This week’s episode is one you’ll feel long after listening. I sat down with Jennifer Halvorsen, founder of Dyslexia Training and Evaluation Center of Waco — and honestly, she was mesmerizing. Her passion for helping kids learn to read is contagious, and through training teachers, she’s impacting classrooms across Texas and beyond.
Jennifer’s a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist and Certified Academic Language Therapist–Qualified Instructor, which means she doesn’t just help students—she equips the people who teach them. The result? Generations of kids who get the support they deserve from teachers who know how to reach them.
We talk about what sparked her mission, the “aha” moments that keep her going, and why investing in literacy training changes everything.
If you care about education, kids, or just love hearing from someone living out their purpose—you’ll love this one.
