Take Back My Brain
Let Them Fly: Why ADHD Kids Don’t Belong in a Box with Nancy Disbrow

Not every child was made to sit still, color inside the lines, or learn phonics by a script.

In this vibrant and truth-telling episode, I’m joined by Nancy Disbrow—a former HR executive turned ADHD coach who brings deep wisdom, lived experience, and loads of love for the beautifully wired, outside-the-box brain.

We talk about:

  • 🧠 Why ADHD and dyslexia aren’t flaws—they’re gifts

  • 📚 What’s wrong with how most schools teach reading today

  • 👧🏽 How ADHD shows up differently in girls (and why it’s often missed)

  • 🏫 Why the school system often fails these kids—and what homeschooling can unlock

  • 🌈 Why confidence > compliance for every uniquely-wired child

If you’ve ever felt like your child doesn’t “fit the system,” this episode will give you hope, strategy, and a whole lot of joy. Let them fly, mama.

----

Nancy Disbro joins Laurie Hammer to share her journey with ADHD and dyslexia as both a parent and a coach. Discover how reframing these conditions as strengths can empower children, families, and even future leaders to thrive.

----

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, I sit down with Nancy Disbro—ADHD coach, advocate, and host of the Dyslexic Maverick podcast. Nancy shares her deeply personal journey as both a parent and a professional, highlighting how ADHD and dyslexia can be reframed as gifts rather than setbacks.

We talk about the challenges she faced raising her daughter with multiple diagnoses, the myths surrounding ADHD and dyslexia, and why protecting a child’s confidence is more important than their report card. Nancy also offers practical advice for parents: how to advocate for your child, understand brain development, and balance academics with passions that fuel self-esteem.

Along the way, we dive into neurodivergence in adulthood—why so many entrepreneurs and CEOs are ADHD or dyslexic, how to manage “chaos” in business and family life, and the importance of grace and humor at home.

If you’re raising or supporting a differently-wired child—or wondering how ADHD and dyslexia can actually become superpowers—you’ll want to hear this conversation.

----

Nancy Disbro is an ADHD coach, speaker, and host of the Dyslexic Maverick podcast. After a successful corporate career, her daughter’s diagnoses of ADHD and dyslexia inspired Nancy to embrace her own neurodivergence and dedicate her life to advocacy and coaching. She now helps families and individuals uncover the creativity, resilience, and strengths inside every differently-wired brain.

Maria Campbell joins Laurie Hammer to explain how thermography, a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging tool, can help women and men monitor inflammation, detect potential health issues early, and take control of their wellness journey.

----

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, I sit down with Maria Campbell to talk about thermography—an incredible, non-invasive tool that lets you actually see inflammation and early physiological changes in your body.

She shares how this tool empowers both women and men to take control of their wellness, make proactive lifestyle choices, and use their results as a “compass” to guide next steps. Along the way, we dive into practical tips for breast self-awareness, lymphatic health, and reducing systemic inflammation so you can take actionable steps toward better health every day.

Questioning COVID Protocols: Dr. Bryan Ardis on Treatment, Snake Venom, and Natural Health

In this thought-provoking episode of Take Back My Brain, I sit down with Dr. Bryan Ardis, DC, to discuss how the death of his father-in-law in 2020 propelled him into speaking out about hospital COVID-19 protocols.

We also touch on his concerns about Big Pharma, censorship, and the importance of seeking natural approaches to health. He closes by inviting listeners to his Healing for the Ages conference, where he and others will teach strategies for supporting health and understanding lab results.

He has since become a public voice on the safety of COVID-19 treatments, the potential origins of the virus, and natural strategies for supporting health. Through his speaking events, media appearances, and annual Healing for the Ages conference, Dr. Ardis encourages individuals to ask hard questions, seek out information, and consider natural approaches to wellness.

Take Back My Brain
Homebirth Isn’t What You Think (Here’s Why)

What if birth could be peaceful, powerful, and led by faith instead of fear?

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with RN and homebirth coach Aly McClain to explore a topic that many first-time moms don’t hear enough about: the truth and beauty of homebirth. Aly shares her Christ-centered approach to birth coaching and breaks down the mindset shifts, faith-based tools, and practical prep that help women walk into motherhood with peace, not panic.

We talk about:

  • The biggest misconceptions about homebirth

  • How faith changes the birth experience

  • What it means to trust your body—and your Creator

  • Real strategies to prepare your heart and home for birth

Whether you're expecting your first baby or just want to redefine your perspective on birth, this conversation is a must-listen.
