Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast

I, like many dyslexics, (sadly) grew up thinking I was stupid. I don’t want anyone else thinking they are dumb, less valued than those around them, or not good enough because their brain isn’t “normal.” That’s why I created the Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast. Episode by episode a community of badass dyslexics has formed to show the world that dyslexia truly is a superpower. So whether you are a family member or educator of an awesome dyslexic or whether you have dyslexic superpowers yourself I welcome you to the tribe.

 

The podcast has two components:

One component is conversations with dyslexics from all walks of life as we focus on the positive aspects of dyslexia and prove one chat at a time that there are many ways to succeed as a person with dyslexia. The other component is what we call Kweshtens & Kapes. This is Q&A dyslexia style! Have a question for Gibby? Anything dyslexia goes! Send it to dyslexiaisoursuperpower@gmail.com

 

“Gibby, your podcast is amazing! Thank you so much for hopeful stories of superpower success, superpower strategies and a strong dose of superpower strength! My son’s superpowers are newly diagnosed and your podcast is helping us re-frame the beginning (and ending) of this story! Thank you!”

 

“I’ve never heard so many people be interviewed and had so much in common with them all in one place. I am so grateful for this podcast, it’s really helped me to learn more about myself. This podcast has really helped me with self confidence and is an asset to the dyslexic community.”
