Reclaiming Your Boundaries: Shame-Free Learning and Finding Your Voice w/Russell Van Brocklen

What if the voice you've been silencing your whole life is the very voice the world needs to hear? What if your "difference" isn't a deficit—but your superpower? In this powerful Wisdom Wednesday conversation, Nyomi sits down with Russell Van Brocklen—educator, advocate, and champion for shame-free learning—to talk about breaking cycles of shame, understanding how dyslexic brains work differently, and reclaiming your voice even when the world tried to silence you. Russell shares the neuroscience behind dyslexia (with actual brain scans!), practical tools parents can use to help their kids, his own journey from being told he was "lazy" to discovering he was "special," and why AI was literally made for dyslexic thinkers.

Live Teaching Demo: Russell walks through his actual teaching method, showing how he helps struggling readers improve dramatically in short periods of time.
