Truth About Dyslexia

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.

If you love someone with a dyslexic or ADHD brain, this one's for you. A listener called Emily asked for it, and it's the episode I wish every partner could hear.

The one question that ends the "I told you" fight: "What's your picture?"
Why Monday him and Thursday him are both real, and what "what's your battery at?" does about it
How a four word text becomes a six hour rabbit hole, and how to pull him out
A short bit for the blokes, because she's going to send you this
