Bypassing the Schools: Why the Best Dyslexia Help May Come From You, Not the Classroom

Russell Van Brocklen has dyslexia and he turned the frustration of a system that failed him into one of the most effective and affordable dyslexia remediation methods in the country. His approach: don't teach reading, teach writing. Build it around the child's passions. Work in 10–15 minute sessions. One family's son went from the 11th percentile in reading to the 64th in five and a half months. He joins Jocelyn Moore to break down the neuroscience, the method, the myths, and why he's done waiting on school bureaucracy and going straight to parents instead. Russell shares: ✅ Russell's own dyslexia journey: 15 credits of A-minus, then 15 credits of F same work ✅ Why boys act out and girls go quiet: the neuroscience of the dyslexic brain ✅ Why Russell stopped fighting school bureaucracy and went directly to parents and tutors Chapters/Timestamps 00:00 The Journey Begins: Understanding Dyslexia 03:05 Identifying Dyslexia: Signs and Early Intervention 05:56 Effective Strategies for Dyslexia Remediation 08:49 The Role of Parents in Supporting Dyslexic Children 12:11 Myths and Misconceptions About Dyslexia 14:54 Navigating the Education System: Challenges and Solutions 17:46 The Importance of Writing in Learning 21:12 The Bureaucratic Barriers in Education 24:07 Future Directions: Books and Resources for Parents Connect with Jocelyn Moore and support the show below: 🌐 https://www.jmentertainment.info [https://www.jmentertainment.info] 📱 https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow [https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow] Want to be a guest?

When You Stop Fighting: What It Takes to Build the Life You Want After Addiction

Daryl Dittmer has been sober for 40 years since 18 days after his 19th birthday. He grew up on a farm, became a liar and a thief chasing addiction, entered recovery before he could legally drink, put himself through college as a first-generation student, built a business, retired at 48, and wrote two books in six months. His memoir When I Stopped Fighting and follow-up When You Stop Fighting cover the life and the lessons. He joins Jocelyn Moore to break it all down including the one sentence his sponsor Bud told him that changed the trajectory of everything. Daryl shares: ✅ Growing up on the farm: dawn to dusk, $1.25 an hour, and a work ethic built to last ✅ "First things first, and the rest will be added on" — the lesson from Bud ✅ You can only want change for someone as much as they want it for themselves Chapters/Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Change and Growth 03:12 The Journey of Hard Work and Ethics 05:55 Memoirs and Life Lessons 08:48 The Importance of Recovery and Change 11:57 The Power of Mentorship and Support 14:46 Writing as a Therapeutic Process 18:13 Sustaining Sobriety and Life Lessons 20:53 The First Steps to Change 23:59 The Possibility of Change at Any Age 26:48 Showing Up and Doing the Work 30:10 Daily Habits for Growth 33:05 Retirement and New Beginnings 35:57 Future Projects and Closing Thoughts Connect with Daryl Dittmer: 🌐 Website: daryldittmer.com [https://daryldittmer.com] Connect with Jocelyn Moore and support the show below: 🌐 https://www.jmentertainment.info [https://www.jmentertainment.info] 📱 https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow [https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow] Want to be a guest?

From Crown to CEO: Memoir, Motherhood & a Million-Dollar Business

Jessica Danel built a million-dollar childcare business in 2008, survived one of the first school shootings in American history in 1992, raised a daughter with open-heart needs, cerebral palsy, and autism, and walked away from it all to be present. Her memoir Bucket List from a Redneck Girl captures it exactly the way she talks raw, funny, and honest in a way most people don't dare to be in print. She joins Jocelyn Moore for a conversation that swings from laugh-out-loud to deeply moving and back again.

"I'm Too Busy to Think About Getting Old" | Why Dolly Parton at 80 Gets It Right

Dr. Corinne Auman expected to help 40-year-olds care for 70-year-old parents. Instead, she works with 70-year-olds caring for 90-somethings — proving our aging assumptions are decades behind reality. Her book Kienagers reframes older adulthood as a time of continued growth, not decline. From Medicare myths (it doesn't pay for long-term care) to ageism's cognitive dissonance (we separate "old people" from ourselves as if aging doesn't apply to us), this conversation exposes why society's retirement narrative is crushing people who still feel like they're in their prime. Dr. Auman Shares: ✅ Why 70-year-olds are caring for 90-year-old parents — not 40s caring for 70s ✅ Ageism starts with your own thoughts — fight it from the inside ✅ Medicare doesn't pay for long-term care — 7 in 10 people will need it Connect with Dr. Corinne Auman: 🌐 Website: CorinneAuman.com [http://CorinneAuman.com] (book, social media links, resources 📚 Book: Kienagers: Telling a New Story About Aging 🏥 Company: Choice Care Navigators (geriatric care management agency) Connect with Jocelyn Moore and support the show below: 🌐 https://www.jmentertainment.info [https://www.jmentertainment.info] 📱 https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow [https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow] Want to be a guest?

Find Your True Voice: Why We Pretend to Be Someone We're Not

Dr. Fred Moss dropped out of college twice before working at a state mental health facility planning to stay three weeks for paychecks. Forty years later, he's a psychiatrist exposing the system's truth: medications don't heal, they perpetuate symptoms and create lifetime customers. His books Find Your True Voice and Creative Eight reveal how music, art, cooking, and authentic connection communicate what words can't. From cold showers to financial literacy, this conversation dismantles psychiatry's broken model and offers real healing. Dr. Fred Shares: ✅ Why medications perpetuate symptoms instead of healing ✅ "How people think of me is none of my business" ✅ Why there may be nothing wrong with you Chapters: 00:00 The Power of True Communication 02:57 Finding Your True Voice 06:02 Creative Expression as Healing 08:56 Daily Practices for Authenticity 12:11 Overcoming Fear of Judgment 15:02 Lessons from Mental Health Experience 20:51 The Importance of Truth in Healing 23:49 Medication vs. True Healing 25:57 Understanding Children's Communication 26:51 Key Messages from a Lifelong Journey 27:59 Podcasting and Sharing Knowledge Connect with Dr. Fred Moss: 🌐 Website: https://drfred360.com [https://drfred360.com/] 📚 Books: * Find Your True Voice: FindYourTrueVoiceBook.com [http://FindYourTrueVoiceBook.com] (methodology for removing barriers to authentic self) * Creative Eight: Available on Amazon (eight creative acts for expressing true voice) 🎙️ Podcasts Hosted: * Welcome to Humanity * Insanity (two-word title) * The Healthy Healer * 300+ episodes dropped across all shows Connect with Jocelyn Moore and support the show below: 🌐 https://www.jmentertainment.info [https://www.jmentertainment.info] 📱 https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow [https://linktr.ee/thejocelynmooreshow] Want to be a guest?
