Are you an adult with dyslexia? Maybe you are a parent of a dyslexic teenager or have a partner you know has dyslexia. This podcast could be just for you. My name is Stephen and at the age of 38 I have been on a journey for the last few years to discover more about my dyslexia & ADHD. I share stories and learnings that go beyond reading, writing and spelling challenges. Life lessons around communication, work, relationships and navigating the visual mind. I wish I had known what I know today about how my dyslexic mind works when I was younger. This podcast is to help people like me.

Based on my recent book by the same title, I share insights on relationships based on my past successes and failures. I am not a psychiatrist. I am not a psychologist. I am not a therapist. I'm just a regular guy who's been through a lot. I want to share my book and experiences in the hopes that others may avoid the same pitfalls and mistakes that I've made over the years. I believe in being completely honest and authentic. Therefore, my podcast (video and audio) will be completely unedited as far as my spoken content is concerned. As in life, we have to live with our mistakes and move on.
