    Send us a text With Dyslexia Awareness month now in full swing this weeks podcast episode I dig deep into the purpose and reasons behind me doing what I do.  How society views, perceives and understands dyslexia hugely shapes how successful a person can be. This is the biggest issue when it comes to dyslexia and it remains so misunderstood.

    S3 Ep 15 - First Full Week Back: Parenting While Neurodivergent, “Over-Delivery,” & Uni Goodbyes

    Send us a text This week, I’m talking about the first full week of term—the one where clubs start, routines get real, and tiredness hits. Inside: Rebel Up mentoring — powerful breakthroughs as we start with “love your dyslexic brain” and unpick how your brain works.The POD (Parents of Dyslexics) — September pop-up is buzzing: weekend meltdowns, why they happen, and proactive supports that help. Join here: POD – Parents of Dyslexics (sign-up) dyslexiclifewithjorees.comCPD & practising certificate — head down, training done; socials a bit quieter because… bandwidth is real.Uni send-off — the invisible mental load we carry for our kids (and the space that returns once a big milestone passes).Masking at home — how strong family structures can hide genuine needs at school, and why proactive systems beat firefighting.Parenting theme for the year — keynotes on raising successful dyslexics and protecting mental health/anxiety:18 Sept 2025 — 2nd Twickenham Dyslexia Conference, The Exchange, Twickenham.

    S3 Ep14 -Back-to-School, Year 11 Pressure, & Thriving in the Chaos

    Send us a text This week, I tried something new: recording the podcast on video and streaming at the same time. Why? Because the messy, real-time reality of dyslexia + ADHD is worth normalising. Inside the episode: Back-to-school the “last-minute” way — why doing it in the final week actually reduces stress for dyslexic/ADHD brains, and how my pop-up parent community The POD (Parents of Dyslexics) followed along with checklists and lives.Year 11 & GCSE pressure — my daughter’s “clicker” experiment (41 GCSE mentions in one day!) and a practical exercise to set your own happy-heart grades + a three-column priorities list.When routines slip — I mix up times, miss calls, and then… self-talk, compassion, and putting strategies back in place.Coaching, ducks, and clarity — why my ducks aren’t in a row (but I know where they are), and how mentoring helps me decide what truly matters this week.Running a business while parenting neurodivergent teens — the “hattrick” of interruptions and knowing when to pause and try again in a better window.Conferences & CPD — Isle of Wight conference prep, speaking in London (mid/late September), and renewing my Dyslexia Practising Certificate without the overwhelm.If you’re navigating school transitions, GCSE season, or simply trying to keep your ducks (chaotic as they are) swimming in the same pond — this one’s for you.
