In today's episode, we're sharing a story that's a little different from our usual conversations — but one we feel was meant to be told. When Stetson was just 14 years old, Margaret's motherly intuition told her something wasn't right, even when answers weren't easy to find. After a lot of searching and persistence, they finally discovered the missing piece: Irlen Syndrome.We talk through the journey with lightness, honesty, and hope, in case our experience helps someone out there who might be walking a similar path. As always, we believe things happen for a reason — and maybe this story will find the person who needs it most.Everything Envy Links:Amazon Store: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/podcast_storefront_EEInstagram: https://urlgeni.us/instagram/podcast_IG_EETikTok: https://urlgeni.us/tiktok/podcast_tiktok_EEPinterest: https://urlgeni.us/pinterest/podcast_pinterest_Facebook Group: https://urlgeni.us/facebook/podcast_FBdealsgroup_EESign up for our newsletter: https://urlgeni.us/podcast_newsletter_EEOur website: https://urlgeni.us/podcast_website_The TECH tools we use in our podcast recording studio: https://urlgeni.us/amazon/podcast_influencertools_EEClick here to get our vision board template: https://urlgeni.us/podcast_visionboard_EEBelow are affiliate links to some really cool tools that we use in our business.

Growing up with a homeopath mother, Jan was immersed in holistic healing from a young age, though she initially pursued a degree in languages and a career in the computer industry. It wasn't until she found herself naturally advising clients on remedies like Arnica that her passion for homeopathy was reignited. At 28, she returned to university to study homeopathy, eventually building a successful practice. Her personal journey with Irlen Syndrome began when her son struggled with reading and was diagnosed with visual processing issues. Now, with nearly 20 years of experience in homeopathy, Jan helps children and adults overcome challenges like Irlen Syndrome and continues to inspire others with her deep commitment to holistic well-being.

This week on The Red Light Report we are going to gain a novel perspective on light and learn just how much it can affect our perceptual processing. Known by many names, including Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, and scotopic sensitivity, the symptoms that can be helped with color are wide-ranging and appear in many different populations, including those with migraines, brain injury, concussion, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Interestingly and luckily, this debilitating condition can be quickly and effectively reversed by colored overlays and spectral lenses. I was able to sit down with Terry Carlson, a seasoned Irlens diagnostician, to take a deep dive into Irlen Syndrome and how she goes about diagnosing and treating this condition with the science of color! Backed by over 40 years of research, Irlen is the pioneer and global leader in spectral filter color lens technology. This innovative, breakthrough solution has helped millions of adults and children around the world. With hundreds of certified providers in 46 countries around the world, Irlen is the original creator of colored lens treatment for light-based, visual processing difficulties. The Irlen Method has earned millions of fans by providing a long-term, expertly-developed solution for reading problems, headaches, migraines, light sensitivity, ADD and ADHD, autism, and many other light-based difficulties–by directly addressing a core problem: the brain's inability to process visual information and specific wavelengths of light. This is a very interesting conversation and will make you see light through a new lens and, perhaps, the signs and symptoms may be similar to what you are currently experiencing. Be sure to look into Irlen Syndrome via the links below and share this information with any family members/friends that may be dealing with. Take the self test, it's free and may put you on the right path to recovery.

The Personal Brain Trainer Podcast: Embodying Executive Functions
Last week (Episode 17) we talked about visual processing. In this episode, we discuss a number of cognitive areas that work in tandem with visual processing. Additionally, we discuss a variety of resources that can be used to enhance these cognitive skills. Related Areas that Work with Visual Processing 1. Visual Processing Speed: processing visual information at a certain pace or speed. 2. Visual-Motor Integration (fine motor dexterity): translating visual perception into a motor response. The ability to make fine and accurate motor responses such as tying one's shoe or one's handwriting skills. 3. Visual Attention: Maintain focus on visual information. 4. Visual Scanning or Tracking: Tracking is the ability to move one's eyes smoothly across the page and from one line of text to another. a. Problems can arise such as eye fatigue, word omissions, reversals, losing one's place while reading, and most importantly these difficulties can negatively impact reading comprehension. b. Tracking can be improved by strengthening eye muscles as well as getting the eyes and brain to work together. c. There are three eye movements that need to be developed: - Fixations: ability to hold one's eyes steady without moving off a target. - Pursuits: ability to follow a moving target with one's eyes. - Saccades (Sucads - french for jerk): ability to jump to new targets that randomly disappear and reappear in a different location.

In this special edition of The Inner Edge, I interview a remarkable woman who made an incredible discovery over 40 years ago. This discovery has the power to radically improve the lives of about 25% of the population. That means it could be you, or someone close to you. What she discovered is now called Irlen Syndrome. My daughter Jane was diagnosed with Irlen when she was 12 and it has transformed her life in many ways. The purpose of this interview is to help increase the awareness of Irlen Syndrome everywhere because there are children and adults in your life who need to become aware of this. It is the dyslexia of our time, it's real and there is a proven way of helping people. If you have any specific questions for me please email me directly at shane@shanecradock.com Show Notes: Helen Irlen Bio - here Irlen Website here Irlen Screeners and Diagnosticians: As Helen explains in our conversation, there are 2 key steps 1. Getting screened for Irlen and then 2. Getting a definite diagnosis on the colour. In our experience, there are many great people who can help with the screening and you can connect with them through the main Irlen website and if you're Irish through this website, www.irlen.ie Important: Our experience on the Diagnosis has been that the results will vary hugely depending on the equipment the diagnostician uses and the way the tests are done, because this will determine the exact colour of the Irlen spectral tints. The best person we have found for this stage is Alan Penn, who is based in the UK. He showed us the MASSIVE difference in getting the colour 90% right and 100% right for Jane. Alan Penn's website is here.

Do you struggle with reading or math? Do you lose your place easily when working? Is reading sheet music ridiculously hard? Well, it might not be your eyes OR your ADHD, mama. It might be something called Irlen Syndrome. Not only does it tend to go along with ADHD (& autism!), it can lead to misdiagnosis. Irlen Syndrome, also called Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, is a perceptual processing disorder, not a vision problem. For those of us who have it, it can lead to some funky vision impairment and: - Extreme light sensitivity - Wanting/needing to read in dim light - Seeing waves or “rivers” in between the lines of text as we read - Poor depth perception - Bad coordination issues & clumsiness - Low self-esteem or motivation …and more. However, even if you get this diagnosis, there's good news: There are things that can help! Tune in to this week's episode of Motherhood in ADHD to find out more about this condition and learn what you can do to counter these tough symptoms, including what symptoms to look for in children.

Many of our ADHD traits bode well with entrepreneurialism, from our curiosity to our fearlessness. Other aspects of ADHD, however, like perfectionism and something I call “procrastilearning”, combined with outside influences telling us what we “should” be doing, can cause us to get in our own way. Entrepreneur and business coach, Jessi Romero, is here to remind us that ADHD women have all the skills necessary for starting and growing successful businesses, we just need to approach it in a way that works for our brains and aligns with our values, nervous systems, and even our circadian rhythms. In this episode, Jessi gives some of her best tips on structuring your business to fit your needs while avoiding burnout, shares how her approach to teaching sets her apart from other business coaches, and explains why changing your expectations for yourself can make all the difference in your business's longevity. Plus, she has some valuable information about a little-known eye condition called Irlen Syndrome that changed her life and just may change yours too.

“Be careful of the stories that you tell yourself, because unfortunately if you keep telling them you'll forget the fact that it may not be true.” – Matthew Pollard Connect with Matthew Pollard: TikTok Instagram Website LinkedIn Twitter Snapchat YouTube Facebook Pinterest Selected links and people mentioned in this episode: The Introverts Edge and The Introverts Edge to Networking by Matthew Pollard Irlen Syndrome Daniel Goleman Jim Cathcart Small Business Festival ThinkUp App Ryan Deiss Introverts Edge Podcast Jim Carrey commencement address Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Matthew Pollard. [03:22] Matthew and Patrick get things underway as Matthew answers the question: what do you do? He likes to steer clear of commoditizing himself, and instead open to a more fruitful conversation. [05:22] Matthew shares how his original book The Introverts Edge, and now the sequel The Introverts Edge to Networking, came to be. He also touches on why it's important for introverts to understand they hold just as much, if not more, power as their extroverted counterparts. [07:53] With his own struggles growing up as an introvert and diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome, Matthew describes his beginnings as a teenager, then being thrust into the hustle of sales. After getting his first sale on the 93rd try in one day, and then realizing he had to do this all over again for the following days, Matthew decided to learn a system of sales rather than give up. With time, his tenacity paid off in a big way. [13:36] Using examples from his own life, Matthew defines in a simplified way what it is to be introverted and discusses the burdens both introverts and extroverts bear. [18:04] The power of story. Matthew talks about belief systems and how he responds to those who say they can't do something or achieve their dreams because they're introverted. He uses a power of story exercise with his audience and clients to demonstrate both how destructive it can be as it short circuits the logical mind and how powerful it can be to build rapport and create trust. [25:38] Constructing roadblocks and limiting beliefs is common for people before even they get started, and Matthew addresses not only the importance of knowing and expressing one's outcome but also putting in the time, having the patience and committing oneself to learn systems, practice them and act on them. [34:30] Learn to leverage and embrace technology, even automation. Get clear and concise on what you provide and the value of it, so you can articulate it whether you are networking or creating your online presence. You can conserve your energy and attract the sales you need without having to be the loudest presence, rather, the clearest. [43:27] Matthew and Patrick share stories and insights about the impact of personal appearance in relation to each of their experiences with facial scars. Matthew's perspective in general is that every disadvantage gives you a natural advantage. [49:31] Matthew takes us on a journey back to his childhood in Australia and illustrates the environment in which he grew up having growth and abundance mindset parents as an influence. Hearing and experiencing the kinds of conversations they had in support of one another was of great benefit to him. It helped him to understand he had to find the path to his own success. [56:29] Failure. From his viewpoint, Matthew would be shocked to find an overachiever who has not failed more than any underachiever. Work out what went wrong and seek resources to overcome that and move forward. Resilience and a curious mindset will fuel growth. [65:06] Values and passion in the context of business was an evolution for Matthew. Starting with a single focus of making money, he found a more fulfilled experience of doing business once he aligned that with creating valu...

We are NOT talking about another virus you should be concerned about. We talk about Irlen Syndrome (Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome) and some things you might need to know. We discuss how our discovery that 1 of our kids had it has opened us up to all of us getting tested for it. We got our son glasses and he is on pace to advance 2.5 grade levels in reading this year!! No joke. Our glasses have been ordered and we should get them in a couple of weeks. Dyslexia, reading problems, headaches from light, light sensitivity, autism spectrum, ADHD, concussion syndrome, brain trauma => These can all have links into Irlen Syndrome.This is not an eye problem but rather a brain processing issue that an estimated 14% of people have. https://irlen.com/what-is-irlen-syndrome/Email = woodfamily@lsfpodcast.comwww.lsfpodcast.com for our free morning planner for adults and kids.Facebook = Less Stress Family PodcastShawna = Instagram @shawnashereewoodArt Work: ShawnaIntro Voice: Hosanna, Asher, EzraIntro and Outro Music:Acoustic guitar - JustinBass - XavierElectric Guitar - EphraimDjembe drum - PerezShakes and Rattles - Shawna, Hosanna, Ezra

In her answer, she explains why she isn’t interested in retiring: because she can’t think of anything more rewarding than what she’s already doing every day. [50:29] - Helen shares her three top tips for living a stellar life: 1. Understand that your brain is uniquely different from anyone else’s brain. 2. Don’t buy into what other people have said to you about yourself. 3. Give yourself a hug everyday and tell yourself how wonderful you are. Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Practice becoming a better listener. Do your best to set your own issues and thoughts aside to become a blank slate and listen to what the person you’re talking to is actually saying. Think about how you feel after you’ve been focused on reading for a while. If you experience physical symptoms, you may fall on the Irlen Syndrome continuum. Take the “Long Self-Test for Irlen Syndrome.” This test will help you determine whether you’re one of the many people unknowingly suffering from Irlen Syndrome.

Topic - Irlen Syndrome. Does Jack see “rivers” on the paper created by the spaces between the words when he reads? Do the words float off the page? Does he have trouble reading under fluorescent light or get headaches when he reads? Does he read slowly, skip words and lines? Is it hard for him to read for long periods of time? Jack may not need glasses. These and other conditions can be symptoms of Irlen Syndrome. Irlen Syndrome is not a vision problem but is the brain's difficulty with processing visual information. It's relieved by using colored filters or colored lenses to reduce perceptual distortions. Nearly half of people with reading problems, dyslexia and learning disabilities have Irlen Syndrome although they may also have other difficulties. Want to learn more to help Jack. Take a self-test at www.Irlen.com and explore the kinds of visual distortions that Irlen Syndrome causes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message

Irlen Syndrome (also referred to at times as Meares-Irlen Syndrome, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, and Visual Stress) is a problem with the brain's ability to process visual information. This problem tends to run in families and is not currently identified by other standardized educational or medical tests. This largely unknown and undiagnosed disorder affects approximately 15% of the general population, 50% of individuals with reading and learning difficulties, 30% of individuals with ADHD and autism, and a significant portion of individuals with brain injury, chronic headaches, and migraines. SIgns of Irlen Syndrome include light sensitivity (bright lights, sunlight, fluorescent lights); headaches or migraines; difficulty or discomfort when reading or doing other visually intensive activities; eye strain; or the print or environment looks different than it should.
