  • ADHD Isn’t a Disorder — It’s a Different Brain

    In this special episode of Take Back My Brain, I’m sharing this from my recent talk at the ADHD Festival — and this one’s personal.


    If you’ve ever felt broken, lazy, or ashamed because of your ADHD, I want you to hear this: Your brain isn’t disordered. It’s just different. And that difference? It’s powerful when you understand it.


    In this episode, I talk about:

    • Why ADHD isn’t about a lack of attention — it’s about regulating it

    • How shame and trauma get tangled up in our ADHD experience

    • What the neuroscience actually says about ADHD (hint: you're not defective!)

    • How to stop trying to "fix" yourself and start working with your brain

    • Real stories from clients and students who are finally thriving

    This talk is about taking back your power, your focus, your voice — and yes, your brain.


    🎧 Listen now. Your brain will thank you.

  • Is It Really ADHD… or Something Else? A Conversation About Oral Dysfunction with Karese Laguerre

    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.
