✨ From Mama to Mission: How Motherhood Sparked Dr. Rebecca Troy’s Movement
Dr. Troy is part of '“A New School of Thought” about celebrating the brilliance of dyslexic minds and reimagining how we can support every child’s unique learning journey.
What happens when a mum listens to her gut—and backs it up with science? She changes lives.
Dr. Rebecca Troy had always been passionate about learning. But it wasn’t until she became a mother herself that her work truly came alive.
Growing up in the 1980s, dyslexia ran through her family—but no one had a name for it. It wasn’t discussed. It wasn’t supported. She watched her brother struggle. She saw the signs in her parents too. And later, as a high school teacher, she stood stunned in front of classrooms full of students who couldn’t read—yet her training had never prepared her for that reality.
Then came motherhood.
Knowing dyslexia is highly heritable, Rebecca was prepared. When one of her children showed signs, she had the tools and the knowledge to act early. The transformation was so powerful, she knew she couldn’t keep it to herself.
“Other mums need this too,” she realised.
“If you just give mama the tools—she can change everything.”
💥 Mums Are Their Child’s Fiercest Advocate
Through her coaching business, Dr. Troy has now helped over 3,000 families. She equips mothers—most with no background in education or neuroscience—to support their children in overcoming reading challenges.
And it works.
Children are jumping 50 percentile points in reading in just four months.
But the real story isn’t just about literacy—it’s about belief.
“Our children are capable of excellence,” says Dr. Troy.
“We might need to take a different path. But we do not need to lower the bar.”
She teaches mums to trust their instincts. To stop waiting for schools to fix the problem. And to visualise their child’s success—then walk toward it, one empowered step at a time.
💬 “I Missed the Lollipop Parade—and It Changed Everything.”
Dr. Troy's decision to start her business wasn’t just professional. It was personal.
There was the moment she missed her daughter’s Halloween parade because of an inflexible work meeting. A tutu. A lollipop costume. A 5-minute event. Gone.
“I’ll never do that again,” she vowed.
“I will build a life that lets me choose what matters.”
That was her turning point. And the beginning of a business that’s helped thousands.
Today, she works during school hours, is fully present in the afternoons, and yes—logs back on after bedtime when needed. It’s not always pretty, but it’s purposeful.
🔁 When One Mum Shifts, Everything Shifts
Rebecca shares the story of Janet—a mum who nearly gave up after her son, Caleb, was placed in a class that wasn’t helping. After joining Dr. Troy’s coaching, Caleb moved from the 7th to the 79th percentile in just 4.5 months. His words?
“Mama, I’m not stupid. I really am smart.”
That’s the power of what’s possible. And that’s what drives Rebecca every day.
🧠 The Science Behind It All
The results aren’t magic—they’re neuroscience. Dr. Troy’s work uses the brain’s natural ability to rewire through consistent, targeted interventions.
10–15 minutes a day.
No apps. No screens.
Just daily action—and lasting change.
“It’s like walking the same path through long grass,” she explains.
“Eventually, you create a clear route. That’s how the brain learns.”
💡 For the Mama Who Feels Like Giving Up
If you’re reading this as a mother trying to hold it all together—Dr. Troy sees you.
“You might be tired. You might feel behind. But you’re not broken.
You’re a mother. And that’s your superpower.”
Her number one tip? Visualise the future.
Picture your child thriving—confident, happy, living a life they love.
Then walk them there, one determined step at a time.
