Brains don’t misbehave—they communicate. We explore five simple brain patterns that reframe “acting out,” perfectionism, slow pace, letter-flips, and worry into clear strengths with practical supports. From busy-with-information to the deeply sensitive what-if brain, we translate complex neuroscience into everyday tools families and educators can use before breakfast: one-step instructions, predictable routines, visual schedules, movement breaks, and language that replaces shame with skill.

Along the way, I share a vulnerable story about helping my third-grader through anxiety spirals triggered by uncertainty—how previewing, gentle Q&A, and turning “what if” into “even if” shifted mornings from meltdowns to manageable. We also talk about honoring stimming for regulation, using assistive tech for switch-it-around readers, and tailoring goals for at-my-own-pace learners so progress feels safe and visible. Each brain type becomes less of a label and more of a map for design: lower inputs for the busy brain, clear transitions for the pattern-focused brain, accommodations that unlock creativity for the flip-it reader, and compassion-first strategies for the planner who worries.

You’ll also hear why I pivoted from chiropractic adjusting to virtual care, then to business coaching, and now to building Unshakable Brain—plus the real-life supports my partner and I chose, including relationship coaching that strengthened our family. If you’ve ever wondered how to make science usable at home and school, consider this your field guide. Press play, subscribe for new episodes, and share this with someone who needs a hopeful reframe.
