Episode 126: The ADHD Airway Connection with Dr. Kathy Cantwell

Episode 127

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 34:32

In this powerful conversation, Andrea sits down with pediatric chiropractor and airway-focused practitioner Dr. Kathy Cantwell to discuss one of the most overlooked contributors to behavior issues, sleep struggles, nervous system dysregulation, ADHD symptoms, and long-term health concerns in children: airway dysfunction.

Dr. Cantwell shares her own personal journey with severe sleep-disordered breathing and explains how mouth breathing, tongue ties, narrow palates, and poor airway development can affect everything from emotional regulation to brain development.

This episode is a must-listen for parents of children struggling with:

ADHD or focus issues
Chronic congestion or mouth breathing
Snoring
Bedwetting
Poor sleep
Behavioral challenges
Picky eating
Frequent illness
Anxiety or nervous system dysregulation

In This Episode, We Discuss:

Why snoring in children is never “normal” or “cute”
The connection between airway issues and ADHD-like symptoms
How tongue ties can impact feeding, sleep, and nervous system development
Signs of airway dysfunction in infants, toddlers, and older children
Why open-mouth breathing changes facial development over time
The relationship between airway issues, sleep deprivation, cortisol, and behavior
How poor oxygenation impacts the developing brain
The connection between sleep-disordered breathing and bedwetting
Why many children with airway dysfunction crave carbs and struggle with picky eating
How airway issues affect growth hormone, blood sugar regulation, and emotional regulation
What parents can look for at home
Why this issue is so commonly missed by providers
The importance of a team approach when supporting children with airway dysfunction

Key Signs Parents Should Watch For:

Mouth breathing
Snoring
Dark circles under the eyes (“allergic shiners”)
Chronic congestion
Poor sleep quality
Frequent waking
Bedwetting past typical potty-training age
Picky eating or gagging on tougher foods
Hyperactivity or behavioral dysregulation
Daytime fatigue

Episode 122: Being SuperMom is costing you more than you think

Episode 123

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 19:43

Maybe you got thrust into the "super Mom" role against your will when your child was diagnosed with a complex medical diagnosis or chronic illness. Maybe you've been trying to get out of "Super Mom" mode for years but still keep getting stuck in the cycle... If this sounds like you, then listen up! In this episode, Andrea explains why “super mom” parenting is unsustainable for parents of children with neurodevelopmental, mental health, or complex medical needs. She describes how long-term overfunctioning keeps caregivers in fight-or-flight and can lead to burnout (dorsal vagal shutdown), sometimes showing up as overwhelm or doom scrolling, especially when a parent’s body stays in emergency mode even after a child improves. She outlines common barriers to prioritizing needs—believing the child’s needs always come first, financial strain, and postponing self-support until the next medical hurdle passes—and shares practical ways to rebalance by seeking outside help, adjusting appointment frequency, using insurance-covered counseling, leveraging community resources, and asking friends for predictable respite. 00:00 Stop Being Super Mom 01:04 Special Needs Reality 01:36 Caregiver Limits Story 03:33 Why Self Care Fails 04:17 Needs Above Yours 06:15 Burnout Nervous System 08:41 Care Is Not Optional 10:17 Money Pressure Trap 11:37 When Child Gets Better 12:26 Rebalancing Resources 15:46 Creative Support Systems 17:27 Know Your Nervous State 18:07 Final Encouragement You'll find several useful trainings in the Thriving Together community Access for free and stay around if the vibe fits!

Episode 121: When Mother's Day Hurts: A Nervous System + Faith Conversation

Episode 122

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 24:38

With Mother's Day just a few weeks away, this is an episode you don't want to miss!

The episode addresses why Mother’s Day can feel heavy for parents of children with special needs, emphasizing that love can coexist with grief, exhaustion, and resentment. From a nervous system lens, chronic stress, heightened expectations, sensory and emotional needs, and social comparison can make the day feel like pressure and potential failure, leaving a dysregulated body unable to access joy. In this episode, Andrea discusses mourning the motherhood imagined, lost ease, changed relationships, lack of being seen, and diminished capacity, while providing practical insight into making this a day you don't dread anymore. 00:00 Mothers Day Reality 00:39 Expectations And Baggage 01:51 Nervous System Pressure 03:49 Grief On Holidays 06:51 Comparison And Culture 10:36 Invisible Load Seen 13:06 Faith And Lament 15:35 Plan A New Day 18:50 Boundaries And Support 19:47 Reframe And Encourage Join the conversation!

Episode 120:PANS/PANDAS: Homeopathy, Diagnosis Challenges, and What Parents Can Watch For

Episode 121

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 53:27

In this episode, Andrea interviews naturopathic doctor Dr. Bahr, who uses classical homeopathy to help families recover from PANS/PANDAS (autoimmune neuropsychiatric symptoms triggered by infections such as strep). They discuss how Dr. Bahr’s practice built consistent, structured care so families can be supported during crises and covered when providers are away. Dr. Bahr shares how she moved from skepticism to believing in homeopathy after rapid improvement in her own chronic psychiatric condition, and explains how she shifted into specializing in PANS/PANDAS after recognizing cases in her mental-health practice. They review common signs (episodic flares, OCD/intrusive thoughts, separation anxiety, rage, cognitive decline, urinary frequency/bedwetting, sensory changes) and why diagnosis is often missed, emphasizing provider curiosity, medical training, and listening to the full story, plus guidance for parents to connect with experienced communities and trust informed support. 00:46 What Is PANS And PANDAS 03:01 Why Homeopathy Works 05:55 Consistency In Care Model 08:11 From Skeptic To Believer 16:58 Host’s Homeopathy Turning Point 18:43 How She Specialized In PANS 22:03 Riding The Wave To Go All In 23:53 Being Truly Understood 25:31 Simplifying the Approach 26:08 Spotting PANS PANDAS Signs 28:09 OCD Tics and School Regression 29:54 Overlaps With ADHD Triggers 30:52 Why Listening Matters 33:59 Homeopathy Beyond Labels 35:41 Diagnosis Still Matters 39:13 Why Doctors Dismiss It 43:26 System Gaps and Curiosity 48:57 Next Steps for Parents 51:42 Slow and Steady Healing This is a MUST LISTEN episode if you think your child might have PANS/PANDAS.

Episode 119:Nervous System First: Dr. Tony on the “Perfect Storm” Behind Kids’ Neurodevelopmental Struggles

Episode 120

Saturday, April 11, 2026 • Duration 49:04

Andrea, a functional health practitioner and RN, interviews Dr. Tony, a chiropractor focused on nervous system healing, about why neurodevelopmental disorders and related issues are exploding.

Dr. Tony says the root is not genetics but a “perfect storm” of toxic overload (inhaled, ingested, or injected), high maternal stress during pregnancy that wires sympathetic dominance and suppresses vagal development, and birth interventions/trauma (e.g., forceps, vacuum, C-section, inductions) impacting the brainstem, vagus nerve, and motor-sensory systems.

He explains many families come after exhausting conventional routes, and outlines his 3-step process: deep case history (“CSI”), objective nervous system scans/exam, and a personalized plan including pacing and often pausing other interventions so nervous system care can take effect and make therapies like detox, speech, and OT work better.

They also discuss grief, validation, parent nervous system regulation, and where to find his podcast and Instagram.

Episode 118: For Those In Despair

Episode 119

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 18:36

If you’ve been sitting in despair, this episode is for you.

We’re having an honest conversation about what despair actually means—and what it doesn’t. It’s not a failure of your faith. It’s not a sign you’re doing something wrong.

In this episode, we explore how spiritual bypassing can keep us stuck, what the Bible really shows us about walking through despair, and why a felt sense of safety is essential for true healing.

You’ll also learn how to invite God into the middle of your mess—and where simple distress tolerance practices can support you when things feel overwhelming.

If you’ve been holding it together on the outside but struggling on the inside, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

Episode 117: What a Dysregulated Nervous System Looks Like in Children

Episode 118

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 20:31

What does a dysregulated nervous system actually look like in kids?

If your child has meltdowns, shuts down, refuses food, or reacts in ways that feel confusing, it’s easy to assume it’s behavioral. But often, it’s neurological.

In this episode, we break down how nervous system dysregulation shows up in children, including the difference between tantrums and meltdowns, common regulation struggles, and how your child’s unique brain wiring impacts behavior.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on—and how to respond in ways that support your child’s nervous system, not fight against it.

Because your child isn’t giving you a hard time… their nervous system is having a hard time.

If this episode resonated with you and you’re ready to better understand your child’s behavior from a root-cause, nervous-system perspective:
