Shellyville: Recent Episodes

The Rutkowski Podcast Network

Shellyville was created out of the wisdom and the crazy that is my life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. In the last 11 years I have considered myself an expert, but it is not just my education that makes me an expert, it is growing up in my big Italian family. I am the 9th child out of 10.

This is my story, my journey and how I learned to find the fun in my family's dysfunction. I have always said I make crazy look good, now I hope my podcast can make it sound good too.

Welcome to Shellyville!

People with dyslexia may say a wrong word that sounds similar to the right one (like extinct instead of distinct). Or they may talk around it using vague words like thing or stuff. This kind of mental hiccup can happen when they're writing too. Trouble finding the right word is one of the most common signs of dyslexia.
