| 5/15/26 | ![]() Kamy Moussavi — The Hidden Link Between ADHD, Dopamine, and Food | Kamy Moussavi — The Hidden Link Between ADHD, Dopamine, and FoodIn this fascinating and eye-opening conversation, Michelle sits down with Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, to explore a topic that affects millions of families but is rarely discussed: the powerful connection between ADHD, dopamine, food cravings, and childhood weight gain.Kamy shares his own journey as a child with undiagnosed ADHD and explains why excess weight is often not the real problem—but a symptom of something much deeper.Kamy shares:Why children with ADHD are significantly more likely to struggle with weight.ADHD creates a dopamine deficit, and for many kids, food becomes the easiest and fastest way to fill that gap.Why your child may not actually be hungry.Sometimes the brain is searching for stimulation, comfort, or emotional relief—not nutrition.The surprising truth about “healthy” snacks.Even protein bars, cereals, and natural sweeteners can trigger the same dopamine response that drives overeating.What happens when kids use food as emotional regulation.Food can become a coping mechanism for boredom, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, and stress.Why changing the child alone rarely works.The most lasting transformation happens when the entire family environment shifts.How parents unintentionally model addictive behaviors.Whether it is food, screens, shopping, work, or alcohol, children learn how to cope by watching us.The connection between food addiction and screen addiction.Both activate the brain’s reward system, and both can mask deeper emotional needs.Why removing everything too quickly can backfire.Sudden changes can trigger intense withdrawal behaviors, making gradual and supported transitions essential.How Step Together works.Rather than focusing primarily on the child, Kamy and his team coach parents over four months to transform nutrition, sleep, technology use, movement, and emotional regulation.The most important question to ask.Instead of asking, “How do I get my child to lose weight?” ask, “What deeper need is this behavior trying to meet?”“Excess weight is often the symptom. The real work is understanding what’s underneath.”If your child struggles with ADHD, intense food cravings, emotional eating, or weight challenges, this episode offers a compassionate and practical new way to understand what may really be going on.👤 About Kamy MoussaviKamy Moussavi is the founder of Step Together, a family-centered program that helps children overcome weight challenges by addressing root causes such as ADHD, emotional regulation, sleep, technology use, and family dynamics.🔗 Connect with KamyWebsite: Step TogetherLinkedIn: Kamy Moussavi | — | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | ![]() Tiara Brumberg — Why “Clean Your Room” Doesn’t Work (And What Executive Functioning Really Means) | In this honest, practical, and deeply relatable conversation, Michelle sits down with occupational therapy assistant and ADHD coach Tiara Brumberg to unpack what’s really going on behind behaviors parents see every day… and why so many of our kids aren’t actually being difficult—they’re overwhelmed.This episode hits home in a real way—because it’s not theory. It’s the daily reality of parenting complex, neurodivergent, and special needs kids.Tiara shares:Why “simple” instructions aren’t actually simple.“Clean your room” isn’t one task—it’s 20. And for kids with executive functioning challenges, not knowing where to start can lead to shutting down completely.What executive functioning really means (in real life).From time blindness to task initiation, organization, and emotional regulation—these are the invisible skills our kids are struggling with every single day.The connection between ADHD, learning challenges, and behavior.That overlap between dyslexia, attention, and processing? It’s real—and often misunderstood in both homes and schools.Why your child can focus on video games—but not homework.It’s not defiance. It’s how their brain processes interest, time, and effort.The power of breaking things down step-by-step.“Pick up your shoes” works. “Clean your room” doesn’t. Specificity changes everything.Motivation matters more than we think.If there’s no meaningful reason to do the hard thing, kids will avoid it. And honestly? That makes sense.Why vague IEP goals fail our kids.If a goal isn’t measurable, specific, and clearly defined—it’s not helping your child. It’s just checking a box.How kids ‘work the system’ (and why it’s actually a strength).These kids aren’t being manipulative—they’re smart. And with the right guidance, that skill becomes a lifelong advantage.The parenting shift that changes everything: curiosity over control.Instead of asking “Why won’t they just do it?” start asking “What’s getting in the way?”Regulation starts with us.Your child will match your energy. Calm creates calm. Escalation creates… more escalation.Quote to sit with:“They wake up every day wanting to be your favorite. When they can’t meet expectations, something is getting in the way—not a lack of effort.”Whether you’re navigating ADHD, executive functioning struggles, or just feeling stuck in the daily battles—this episode will help you see your child differently… and respond differently.👤 About Tiara BrumbergTiara is an occupational therapy assistant turned ADHD coach who specializes in helping families understand and navigate executive functioning challenges. With a background in working with children with dyslexia, ADHD, and learning differences, she now supports parents directly through coaching—bridging the gap between therapy and real-life parenting.🔗 Connect with TiaraWebsite: https://www.themiddlecoaching.net/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573709050059 | — | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | ![]() Edwin Egelsee — What Schools Don’t Tell You About Your Child’s Legal Rights | In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Michelle sits down with special education attorney Edwin Egelsee—the very person who represented her son during due process—to break down what actually happens when advocacy turns legal… and what parents need to know before they ever get there.Edwin shares:Why IEP meetings feel intimidating—and how to take your power back.That room full of professionals? It doesn’t change the law. You are meant to be an active participant, not just someone signing paperwork.The rights parents overlook (and schools won’t explain).Those documents they hand you at the beginning of every IEP? Most parents never read them—and that’s exactly why they matter.Red flags that something is off.When your child is “a delight to have in class”… but not progressing? When everything becomes “functional”? These are the moments to pause and dig deeper.The truth about progress—and why data matters more than words.“Making progress” means nothing without proof. Ask how they measured it. Ask for the data. Always.IEPs not being followed? Here’s what to actually do.From requesting meetings to Prior Written Notice (PWN) and compliance complaints, Edwin breaks down your real options step-by-step.IEEs (Independent Evaluations)—when and how to push back.If the school’s evaluation misses something, you have the right to challenge it—but it has to be done strategically.Due process… what it really looks like.Not the TV version. The real process, the emotional toll, and why it’s something to prepare for—but not rush into.What attorneys actually do for families.It’s not just legal strategy. It’s guidance, clarity, and helping parents make decisions that truly serve their child.The most important shift for parents: be proactive, not reactive.Keep records. Document everything. Know your child’s baseline. Don’t wait until things fall apart.Quote to sit with:“You’re not just there to agree. You’re there to participate. This is your child’s future.”Whether you’re just starting your IEP journey or already feeling like something isn’t right, this episode gives you the clarity, language, and confidence to advocate differently.👤 About Edwin EgelseeA seasoned special education attorney with OC Kids Law, Edwin has dedicated his career to helping families navigate the legal side of special education. He works closely with parents to ensure children receive the support, services, and education they are legally entitled to.🔗 Connect with EdwinWebsite: https://www.ockidslaw.com/attorney/edwin-egelsee/ | — | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | ![]() Cyndi Abundabar Ting — When Emotional Disability Is the Missing Piece | In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Cyndi Abundabar Ting—special education teacher, longtime instructional aide, and special needs mom—to unpack one of the most misunderstood eligibility categories in special education: ED, or Emotional Disability.Cyndi shares:Why ED is often misunderstood. Many parents hear “emotional disability” and immediately think of extreme psychiatric diagnoses, but ED can also describe students whose daily emotional dysregulation, trauma responses, anxiety, or behavioral outbursts are significantly affecting their ability to access school.What the signs can look like in real life. Frequent verbal or physical outbursts, shutting down, leaving class, refusing work, social overwhelm, unsafe reactions, or being unable to regulate in a classroom setting can all be clues that something deeper is going on.Why schools don’t jump to this eligibility overnight. ED is not a label teams hand out casually. It requires observation, documentation, assessment, staff collaboration, parent input, and careful consideration of whether the child’s needs are being met in the current setting.What placement can actually look like. From general education with supports, to pull-outs, to SDC classrooms, to highly supported therapeutic environments, Cyndi explains how placement depends on the individual child—and why the goal is always the least restrictive environment that still works.The importance of thinking outside the box. For some complex kids, the usual eligibility boxes do not fully fit. Cyndi emphasizes the need for teams to stay open-minded, look holistically at the child, and consider what will actually help them succeed academically, emotionally, and socially.Quote to tape on the fridge:“You are enough. You are doing the best you can with the resources you have.”Whether your child is struggling with behaviors, emotional regulation, trauma, or an eligibility that just doesn’t seem to fit, Cyndi’s message is clear: you are not alone, and sometimes the right support starts with asking different questions.👤 About Cyndi Abundabar TingCyndi Abundabar Ting brings over 20 years of experience in special education as both an instructional aide and teacher. She has worked in emotionally focused programs, non-public school settings, and with students across a wide range of needs. She is also a parent of a child with special needs, which gives her both professional and personal insight into the IEP journey.🔗 Connect with CyndiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurodiversenanay/#ComplexKidsSimpleSolutions #SpecialEducation #EmotionalDisability #IEPHelp #ParentAdvocacy #ComplexKids #NeurodiverseKids #SpecialNeedsParenting #MichelleChoairy #CyndiAbundabarTing | — | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | ![]() Pennie Wilson — Finding Calm in the Messy Middle of Parenting | In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Pennie Wilson, mental fitness coach and founder of Kokoro Creators, to unpack one of the hardest truths parents of complex kids face: sometimes the chaos doesn’t go away—but we can learn how to find calm inside it.Pennie shares:From survival mode to mental fitness. After 17 years in a controlling marriage, Pennie found herself completely disconnected from her own sense of power. Her journey through healing, meditation, and personal growth eventually led her to create a framework that helps parents reclaim control of their thoughts and emotional responses.Why calm parents create calmer kids. When parents operate from anxiety, overwhelm, and constant urgency, kids absorb that energy. But when a parent slows down and becomes grounded—even for a few minutes—it changes the emotional climate of the entire home.The storm and the sun mindset. Pennie teaches parents to notice where their attention lives: the storm (everything going wrong) or the sun (the direction they want their life to move). Shifting attention—even slightly—changes the way the brain processes stress.The 4R framework for resetting your mind.Recognize what feels heavy.Remove the belief that’s keeping you stuck.Replace it with a new perspective.Reimagine the outcome you want to create.The ripple effect of self-awareness. Instead of trying to fix kids or control every behavior, Pennie focuses on helping parents strengthen their own emotional awareness first—because that inner change naturally influences the whole family.Quote to tape on the fridge:“When the world feels like a hurricane, your breath can become the calm in the center.”Whether you're juggling therapies, school meetings, meltdowns, or the never-ending mental load of parenting a complex kid, Pennie’s message is simple: when you learn to regulate your own mind, you give your child a calmer place to land.👤 About Pennie WilsonPennie Wilson is a mental fitness coach and the founder of Kokoro Creators, a program designed to help parents reconnect with their purpose, regulate their emotions, and build resilience through meditation, mindset tools, and community support.🔗 Connect with Pennie Wilson & Kokoro CreatorsWebsite: https://kokorocreators.com/#ComplexKidsSimpleSolutions #MentalFitness #ParentingComplexKids #MomCalm #EmotionalRegulation #KokoroCreators #ParentSelfCare | — | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | ![]() Dara Wax — Reimagining Teen Vitamins as Tools for Mental Wellness | In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Dara Wax, founder of SAM+LEO, to unpack the missing market no one was really talking about: clean, teen-friendly supplements that support energy, sleep, stress, immunity, and eye health, without the junk, the shame, or the “what’s wrong with me?” messaging.Dara shares:A global-health career that turned into a kitchen-table mission. After years working in vaccine advocacy and global health—including at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—Dara stepped back from international travel as her own sons’ needs became more complex, and started building the product she wished existed for her own family.Why “supporting” beats “fixing.” As a mom of two teen boys navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and learning challenges, Dara realized the language matters. Kids do not need to feel broken—they need tools, support, and reminders that they are already amazing.The missing shelf between kids’ gummies and adult supplements. Dara saw that tweens and teens were either ignored altogether or pushed toward energy drinks, adult products, and unhealthy coping tools. SAM+LEO was created to fill that gap with clean gummies teens will actually take.A smarter swap for the real-world stuff teens reach for. Energy gummies instead of energy drinks. Relax support instead of turning toward vaping or other risky coping habits. Eye-health gummies for the screen-heavy generation. Sleep, immunity, and stress support that meets kids where they already are.From zero stores to Whole Foods. In a huge leap, SAM+LEO went from no retail presence to launching in 50 Whole Foods stores, after Dara was selected as one of only 10 brands out of 1,600 applicants in the store’s accelerator program.Quote to tape on the fridge:“We’re not fixing our kids—we’re supporting them.”Whether your child is anxious, exhausted, screen-tired, gluten-sensitive, overbooked, or just trying to survive adolescence, Dara’s message is simple: small, thoughtful supports can make a big difference—and our kids deserve tools that honor who they are.👤 About Dara WaxDara Wax is a seasoned global health strategist and the founder of SAM+LEO, a clean gummy vitamin brand designed to support teen mental wellness and everyday health. A mom of two teen boys with their own mental health and learning needs, Dara combines personal experience with public-health expertise to help families find practical, supportive tools for real life.🔗 Connect with Dara & SAM+LEOLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darawax/Instagram: @shopsamandleo | — | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | ![]() Dr. Theresa Lyons — Turning Autism Science into a Clear Roadmap for Progress | In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Dr. Theresa Lyons—international autism educator, Ivy League scientist, and autism parent—to make autism research finally feel usable in real life. Through her platform Navigating AWEtism, Dr. Lyons breaks down overwhelming science into clear, actionable steps that help parents move from confusion to confidence.Dr. Lyons shares:Why parents feel stuck (and it’s not your fault).

With her Yale-trained lens, Dr. Lyons teaches parents how to translate research into practical choices—what matters, what doesn’t, and what to try next.A roadmap, not random advice.

Dr. Lyons has worked with parents in 21+ countries, showing that clarity and consistent strategy can change outcomes—regardless of where you live.Clarity + confidence = momentum.

It’s your job to teach the way they learn.”👤 About Melissa SchulzMelissa Schulz is a parenting coach, board-certified behavior analyst, and counselor who supports families raising complex kids.

| 11/24/25 | ![]() Dr. Jack Hinman — The Anxious Generation: Guiding Young Adults Toward Independence and Resilience | Send us a textIn this conversation, Michelle sits down with Dr. Jack Hinman, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Engage Young Adult Transitions, to unpack why so many 18- to 30-year-olds are stuck between adolescence and adulthood—and how parents can help their “kids” move forward with confidence, connection, and purpose.Dr. Hinman shares:The crisis of connection. Today’s young adults are more connected than ever online—but lonelier and more anxious than any generation before. Dr. Hinman calls this the Crisis of Connection and explains how real, face-to-face relationships are the key to healing.The anxious generation explained. Born after 1995? Your brain literally developed differently. Between overprotection, constant screens, and “concept creep” around trauma and anxiety, today’s youth are growing up in a world that equates discomfort with danger—stunting resilience and identity formation.Overprotected offline, underprotected online. Parents guard their kids from playground scrapes but hand them unfiltered access to social media during puberty—the most vulnerable neurological window for comparison, shame, and emotional reactivity.When therapy meets autonomy. At Engage, young adults (17–25) live in supervised homes that gradually transition to independent apartments. Staff offices are embedded in the same homes, creating mentorship through proximity and connection, not confinement.Why 30-day programs fail. Short-term fixes don’t build independence. Engage focuses on long-term (9–12 month) support combining clinical care, mentoring, neurofeedback, and community integration—because growth takes time.Quote to tape on the fridge: “Anxiety isn’t the enemy—it’s the gym where resilience grows.”Whether you’re parenting a teen or watching your 20-something stall out, Dr. Hinman’s message is simple: Stop rescuing from discomfort. Start teaching that hard things are part of growing strong.👤 About Dr. Jack Hinman, Psy.D. Dr. Hinman is a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Engage Young Adult Transitions in Cedar City, Utah. With over 20 years in mental health, he specializes in helping neurodiverse and anxious young adults overcome depression, avoidance, and executive-functioning challenges to rediscover autonomy, purpose, and self-trust.

| 11/17/25 | ![]() Michael Ringel — Planning for Two Lifetimes: Protect, Grow, and Enjoy (Without Losing Your Benefits) | Send us a textIn this conversation, Michelle sits down with special-needs family wealth strategist Michael Ringel to demystify the money side of raising complex kids—how to get organized fast, protect eligibility for services, and build a plan that cares for your child long after you’re gone.Mike shares:Why families delay (and how to start in 15 minutes). Your financial life isn’t a mess—it’s a junk drawer. Mike’s free “Living Balance Sheet” tool turns scattered accounts into a single snapshot and scorecard so you know what is and what’s possible.Benefits without the gotchas. The big rule of thumb: assets over $2,000 in your child’s name can jeopardize SSI/Medicaid. How third-party Special Needs Trusts preserve benefits, and when an ABLE account (tax-advantaged, spendable for qualified needs) makes sense—plus the key difference on what happens to leftover funds.Funding the future (without wrecking today). Why many families combine term and permanent life insurance to ultimately fund a Special Needs Trust—while using riders and disability coverage to protect income now.Hope for the best, plan for the rest. Build a team—financial pro, special-needs attorney, and benefits optimizer—so you protect today, plan for tomorrow, and avoid painful “do-overs.”Cash-flow judo. Most households leak money in invisible ways. Mike shows how to capture “found dollars” to fund protection and long-term goals without lowering your lifestyle.Quote to tape on the fridge: “Something is worth what it can do for you—not the price you pay.”Whether your child is 3 or 33, Mike’s message lands: get organized, protect eligibility, and set up funding so your child—and your whole family—can live a life without compromise.👤 About Mike Ringel For over 20 years, Mike has helped families with complex-needs children protect, grow, and enjoy their wealth—planning for two lifetimes while preserving access to vital services.

Traditional “make them comply” tactics widen the gap; centering the child’s needs helps the message land.The CLEAR method (her 5-step roadmap). Connection → Limits → Empowerment → Accountability → Recovery—so consequences teach with dignity, not shame.Behavior = a nervous system message. Nonverbals shout louder than words; listen, mirror, validate before you problem-solve.Grief and the pivot. When diagnoses or differences rewrite your plan, community shortens the lonely middle.Connection is the superpower. Online cohorts that become real-life support—through IEP seasons, moves, meltdowns, and milestones.Quote to tape on the fridge: “You’re enough.

From therapy schedules to meltdowns to IEP battles, the emotional weight doesn’t just stay with the child—it ripples through the relationship. And sometimes, that weight becomes too much.🎯 The three co-parenting models—and how to know which one is right for your family. Whether it’s collaborative co-parenting, parallel parenting, or nesting (where the kids stay and you rotate out), Dr. Karalynn explains how to choose based on your child’s emotional, medical, and behavioral needs.🧠 What kids actually hear during a divorce. You might think they’re in the other room. They’re not. You might think they don’t notice the tension. They do. Dr. Karalynn explains how to repair after an argument and how to reassure your child in language they’ll understand.📦 Why some moms stay longer—and why that’s okay. Whether it’s for insurance, routine, or to delay transition until a child is more independent, staying doesn’t mean failing. It means adapting. But she also explains how to move forward when you’re the only adult doing the work.🛑 The trap of overcompensation. Guilt is a natural part of parenting through divorce—but loosening all the rules won’t make the pain go away. Dr. Karalynn gives practical scripts to stay grounded while still nurturing your child’s needs.Quote to tape on the fridge: “You may not control your co-parent—but you do control how you show up for your child. That relationship is the anchor they’ll carry through every transition.”Whether you’re already divorced, just thinking about it, or doing everything in your power to hold the house together—this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered.👤 About Dr. Karalynn Royster Dr. Karalynn Royster is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-parenting strategist who helps families navigate separation, divorce, and complex childhood needs with emotional maturity and evidence-based parenting.

| 8/19/25 | ![]() Ryann Watkin — Rediscovering Your Feminine Energy While Raising Complex Kids | Send us a textIn this conversation, Michelle sits down with speaker, podcaster, and creator of the Raising Wild Hearts podcast, Ryann Watkin, to unpack the tug-of-war between strength and softness that every mom of complex kids knows too well. Together, they explore how to step out of “CEO of the household” mode and reconnect with the feminine energy that fuels joy, love, and true presence at home.Ryann shares:When strength becomes survival. From high-achieving career woman to maxed-out mom, Ryann opens up about hitting burnout when her “go, go, go” energy clashed with motherhood’s demands.The moment she hit rock bottom. How the split between masculine drive and feminine nurture left her depleted—and what it took to begin her healing journey.Embodiment in real life. Why asking yourself “Can I feel my legs?” was the first surprising step to grounding, slowing down, and reconnecting with her body.Turning off ‘boss mode.’ Practical shifts—like saying “What do you think, love? I trust you”—that invite your partner to step up and give you space to soften.The control/safety loop. Why moms of complex kids grip so tightly to schedules and responsibilities, and how learning to release just two “rocks from the backpack” can transform family balance.Happiness isn’t “when.” Ryann’s wisdom for every overwhelmed mom: stop waiting for someday. Joy is possible here, even in the mess and the therapy appointments.Quote to tape on the fridge: “Happier moms raise happier kids. Don’t wait for things to ease up—be here now, be happy now.”Whether you’re juggling IEP meetings, medical appointments, or just trying to make dinner without barking orders, Ryann’s message is clear: reclaiming your feminine energy isn’t about weakness—it’s about resilience, presence, and love.👤 About Ryann Watkin Ryann Watkin is a creative professional speaker and podcaster devoted to creating a better world for future generations.

| 7/21/25 | ![]() Rebecca McAllister — Turning Playtime into Phonics Power | Send us a textIn this conversation, Michelle sits down with Active Reader co-founder and former classroom teacher Rebecca McAllister to unpack why so many complex kids (and even their teachers!) still struggle with reading—and how a multi-sensory, five-minute-a-day routine can rewrite that story long before first grade.Rebecca shares:From “good student” to secret struggler. Undiagnosed dyslexia left Rebecca memorizing textbooks and dodging eye-contact with contracts—until Orton-Gillingham training finally “turned the world to color” at age 36.Why most classrooms miss the mark. Whole-word cueing relies on memorization; structured literacy rewires the brain by fusing sight, sound, touch, and movement.The active-learning blueprint. How her flash-card “equations” (C—cat—/k/) + tracing + play turn toddlers’ Hot Wheels laps into letter-sound mastery.Red-flag behaviors to spot early. Avoidance, echo-answers, symbol confusion—signs your pre-K child might be heading for the same hurdles.A 30-week plug-and-play curriculum. For parents, daycares, and special-ed teams: five to ten minutes a day, zero guesswork, scripts included.Success without burnout. Why mixing story time, movement games, and even movie characters with a target sound cements learning for ADHD and dyslexic brains.Quote to tape on the fridge: “If they can feel it, hear it, and giggle while they say it, the brain keeps it forever.”Whether your child is handwriting their first “B” at 11 or devouring chapter books at five, Rebecca’s message is simple: build a sensory-rich foundation now, and reading roadblocks vanish before they start.👤 About Rebecca McAllisterA certified teacher, literacy specialist, and co-founder of The Active Reader, Rebecca turned her own late-identified dyslexia into a mission: give every family the tools schools often skip. She leads one-to-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring across North America and designs play-based curricula that fit into real-life parent schedules.🔗 Connect with Rebecca & The Active ReaderWebsite: theactivereader.com Instagram: @the_active_reader LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rebeccalmcallister Email: rebecca@theactivereader.com#ComplexKidsSimpleSolutions #EarlyLiteracy #OrtonGillingham #DyslexiaSupport #PlayBasedLearning | — | ||||||
| 6/23/25 | ![]() Dinalynn Rosenbush – The Language of Play: Brave Parenting, Early Words & School-Home Teamwork | Send us a textIn this conversation, Michelle sits down with veteran speech-language pathologist Dinalynn Rosenbush—creator of the Language of Play podcast—to unpack what happens when an over-worked school SLP, a fired-up mom, and a “mama-gut” hunch all meet at the IEP table.Dinalynn shares:School vs. private therapy—decoded. Why public-school SLPs have to wait for an academic “hit,” how 62-kid caseloads force group sessions, and the simple question her principal always asked: *“Is it good for kids?”*🏫Her high-frequency hack for apraxia. Ten-minute hallway “card-blitz” drills that gave one-on-one intensity—without blowing up the bell schedule. 🃏The power of “team emails” and fearless follow-up. How Michelle’s bi-weekly “Team Drake” updates model the kind of parent–therapist loop every complex kid needs. 📬Why early intervention beats perfect answers. Hear the story of a mom with a one-year-old and a brain malformation—and how saying yes to services before a rock-solid label can change the trajectory. 🌱Ditching the yes/no trap. Practical language swaps that demand real words (or signs) and open the door to bigger conversations. 💬Bravery isn’t optional. “When fear is present and you move forward anyway—that’s bravery.” What that looks like when you’re doubting your gut, juggling therapists, and rewriting bedtime to fit sensory needs. 🦸♀️Whether you’re waiting on an evaluation, wondering how to actually partner with the school SLP, or just need permission to trust your intuition, Dinalynn’s 30-years of wisdom will show you how to turn everyday play into powerful speech therapy—and why no parent should have to do it alone.👤 About Dinalynn RosenbushConsultant & parenting coach • 30-year public-school SLP • International best-selling author • Host of the top 1.5 % podcast The Language of Play. Dinalynn empowers parents to weave speech and language practice into ordinary routines—even when a delay is present.
