in this episode of the village sessions, we dive into a conversation that challenges the mainstream narrative around childhood (and adult) airway symptoms. michale, kori, & molly explore the deeper layers behind airway health—why snoring, open-mouth breathing, & low tongue posture are signals, not root causes. we discuss the spaces in between—the moments outside of “doing all the things” that either reinforce or undermine real change. so often, a lack of resourcing & a self-inhibiting mindset prevent both mothers & practitioners from creating sustainable shifts. we explore the critical difference between doing to vs. doing with & the shared responsibility of practitioners & mothers to hold a frame that leads to lasting transformation. the key is awareness—of both the organism & its environment. this is an ecological picture, not simply a mechanical one. we question the mainstream approach of altering the “human meat suit” with interventions that only reinforce what is already inevitably collapsing (ie devices, appliances). instead, we explore the energy systems that build the airway, looking at how to support those first before relying on external “fixes.” we challenge whether the real issue isn’t your kid’s airway—but potentially the ways mothers find themselves under-resourcing & over-outsourcing. these "leaks" show up in how mothers are crowd-sourcing their decisions & actions to practitioners or facebook polls instead of standing in their own knowing. take a seat with us for this conversation on the airway, responsibility, & reclaiming the power to choose ecological sustainability for you & your family. identify the pattern of where you have been taking action from what you "don't want" & start taking precise action for what you do want.
