Do you wish you had a guide or coach who has been where you are and has mapped out how to parent a child with dyslexia (without the overwhelm)?
Do you worry about your child’s self-esteem and mental health while carrying the shame of being unable to read? Are you staying up at night, staring at the ceiling with worry about your child’s future and the impact on your family?
I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast is your go-to guide for practical strategies on your dyslexia parenting journey. Together, we’ll build a deep understanding of dyslexia and give you the parenting tools you need to confidently navigate the world of dyslexia without sacrificing your relationship with your child. This journey may have its challenges, but you are not alone. You’ve got this—and we’re in it together!
For the past 8 years, I have been on my dyslexia mom journey. I have made mistakes, laughed, and cried along my parenting journey with my dyslexic daughter. I spent so much time on internet searches and social media, trying to figure it all out — how to get our daughter tested for dyslexia, where to find the right remediation, what accommodations work for her, when and how to tell her she was dyslexic, and how to protect her self-esteem through it all. Honestly, it took a huge toll on our family — and my sanity!
I finally realized that if I was going to keep my sanity and help my daughter thrive in this new dyslexia lifestyle, I had to trust my intuition about what was best for her and our family. I had done all the research, read all the books, and found a way to connect with my daughter, building a strong mother-daughter relationship that would outlive her school years. Of course, I have my fair share of bumps, bruises, and wrong turns along our journey, but one thing is constant - my love for my daughter, and that I can do this (figure out dyslexia and be the best mom to my daughter)! P.S. So can you!
I created a framework that was built on simple, proven strategies — small steps I could check off each day, giving me a real sense of progress (instead of endlessly scrolling through Instagram looking for answers).
It became a lifestyle that made parenting feel less like a constant chore and more like a meaningful relationship — filled with intention, fun, and laughter again. And now, I’m so ready to share it all with you!
If you’re ready for simple, proven strategies to confidently show up for your child with dyslexia, this podcast is for you!
Take a deep breath — you’re in the right place. It’s time to turn the page on overwhelm and step into confidence! Let’s begin.

DML 21: Dyslexic Voices - Mike Jones
Season 1 · Episode 21
lundi 12 octobre 2020 • Duration 45:55
Mike Jones is sharing his dyslexia journey on the show. It's not an easy story to tell, since growing up with dyslexia can be painful and challenging for so many children. By sharing his story, Mike hopes to bring more awareness of dyslexia to all schools and educators.
Did you know that the short film, MICAL, was based on Mike's story when he was seven years old and struggling to learn to read? When Mike was identified with dyslexia, his teachers were still unable and unwilling to help him. He couldn't even spell his own name. Mike's mother, Pat Jones, made the decision to learn everything she could about dyslexia, including the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach to teaching reading. She homeschooled Mike using what she learned about OG and developed games to help him learn. Pat changed Mike's future. Mike learned to not give up on himself. Now, Mike and his wife, Tiffany James, support families through their company, Nessy Learning. Mike has adapted his mother's games into digital games (apps) for children to learn to read.
