. I also introduce a new low-cost parent guide for supporting dyslexic children at home and end with a reminder to always look on the dyslexic side of life.
