Summary
Growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia, Dr. Christy Bock spent years believing she was broken. Publicly shamed in school and constantly struggling to keep up, she carried those experiences into adulthood and transformed them into a mission that now impacts thousands of students and families. In this episode of Living Your Legacy, the founder of Cornerstone Educational Solutions shares how her personal challenges shaped a career as an educational psychologist, advocate, and entrepreneur. She discusses learning disabilities, educational evaluations, student anxiety, autism, ADHD, and the urgent need for innovation in education. Through powerful stories, practical insights, and hard-earned lessons, Dr. Bock reveals how resilience, advocacy, and compassion can help families navigate challenges while creating a lasting legacy of impact.
