S1.E5: Your Why – The Fuel That Keeps Dyslexics Moving

In Episode 5 of Dyslexia Unfiltered, host Andrea Pickard (diagnosed with dyslexia at 36) reveals the secret behind every goal worth achieving: your WHY.

For dyslexics, this isn’t just motivation it’s survival fuel. Andrea shares how her late diagnosis became the jigsaw piece that unlocked her mission and how yours can too.

Why do you want to achieve your goal? That single question gets you training in the rain, recording when you’re scared or starting over.

Andrea opens up:

  • The dream she buried in her 20's and revived at 40
  • Why family, fulfillment and growing through being an introvert pulls her forward
  • A reflection exercise to uncover your why
