Intuition, The Future & Disorientation

Have you ever stumbled on something from years ago that made you smile? That was me when I replayed this episode I did 2–3 years back. I was buzzing with energy, and it reminded me how much we can grow over time while still staying connected to our roots.

This episode is all about intuition and dyslexia. It’s a topic I’ve often glossed over recently, but there’s something magical about looking back and seeing where those ideas began. If you’re curious about how intuition can help you navigate the ups and downs of dyslexia, stick around.

A Surprise Look Back

When I listened to younger me, I could almost hear the phone mic plugin crackling away. The audio is surprisingly good, though. It’s funny how technology moves forward, yet sometimes we remember those simpler setups more fondly. They carried a raw, honest energy.

In this throwback, I sound eager, wide-eyed, and ready to explore every corner of dyslexia and ADHD. I still have that spark, but I’ve added a bit of calm reflection too. This contrast between then and now highlights a key point: we never stop growing, especially when it comes to managing our neurodiverse minds.

The Power of Intuition

Intuition is often overlooked—especially in a world that loves data, plans, and spreadsheets. But for many of us with dyslexia, it’s a hidden superpower. We pick up on patterns, connections, and subtle feelings others might miss. We sometimes just know when to make a leap.

During the episode, I talk about how intuition guided me through those early challenges of building confidence. There’s a real sense of trust that develops when you follow your gut instinct. It might not always come with a roadmap, but it can lead you to new places you never expected to see.

“Our intuition is so powerful, we sometimes forget it’s there, but it’s behind so many of our best decisions.”

Whether you’re new to dyslexia or you’ve been living with it for decades, trusting your own instinct can shift how you move through life.

Dyslexia and ADHD Adventures

Living with dyslexia or ADHD can feel like a rollercoaster. One minute you’re bursting with energy and creativity, the next you’re stumbling over simple tasks. Sometimes it helps to think of it as an adventure rather than a challenge—it keeps things more positive.

In the podcast, I offer a few tips on how to ride that ride:

• Embrace spontaneity when it appears. Ideas often pop up out of nowhere—capture them before they vanish.
• Stay open-minded. Dyslexia and ADHD can lead you to solutions that others might overlook.
• Lean on community. We don’t have to do this alone. Connect with fellow dyslexics, ADHDers, or anyone who just “gets it.”

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Your difference is your strength.” I truly stand by that. It’s how we discover new ways of thinking and operating, even if it doesn’t always align with what the world expects.

Key Insights to Remember

Here are a few big themes I chat about in the episode, especially for those looking for a more intuitive approach on their dyslexia journey:

1. Listen to That Inner Voice – It can sometimes be drowned out by external noise. Trust it when you sense a bigger picture forming.
2. Experiment Bravely – If something in you says, “Hey, let’s try this,” have a go. Try small changes to your routine or pursue a creative hobby.
3. Reflect on Your Growth – We’re all in a state of flux. Whether that’s your reading speed or how you manage your day, look for small victories.

Dyslexia isn’t static. Our bodies, minds, and methods evolve—and that’s a wonderful thing to notice. Two or three years can fly by, yet if we’re open to growth, we’ll see the difference clearly.

Wrapping Up with a Smile

It’s an honour that we’re still topping charts like Feedspot’s 2022 list. That shows how vital these conversations are. We’re all learning about ourselves every day, whether we’re diving into the power of intuition or discovering new tricks to tame the ADHD mind.

I might just dust off that phone mic plugin again—it brought an honesty that’s hard to replicate.

• Stay Curious: Your best ideas often come when you least expect them.
• Trust Your Instincts: Let those intuitive flashes guide you forward.
• Embrace Community: Share your story with others who understand.
• Keep Laughing: Dyslexia can be a serious topic, but humour brings balance.
