I, like many dyslexics, (sadly) grew up thinking I was stupid. I don’t want anyone else thinking they are dumb, less valued than those around them, or not good enough because their brain isn’t “normal.” That’s why I created the Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast. Episode by episode a community of badass dyslexics has formed to show the world that dyslexia truly is a superpower. So whether you are a family member or educator of an awesome dyslexic or whether you have dyslexic superpowers yourself I welcome you to the tribe.
In April 2019 the podcast changed direction a bit to include a very important audience: dyslexic kids. The Treasuring Your Dyslexic Superpowers series is a two part show. The first includes Super D, the dyslexic superhero as he goes on adventures helping dyslexics understand their brains better and realize they are beautiful not broken. And the second is an interview with a real life dyslexic superhero.
Episodes come out every Tuesday and alternate between a chat with a real life dyslexic superhero and an adventure with Super D, the dyslexic superhero.

Episode 109: Jillian Kaster chats about the journey of accepting herself and going from ashamed of her dyslexia to proud of it.
"I had so much shame built around this (dyslexia). Even as a teacher I was scared to tell my kindergarteners that I struggled too because I was worried what if they tell their parents and then their parents are going to know and then I'm going to get in trouble or they will find me out." -Jillian Kaster

Customer Reviews
BEST. EVER.
We met the author & creator of this podcast while our daughter was being interviewed internationally for a STEM design she made that was gaining a lot of attention, and my daughter shared she had dyslexia. Ms Gabby interviewed her and was absolutely amazing. Not only did Gabby somehow affirm and increase her confidence, but she helped open the door of communication for her story to be shared and how families can mutually support one another through every stage of dyslexia from struggle, to diagnosis, to thriving with tools in place for success. Nobody learns the same way, which means we all bring new material into the world, and we are so happy to see what Gabby brings us all with this podcast. I’ve sent it to every family I know w dyslexia and will continue to do so. Keep up the amazing work and THANK YOU for helping to make our world better by sharing your self exactly as you are, with the world.
