Renegade Member, Dr. Brooke Weinstein, is a neuroscience expert, occupational therapist, and world renowned expert on parenting. She is also an unapologetic advocate for mental health and self-regulation.
On this week's episode, Amy Jo Martin welcomes Dr. Brooke into her home (literally) to go deep fast. Dr. Brooke opens up about a life-changing moment when she decided to reclaim her power amidst the chaos of motherhood, a struggling marriage, and the pressures of life. Her “Why Not Now?” moment - choosing herself and her children over the weight of caregiving - not only transformed her personal life but also sparked the creation of a groundbreaking method for emotional and sensory regulation.
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Brooke shares her journey through grief, resilience, and the courage to prioritize her well-being. From small steps like walking daily to monumental decisions that redefined her path, Dr. Brooke offers raw insights and actionable tools for navigating trauma, building self-awareness, and finding strength in vulnerability.
Amy Jo and Dr. Brooke dive into the science behind nervous system regulation and how understanding your mental health at a neurological level can unlock your true potential. They also explore the importance of embracing emotions, setting boundaries, creating space for healing and the impact of the Renegade community which Dr. Brooke is a part of.
This episode is a heartfelt testament to the transformative power of "Why Not Now?" moments. Whether you're navigating stress, seeking balance, or simply curious about neuroscience, this episode is a must-listen.
