Dyslexic Life with Jo Rees THE PODCAST!
Welcome to Dyslexic life with Jo Rees, the podcast.
A place where I provide a weekly overview of where Dyslexia is showing up in my life.
As a dyslexia teacher and assessor, it shows up quite a lot in my life in terms of how I support and serve people!
As a parent of three children with dyslexic profiles it shows up quite a lot in things that happen with us at home,!
Finally, as somebody who is dyslexic themselves and navigating trying to be a parent and run a business and stay afloat it shows up quite a lot there too.
Do you wanna know the truth about Dyslexia where it hides and how to find it?
Then this is the podcast for you, and if you are dyslexic and you’re looking for a place to come, where you don’t feel quite so alone this is also the place for you!
so sit back relax for the next 10- 15 mins and enjoy at dyslexic life with Jo Rees, the podcast!
Normalising dyslexia and dyslexic errors as well as highlighting and identifying those dyslexic strengths!
Dyslexic Life with Jo Rees THE PODCAST!
S3 Ep14 -Back-to-School, Year 11 Pressure, & Thriving in the Chaos
This week, I tried something new: recording the podcast on video and streaming at the same time. Why? Because the messy, real-time reality of dyslexia + ADHD is worth normalising.
Inside the episode:
- Back-to-school the “last-minute” way — why doing it in the final week actually reduces stress for dyslexic/ADHD brains, and how my pop-up parent community The POD (Parents of Dyslexics) followed along with checklists and lives.
- Year 11 & GCSE pressure — my daughter’s “clicker” experiment (41 GCSE mentions in one day!) and a practical exercise to set your own happy-heart grades + a three-column priorities list.
- When routines slip — I mix up times, miss calls, and then… self-talk, compassion, and putting strategies back in place.
- Coaching, ducks, and clarity — why my ducks aren’t in a row (but I know where they are), and how mentoring helps me decide what truly matters this week.
- Running a business while parenting neurodivergent teens — the “hattrick” of interruptions and knowing when to pause and try again in a better window.
- Conferences & CPD — Isle of Wight conference prep, speaking in London (mid/late September), and renewing my Dyslexia Practising Certificate without the overwhelm.
If you’re navigating school transitions, GCSE season, or simply trying to keep your ducks (chaotic as they are) swimming in the same pond — this one’s for you.
