Truth About Dyslexia

Ever had a text that just says "can we have a quick chat?" and lost your whole night to it?
One small comment, and your dyslexic or ADHD brain builds a full movie where you're in trouble. Here's why it hits so hard, and what helps.
In this episode:
What rejection sensitivity (RSD) feels like, and why it lands at a nine out of ten
Priya the wedding cake designer, and the four words that wrecked her night
Why years of red pen at school wire a dyslexic brain to expect criticism
The four ways it shows up: snapping, shutting down, giving up, people pleasing

Got told you were dyslexic as a kid, and then nothing else? Now you've got seventeen unfinished projects, you interrupt people, and you can't sit through a movie without your phone.
There might be a second thing going on. I found mine at 32, when a mate pointed at my foot tapping under the table.
In this episode:
Why ADHD so often hides behind a dyslexia diagnosis
10 signs it might be both, from unfinished books to the apology machine
Kelly the florist who can't stop interrupting, and why she's not being rude
Sanjay the bus driver with a garage full of hobbies
What to do with your number, and what changed for me after my second diagnosis
Keep count as you listen. If you get to five or more, it's worth a chat with a GP or psychologist.

The overwhelm blanket: when you're stuck between the now and the future
The four boxes, and which one is actually good for planning
Gus the line painter, who was planning from the wrong box
What one month sober and skipping meds on high days has shown me

I just got back from Singapore. My first proper long haul trip since COVID, and I'd built that plane ride up into a monster in my head.
Spoiler. I was fine. Here's what the trip taught me about burnout, AI and finally finishing stuff.

Why we build things up in our heads, then turn out absolutely fine
Why my ADHD brain is at its best in holiday chaos
Burnout: thriving with too many strings in the air, until you're not
Why AI is the first tech that gets us from 80% to 100%
The 3D printed fidget toy Croc charm that Claude designed for our family

You can land a plane in a storm. You can't do your tax return. That's not laziness. That's dopamine.
If you've got a dyslexic or ADHD brain, this is the episode that explains why the boring stuff feels impossible, and what to do about it. No textbook. Just pictures.
In this episode:
Why dopamine is the "go and get it" chemical, not the happy one
Nadia the air traffic controller who hasn't done her taxes in three years
Brett the tattoo artist who does four days of work in four hours at 11pm
The four things that actually start our engine (and why "important" isn't one of them)
Cheap fuel: why the phone makes the spreadsheet impossible
Five things that work for me, plus the 80 plus 1 rule
Not about medication. About what's actually going on in there, either way.
