Christian Women Thriving with Dyslexia Podcast

Life Lesson 2: The Power of Crumbs

Today's episode is titled "Life Lesson 2: The Power of Crumbs." Yes, crumbs. I have learned that even the smallest blessing from God is always more than enough. 

Life Lesson 1: We Don’t Need to be Fixed

Today's episode is titled Life Lesson 1: We Don't Need Fixed. You heard it correctly: One of the lessons that I have learned is that we do need to be cured because we do not have a disease. We are unique in thinking and learning differently; we are wired differently. So there's no need to fix anything about us. That is good news because we can now focus on putting the past behind us and moving forward.

Dyslexia, Reoccurring Grief and Depression

Today's episode is titled Dyslexia, Reoccurring Grief, and Depression. In some ways, grief has no end. What we learn from loss is that we will always miss what we lost, but life goes on. We find that we are no longer chained to our grief; it no longer controls us, and we learn that we still have life. Depression is always part of grief; it informs us that we are hurting inside. But with so many of our experiences, we learn to move on. I hope you gained something from the grief series and that you're well on your way to healing and moving on. Until next time.Hope

Dyslexia and Fear

Today's episode is titled "Dyslexia and Fear." King David said, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1. We, too, must answer these questions. Hopefully, you will come to the same conclusion as David: the LORD is my strength, whom shall I fear... We can also come to the same conclusion that we are not afraid of dyslexia. For some, we have made dyslexia our enemy. An enemy that we fear. But Christ came so we would no longer fear but take hold and embrace what Christ has done for us... He has taken away our fear and given us His peace. Thank you for joining me for another Dyslexia Uniquely Gifted. 

Guilt and Dyslexia

Today's episode is titled "Guilt and Dyslexia." Guilt is problematic because it is based on how we perceive ourselves. We may blame ourselves for not birthing a 'normal' child or not being able to fix our child. As adults, we may blame others for how life has turned out, or we resent that things did not turn out as expected, and we feel guilty about our not-so-nice feelings. But we don't have to stay in that place called guilt. We can give it away. Yes, we can stop carrying it by giving it to Jesus. 

Anger and Dyslexia

Today's episode is titled 'Anger and Dyslexia.'  Sometimes, anger feels like the safest place to be. It buys us time to cope with the truth—the truth we would rather not face. But anger, like love, always finds a way to express itself. The good news is that God is bigger than our anger, and He waits for us in those angry places until we finally turn the pain underneath the anger over to Him. He is long-suffering toward us. We owe Him so much. It is also good news that we don't need to stay angry. We can reclaim the life Christ has for us. Do it today. Give Him your anger, and He, in turn, will give you His peace. 

Anxiety and Dyslexia

Today's episode is titled 'Anxiety and Dyslexia.' Feeling anxious has become common until we don't often associate it with dyslexia and grief. It's real and can last for years; however, it can be managed so that it does not control us. The grief cycle is just that, a cycle. The good news is it does get better as we know more about ourselves, recognize it for what it is, and bring Christ into those moments. The Bible tells us to grieve with hope. That gives us purpose and a reason to keep moving forward. Thank you for joining me on another Dyslexia: Uniquely Gifted podcast.

Denial and Dyslexia

Today's episode is titled 'Denial and Dyslexia.'  This word, denial, has sometimes gotten a bad rap... However, it can help us out. How, you might ask... well, denial has a way of buying us time to process and adjust to our new normal. However, we don't want to stay in denial longer than necessary. Denial allows us to look at things differently and hopefully accept the good in having dyslexia. Thank you for joining me as we discuss how we, as adults, have coped with dyslexia. And what God is always doing.
