Episode 195 with Natalie Baker.

“Neurofeedback is really about identifying maladaptive brain waves, then training the brain to correct them.”

Natalie is a licensed psychotherapist, a certified brain health coach, and a dedicated Buddhist practitioner and teacher based in New York City. Given her Western training in psychology and psychotherapy and her Eastern training in meditation, Natalie brings a broader, holistic perspective to mental health and well-being.

Natalie began integrating neurofeedback technology into her therapy practice after witnessing its profound impact on trauma clients and those with ADHD and anxiety. She later founded the Neurofeedback Training Company to offer in-office and home neurofeedback programs nationally.

Natalie discusses the benefits of this science-backed, non-invasive therapy, and how neurofeedback can help train our brains to function more effectively, including improved focus, reduced anxiety, more regulated emotions, and better sleep.

If you’ve never heard of neurofeedback — or if you’ve heard about it and would like to know more about how it might apply to ADHD, then you don’t want to miss this episode because we go over all the details, including who it’s for, how it works, and how much it costs.

Episode 194 with Unami Magwenzi.

“I always felt like something didn’t quite click for me. I was capable and doing all these things professionally, but I never felt on top of anything.”

Unami is a clinical psychologist, a pastor, a wife, and the mother of 4 children — 3 teenagers and a 5 year old. She is originally from Botswana in Southern Africa and now lives with her family in Perth, Western Australia.

Unami shares how her children’s diagnoses prompted her own self-reflection, especially when it came to her struggles with focus, organization, and sensory sensitivities. She was diagnosed recently at the age of 44.

We talk about some of the nuanced cultural perspectives surrounding ADHD, particularly in southern Africa versus Australia, and how those views have shaped Unami’s journey to self-acceptance.

Episode 193 with Drew Turner.

“I was doing everything to make others happy, and then I wasn’t happy. A lot of that comes from ADHD and being empathetic, but ultimately it does a real disservice.”

Drew Turner lives near Austin, Texas, and was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29. Drew’s diagnosis completely changed her understanding of herself and gave her an opportunity to rewrite her personal narrative from one of self-doubt, exhaustion, and shame to one of resilience, ambition, and empowerment.

After getting laid off from a leadership training position at Tesla, Drew was suddenly tasked with managing the fear, overwhelm, curiosity, and uncertainty that come with exploring new career opportunities, all while determining what would be most helpful for her ADHD.

We talk about the many ways ADHD shaped Drew's life, and how she’s learning to forge a path that aligns with her authentic self. And Drew now coaches other women in leadership who are ready to break through their own internal barriers, transform their doubts, and lead with genuine confidence.
