    10. Beyond breathing & speech, the impact of your mouth and airway on total health
    2026/04/13

    Myofunctional Therapy, Airway Health, and Self-Advocacy with Kaitlyn ShrumHolly Joy McCabe interviews Kaitlyn Shrum, a speech-language pathologist and myofunctional therapist specializing in airway health, to explain myofunctional therapy as “physical therapy” for the tongue, lips, face, and neck to build correct resting posture (tongue suctioned to the palate, lips closed, teeth gently apart, nasal breathing) and improve swallowing, speech sounds, TMJ issues, nervous system regulation, and sleep-disordered breathing.

    They discuss how dysfunctional breathing and poor tongue posture can contribute to fight-or-flight patterns, and how therapy can support sleep by strengthening oral and pharyngeal structures. Kaitlyn shares her own upper airway resistance syndrome experience and the role of dentistry and orthodontic history, while both discuss women being dismissed in healthcare and the need to advocate, seek open-minded practitioners, and take a multidimensional, connected approach to health.

    7. This Wasn’t the Plan… But It Was the Path. The Game Beyond the Field: Mark O’Brien’s Journey Through Loss, Healing, and Hope
    2025/06/03

    What if the thing that breaks your heart… is what saves your life?


    In this raw and soul-stirring episode, Holly Joy McCabe welcomes former professional footballer Mark O’Brien for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever aired on Brain Body Speak.


    At 16, Mark was told he needed open-heart surgery or he would die. He came back against all odds — only to face the same surgery again 11 years later. But what followed wasn’t just physical recovery. It was identity collapse, debilitating panic, and a deep reckoning with purpose, presence, and who we become when everything we’ve built falls away.


    • What it means to lose your identity and start again
    • How trauma and medical challenges live in the nervous system
    • Panic attacks, PTSD, and high-functioning suppression
    • The invisible grief of chronic illness
    • Why community is often the missing piece in healing
    • How to rewire your mindset when your life no longer makes sense


    Mark’s story is more than resilience. It’s a reminder that you’re not broken — you’re just dysregulated.


    If you’ve ever felt lost, exhausted, or like you’re being asked to become someone new... this one’s for you.

    4. The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think
    2025/03/19

    The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think

    🎙 Episode Title: The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think

    🧠 What if everything you thought you knew about emotional eating was wrong?

    If you’ve ever felt out of control with food, struggled with cravings, or found yourself stress-eating despite knowing better… this episode is for you.

    The truth is, emotional eating isn’t just about emotions. It’s not about willpower, self-control, or needing more discipline. It’s about your nervous system, your survival instincts, and how your body responds to stress and restriction.

    In this deep dive, I break down:✔️ Why your body treats dieting like a famine (and how it forces you to binge)✔️ The nervous system’s role in emotional eating—it’s not just about stress!✔️ Why extreme dieting backfires and makes cravings worse✔️ How the fitness & diet industry set you up to fail (and what to do instead)✔️ The REAL reason you can’t “just stop” emotional eating—hint: it’s biological✔️ How to regulate your nervous system so food stops feeling like a battle

    🚨 This isn’t another “just eat intuitively” talk. This is the science behind why your body fights you—and how to work with it to create sustainable, long-term healing.

    🔊 Listen now and learn how to stop the cycle of stress, restriction, and bingeing—for good.
