In today’s conversation, Sasha sits with Pen King Jr., holistic transformation coach, health-tech innovator, and CEO of Bonding Health, to explore a radically different approach to ADHD, focusing on emotional regulation, trauma, and mental health.

Pen is also a dear friend of Sasha's- they met freshman year at Syracuse University in English class. Their connection deepened when she announced she was raising money to run the NYC Marathon for charity. Pen donated $1,000 on the spot, making it possible for Sasha to run the marathon at all. That generosity marked the beginning of an 18+ year friendship rooted in trust, support, and shared values.

Today, Pen is leading a movement that challenges the conventional ADHD model. Rather than overstimulating the brain or defaulting to medication, he shares why slowing the brain down, strengthening neuroplasticity, and rethinking emotional regulation may be the key to lasting healing—for children and adults alike.

In this conversation, they explore:

• Why traditional ADHD treatments may be missing the root cause
• How trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation shape behavior
• The science behind calming the nervous system
• How the Bonding Health app empowers families through warmth, play, and connection
• Why asking “What is my child communicating?” changes everything

This episode is for parents, educators, health professionals, and anyone curious about holistic mental health, ADHD alternatives, neuroplasticity, and integrative healing.

If you’re ready to move beyond bandaid solutions and explore what true regulation and resilience look like, this conversation will change how you see mental health.

Discover why slowing down might be the fastest path forward.
