Welcome to the debut episode of Dyslexia Decoded! I’m Teacher Maggie, and I’ll be honest—this podcast has been sitting on my heart and my hard drive since my 43rd birthday in September 2024. It’s now January 2025, and I’ve decided to release it, imperfections and all.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
•My journey with dyslexia, from eating my homework in 2nd grade to finding my hidden strengths.
•How moments of creativity and resilience shaped the educator I am today.
•Why perfectionism and fear of failure delayed this podcast—and why I’m embracing the idea of being bad at something on the way to being great.
I’m sharing this with the hope that it inspires you to start messy, dream big, and celebrate the journey—not just the destination.
Disclaimers:
•This episode was recorded months ago, so some references may feel slightly out of date.
•I’ve decided to release this unpolished first step as a reminder to myself and to you that progress matters more than perfection.
Together, let’s celebrate the incredible potential of dyslexic minds and the beauty of thinking differently.
