Years In The Making - It Is Nearly Here

Have you ever felt like you’re different from everyone else, but in a way that’s both exciting and confusing? That’s how I’ve often felt being dyslexic with a dash of ADHD. In the episode you’ll find at the top of this page, I dig deep into a space I call the Right Siders Tribe—my passion project built for people just like us.

In this episode, I share why this tribe matters so much and what it can offer you. If you’ve been longing for a supportive community that truly gets how your mind works, you’ll want to stick around. Let’s explore why we launched it, who it’s for and how it might just become your new favourite corner of the internet.

What is the Right Siders Tribe?

The Right Siders Tribe was born from a simple idea: we all need a place where we feel understood. For so many years, I felt like I was on the outside looking in. My mind was racing in all directions. Every standard solution to life’s challenges felt like it was built for someone else. Over time, I realised others with dyslexia or ADHD were in the same boat—brimming with creativity, energy and new ideas, but often misunderstood.

When I talk about this tribe, I’m talking about a space dedicated to our unique ways of thinking. It’s not about a standard set of rules that force you to fit in. It’s more like a dynamic group of free spirits who choose to embrace what makes them different. At its core, it’s a community that celebrates our odd quirks and finds solutions built specifically for our wiring.

Why We Created It

I’ve heard countless stories from dyslexic and ADHD adults who wrestle with self-doubt and anxiety. They wonder if they’ll ever feel normal. The thing is, that’s the wrong question—we’re not meant to be normal, whatever that means. We’re wired to see the world through a fresh lens, and that’s an amazing gift when you look at it the right way. But gifts can feel heavy if you’re carrying them alone.

I remember thinking: Why isn’t there a single space that merges inspiration, practical tips and a sense of belonging? That question sparked the idea for the Right Siders Tribe. I wanted to create an environment that encourages connection and growth, no matter where you’re starting out.

“I pour my heart out on this one to all the dyslexics and ADHD'ers out there!”

In the podcast, I open up about the reasons this project has taken so much of my energy and passion. It’s personal. I’ve walked that path of feeling isolated, and I don’t want others to face that same journey alone. We need a tribe that’s more than just a label or a tag—it’s a real community.

What to Expect

When you join the Right Siders Tribe, you don’t enter some stiff, formal structure. Instead, you get access to an evolving space that’s shaped by the people inside it. One day, there might be an online gathering that tackles a big topic—like how to stay focused when your mind is racing. Another day, you might stumble on a chat thread about the funniest mistakes we’ve made because we read emails too quickly (we’ve all been there!).

We’re also dedicated to:

  • Real Connection: Getting to know actual people, not just faceless profiles.
  • Practical Resources: Using checklists, short videos and discussions built for our patterns of thinking.
  • Fun & Humour: Celebrating the random and often hilarious moments that come from dyslexia or ADHD.
  • Shared Wins: Marking the small victories that mean so much—like getting through an unread email pile, or remembering why you walked into a room.

You can expect a mix of scheduled events and spontaneous chats. If you’re like me and sometimes feel time-blind, no worries. We’ll send reminders and keep gadget-based tasks simple. This tribe is designed with your mind in mind, so you won’t face harsh deadlines or complex rules.

Making the Most of It

Once you step inside, you’ll find lots of ways to participate. Maybe you’re a lurker who prefers to feel things out before jumping in. That’s fine. Or perhaps you’re the type who shares every brainwave. We welcome you too. The main thing is to be yourself.

If you’re not sure how to start, consider these approaches:

  • Introduce yourself in a group post—let people know your biggest challenge and your favourite unusual skill.
  • Join or create a mini event—these can be quick calls or online hangouts where we share wins and support each other.
  • Read along—maybe you’re a fan of short, bite-sized content. We try to keep posts concise so you can jump in and out easily.

Don’t feel pressured to do everything at once. Pick one way to engage and see where it leads you. The Right Siders Tribe isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing gold stars. It’s a place to feel supported in a world that sometimes feels too rigid.

Key Takeaways

  • The Right Siders Tribe is a passionate community built for dyslexic and ADHD minds.
  • It centre-stages real people and real conversations—no rigid rules, no stuffy vibes.
  • You’ll find resources, support and fun events that make life a bit easier.
  • We want you to celebrate your unique perspective rather than hide or apologise for it.

If this sounds like the kind of place you’ve been searching for, I’d love for you to give the latest episode a listen. The player’s up top, so hit play and dive deeper.
