What if your child’s ADHD symptoms, restless sleep, or constant stuffy nose aren’t actually what they seem?

In this episode, I’m talking with Karese Laguerre—a certified myofunctional therapist, mom of four, and someone who’s been in the trenches herself. Karese shares how her own kids' struggles with things like bedwetting, sensory challenges, and even an ADHD diagnosis were all tied back to something unexpected: oral dysfunction.

We get into:

• What orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) are—and why they matter

• How mouth breathing, tongue posture, and oral habits impact sleep, focus, and digestion

• Why so many kids are misdiagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral issues

• What you can start doing at home to support better function and healing

This is a practical, eye-opening conversation for any parent who's wondering if there's more to the story behind their child’s challenges—and looking for answers that go beyond another label or prescription.

What if the way you perceive the world is one of your greatest untapped strengths?

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, I’m joined by Gary Jordan, PhD, co-creator of Perceptual Style Theory and founder of The Power of Your Perception.

Speaking anxiety isn’t just for public speakers—it shows up in meetings, on camera, at church, and even in conversations where your voice matters most.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Linda Ugelow, speaking empowerment coach and author of Delight in the Limelight. She shares why so many of us feel anxious when it’s time to speak, and how to actually get rid of that fear instead of constantly managing it.

We talk about mindset, impostor syndrome, preparation, and practical ways to finally feel comfortable, confident, and calm in your own voice—because if God gave you a message, He’ll equip you to share it.

Overwhelmed, stressed, emotionally snappy, and maybe ready to run away from your life? You’re not broken—you’re likely nutrient deficient.

We talk about:

• The real reason moms feel overwhelmed (and it’s not your lack of faith or grit)

• Amino acids that can restore peace, patience, and focus

• Relationship struggles and practical emotional resets
