Dyslexia in Adults

About Dyslexia in Adults

Welcome to the Dyslexia in Adults podcast, a weekly podcast discussing the reality of dyslexia, but only in adults. I'm Natalie, the Founder of Dyslexia in Adults, and I am incredibly passionate about talking specifically about adult dyslexia. It frustrates me so much when people talk about child dyslexia with only a cursory mention of adult dyslexia. When you think about it, there are more adults with dyslexia as nearly seventy percent of the worlds population are over the age of eighteen! There is also a wave of adults being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, with little or no information about how to navigate the challenges that are specific to adults with dyslexia. It also doesn't help those people who want to help adults with dyslexia; line managers, work colleagues, friends, family, if the only information available is that to support children as opposed to what it means to have and support dyslexia in adulthood. I have rolled up my sleeves, and I am determined to create a space where we only talk about adult dyslexia. It's not part of the conversation, it is the conversation. Come and join the conversation and help us grow the community. All I ask is that, if you find the content valuable, please rate, review and share this podcast to help others find it.

   Dyslexia Unlocked Mini Series: Strategies Unlocked

   In this second mini-series episode, I unpack part two of the successful adult framework: strategies. Why hard work alone stops working, the pattern behind burnout, and the simple shift that makes everything feel lighter. In this episode: Why hard work becomes the default (and only) strategy for so many dyslexic adults The two patterns behind poor energy management, and why "just push through and crash later" stops working in midlife The client who arrived with a bag full of strategies and still couldn't leave the office before 8pm My 80:20 rule: the practical way to think about reasonable adjustments in real life, not in theory Real-life breakdowns of the 80:20 rule in action, from the supermarket to writing a report at work Why doing 200% isn't proof you're capable, it's actually what's making you inefficient One line to take with you: You don't need to do more. You need to do things differently.

   Dyslexia Unlocked Mini Series: Confidence Unlocked

   My book Dyslexia Unlocked (Bloomsbury Publishing) is out now. In this first mini-series episode, I unpack part one of the successful adult framework: confidence. Why dyslexic adults stay stuck, the stories that shape us, and the shift that changes everything. In this episode: Why low confidence in dyslexic adults usually starts at school The teacher comment that stayed with me for years How school-era beliefs quietly follow us into work and shrink our careers The client who turned down a CEO role over company-wide emails Why "superpower vs. something I hate" is a false choice — and the third way The reframe: those "easy" tasks aren't actually easy, not for you or the 700 million dyslexic people worldwide One line to take with you: Confidence isn't about fixing yourself. It's about changing how you see yourself.
