Episode 68 - Dyslexia and Reading Long E-mails

That feeling you get when you get one heck of a loooong e-mail!

This is a question that came up in our membership The Hive and ther person seeking help was desperate for that hack that would solve their problem.

Often, with dyslexia, the reading is not the problem, its the comprehension.

Comprehension is the understanding of teh whole text, not just the words. This usually comes about when you notice that you have re-read the same text multple times, and when you get to the end and relaise that you took none of that in.

Ofcourse there are loads of things which we could recomend. Theres a ton of assivtive technology and coloured filters you could use which might help. But I am sorry to say that, when we want real sucess with managing our dyslexia, the reality is that there is no one hack that will solve everything for you. And, though we could recommend loads of really helpful things, it is usually down to the individual needs as some things just won't work for you and the way your brain works.

In this episode I share with you some suggestions which we believe could help with thsi specific dyslexia challenge and what we think you should do to get ever lasting sucess.

Episode 66 - Understanding Working Memory with Dyslexia

What is working memory? How does it affect my day-to-day work, and how can I better understand working memory so that I can navigate the challenges and thrive?

These are just some of the questions my 1:1 coaching clients ask me and one that I am all too familiar with myself!

Working memory can purhapes be one of the hardest things to understand about dyslexia for ourselves and to explain to other people. And it is often the most maskes challenge.

When we understand dyslexia and working memory, we can start to impliment strategies to navigate the challenge, better explain it to others, and build confidence.

In this episode I share with you real stories from my own experience which demonstrates how working memory affects my day-to-day work, and how understanding it better allows me to create straegies that really work and help me to thrive.

Episode 64 - Finding Strategies to Support Your Dyslexia

In this week's episode I share with you how I work with my 1:1 clients to help spot patterns and create stratgeies which work with your brain to better navigate challenges of your dyslexia.

The first step is to... you guessed it... undertsnad dyslexia. Because when you understand what is going on you can understand how it affects you and teh task you're trying to work (Reports, Time Management, or even just claening your house).

Second step is to identify what's going on when things do go well and you find it a breeze navigating the same challenge. WHen we've identidied these little triggers, we can developp strategies to work around them to build something taht will work around how your brain naturally thinks.

I also share the key take-aways from my weekend at the Dyslexia Show.

Episode 63 - Understanding what is Dyslexia Rewind

This week's episode is a rewind episode from Episode 4 when we discuss 'What is Dyslexia'.

If we better understand dyslexia better we can work out better systems to support us.

The more we understand dyslexia, it does two things:

• We understand better systems to support us, and
• We can better accept the challenges of dyslexia.

Talking to other people with dyslexia and understanding the reality of dyslexia, with the broader range of challenges beyond under spelling and reading, helps to feel less isolated and alone.

When you know that you're not the only one experiencing these broad range of challenges, they seem more manageable.

Key topics:

• Why we first need to understand dyslexia,
• How Broad the Challenges and Strengths are with Dyslexia,
• Discussing the reality helps us to feel less alone, and
• How you can navigate all of the frutrating emotions.

Episode 62 - Dyslexia and How to Navigate Tiredness

Whenever I talk about dyslexia and tiredness, analytics go crazy!

And, it got me thinking. Why is this topic so popular?

I think the answer is that it's one of the least covered topics when we talk about dyslexic challenges.

There's something about this topic that for people with dyslexia, it makes them say "Yes! That's totally me!" "I never associated that with my dyslexia!". It makes people with like you're not alone in this challenge.

So, I thought it was time we talked about how best to navigate tiredness with dyslexia.

In this episode, I share two recent, real-life conversations I've had with two separate 1:1 clients of mine. In these conversations, the core of the issues was tiredness, and feeling judged and guilt for trying to follow what we think people expect of us, rather than following what works best for how our brains work.

I too use to get tried every afternoon when I worked in the corporate world. Now working for myself, in the ways which work best for me and my brain, I am more productive than I have ever been.

In this episode I will share how you can become more productive by working in the way which best works for you!

Key topics:

• Why do we get tired with dyslexia?
• How others get tired, and
• What you can do to navigate this challenge.

Epsiode 61 - Dyslexia and Procrastinating

It doesn't matter how important the task is. If it's not fum and interesting, or I think it's going to be a challenge for my dyslexia, it will get left to the last minute to complete the task.

It often comes with so much guilt and shame that you've left the task so late that you dare not share this with anyone!

This is so common for neurodiverse people particularly with Dyslexia and/or ADHD!

Once we understand how and why if affects our performance, we can put strategies in place to support us in these areas.

In this episode I share a story about when this has happened to me recently, like so many people with dyslexia. And how I used my strategies which I have in place to support me through the challenge.

Hopefully this gives you some tips on what you can do next time you feel like you're procrastinating over a really important, yet boring task!

Key topics:

• Feeling guilt and shame,
• Why we procrastinate, and
• How putting in strategies help navigate this challenge and build resilience over the feelings of guilt and shame.
