#updatecast - What’s Going On & A Big Thank You

Ever feel like life sneaks up on you while you’re busy juggling a hundred things? This podcast episode captures that mood. After a hiatus from posting regular updates, I’m back with an honest look at what’s been happening behind the scenes.

In this episode, I share how I’ve been balancing my personal goals with the twists and turns of day-to-day life. I talk about living with dyslexia, making sense of pauses and restarts, and learning to embrace uncertainty. If you’ve ever wondered how others manage constant change, you’ll feel right at home.

Where I’ve Been

It’s been a while since I recorded an episode, and that gap wasn’t part of any grand plan. I had days that felt intense, and others that were unexpectedly quiet. Life sometimes hits the pause button, and that happened here.

I took time to reflect on what I wanted to share. I realised I needed space to reconnect with my own mind and figure out what was next for the podcast. This meant letting myself recharge without guilt.

Embracing the Realities of Dyslexia

Living with dyslexia means I’m used to adapting. Even when I plan carefully, distractions appear. This can be tough, but it’s also a chance to re-organise priorities and keep on learning.

In the episode, I mentioned:

• How dyslexia shaped my early struggles with routine.
• The importance of finding new ways to stay focused.
• Why we should honour small achievements, like managing daily tasks.

I’m thankful that dyslexia has taught me not to get stuck on perfection. It’s more about being voyagers on a journey than reaching a final destination.

Navigating Through Life’s Changes

Embracing change has been the core of this episode. We often look for certainty, but life doesn’t always deliver it. Sometimes that constant flux is where we discover hidden skills.

“The world feels chaotic at times, but I’ve come to see it’s in the chaos that I find fresh ideas.”

It’s about shifting our perspective. Knowing we can still move forward even if we don’t have every detail mapped out. I’ve come to trust progress over perfection. That choice eases the pressure to have everything figured out from day one.

Looking Ahead

Now that I’m back, I’ve got fresh projects planned. I’m eager to bring more candid conversation on dyslexia, mindset, and navigating life’s transitions with a little humour. In future episodes, I’ll unpack:

1. Practical habits for staying on track.
2. Stories from fellow dyslexics who’ve excelled in unconventional ways.
3. Methods to rebuild your confidence when life knocks you down.

Think of each episode as a pep talk to keep you motivated and feeling less alone.

• The creative process can be messy but also exciting.
• Pausing isn’t weakness, it’s a chance to recharge.
• Dyslexia can fuel fresh ideas and resilience.
• Sharing where you are, even if it’s unfinished, helps others connect.
