#updatecast - The Project, Medication & Meditation

Welcome to a quick catch-up on what’s been happening behind the scenes at Truth About Dyslexia. If you’re juggling work, family, and a scramble of never-ending thoughts, this episode is for you. We explore some exciting updates about the show’s direction, touch on medication for dyslexia, and tackle popular questions about meditation.

On the podcast, I opened up about my ongoing quest to reach more adults who want practical, relatable dyslexia insights. We also chatted about how I’m approaching my own wellbeing, including experimenting with medication and meditation. Below, you’ll find a deeper dive into the key points if you’re short on listening time (though keep an eye out for the player at the top of the page if you prefer tuning in).

Why We’re Expanding Our Impact

Growing this community isn’t just about bigger numbers. It’s about connecting with people who feel misunderstood and giving them tools to thrive. I’m on a mission to share stories, strategies, and resources so you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Dyslexia is a unique brain wiring, and we’re all still navigating what works best in day-to-day life.

A big step is increasing our reach by sharing personal stories from listeners, so people in similar situations can relate. I’m constantly learning what kind of content spark your curiosity—be it interviews, quick tips, or deeper chats about mental wellness. All these directions help carve out a space where we break down misconceptions about dyslexia in simple, genuine ways.

“Everyone learns differently, so creating resources that speak directly to our unique strengths is crucial.”

My Approach to Medication

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with medication, and it’s been an interesting journey. Some days I notice better focus, and other days I don’t feel much difference at all. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so I’m taking notes and adjusting along the way. If you’re considering medication, remember to speak with a professional before making any decisions.

The main reason I wanted to share this is to let people know there’s no shame in getting a little pharmaceutical support. Some of us need that boost to harness our brain’s natural creativity, and that’s okay. At the same time, it’s important to remain patient, because results can vary from day to day.

For anyone questioning whether medication is right for them, here are a few points I’ve found helpful:

• Explore options with a trusted healthcare professional.
• Keep a journal to track changes in mood, focus, or energy.
• Seek feedback from friends or family who notice any shifts.
• Remember that medication is just one tool—holistic wellbeing matters too.

Answering Common Meditation Questions

I get asked a lot about meditation. “Is it just sitting in silence trying to think of nothing?” Not exactly. It’s about creating a little pause in the chaos, so you can observe thoughts without being dragged into them. For many of us with dyslexia, it’s easy to get swept away by a racing mind, and meditation can help anchor that wild tide.

A few questions that often pop up:

• How long should I meditate for? Start with two or three minutes, then see if you want to stretch it to five or ten.
• What if I can’t sit still? Try moving meditations like walking or simple yoga. There’s no rule that says you must cross your legs and hum.
• Does it really help? It might not turn you into a Zen master overnight, but it can give you space to breathe and refocus.

I personally enjoy short, guided sessions. They keep me from getting lost in my own head. Consistency seems key, so even a few short sessions a week can help reset the day.

What’s Next for Truth About Dyslexia

The future includes new episode formats that dig into listener questions, more conversations with amazing guests, and extra resources you can swiftly put to use. We’re aiming for a friendly, info-packed approach that cuts through fluff and meets your needs without overwhelming you.

I’m also excited to invite more interaction, like Q&A episodes or open calls, so you can share tips and experiences. This community is built on real stories and genuine support, not complicated theories or faceless advice.

If you have ideas or want to see certain topics covered, drop me a message. This show is a collective effort and grows best when we all contribute.
