This week, I’m talking about the first full week of term—the one where clubs start, routines get real, and tiredness hits. Inside:

  • Rebel Up mentoring — powerful breakthroughs as we start with “love your dyslexic brain” and unpick how your brain works.
  • The POD (Parents of Dyslexics) — September pop-up is buzzing: weekend meltdowns, why they happen, and proactive supports that help. Join here: POD – Parents of Dyslexics (sign-up)

  • CPD & practising certificate — head down, training done; socials a bit quieter because… bandwidth is real.
  • Uni send-off — the invisible mental load we carry for our kids (and the space that returns once a big milestone passes).
  • Masking at home — how strong family structures can hide genuine needs at school, and why proactive systems beat firefighting.
  • Parenting theme for the year — keynotes on raising successful dyslexics and protecting mental health/anxiety:
  • The “over-delivery” debate — after my GCSE post picked up traction, I unpack what I mean: when effort ≠ attainment, compensatory strategies, and working with (not against) a dyslexic/ADHD brain. Chime in with your view!
  • Book progress — back into a writing rhythm on navigating the education system; aiming to pitch to a publisher.
