This week, I am welcoming Stefanie Broes, the co-founder of Moonbird, a health tech start-up active in the well-being space. Moonbird is the world's first handheld breath pacer and is all about making breathwork accessible to let people live healthier and happier lives. The product is used to decrease stress, manage anxiety, and combat sleeping problems. Stefanie has a medical background, a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, and a master's in IP and data protection law. Before starting Moonbird she worked in two other start-up companies. When she discovered the effectiveness of breathing exercises to tackle her own sleeping issues, she submerged herself in the matter.

Moonbird originated in Belgium, as the brainchild of Stefanie and Michael Broes, a brother and sister duo. When Stefanie suffered from sleeping problems, she tried breathwork but struggled to keep her focus on the breath. Moonbird is based on the calming power of affective touch. This refers to the slow, soft physical contact that, as social mammals, we’re pre-wired to find soothing. This revolutionary tool guides you intuitively, helping you to breathe slowly. Simply hold moonbird in your hand, and sync your breathing to the device: inhale when it expands, exhale when it deflates.

Could the root of your child’s sleep struggles be tied to something deeper, like oral function or how they breathe? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Pasco, founder of MyoWway Centers, to unpack the surprising connection between airway health, myofunctional therapy, and pediatric sleep.

As a seasoned dentist, entrepreneur, and airway health advocate, Dr. Pasco brings a unique, whole-child perspective to how functional oral development plays a critical role in sleep quality, behavior, and even long-term wellness. We explore what most parents (and even some providers) are missing when it comes to mouth breathing, tongue ties, and sleep-disordered breathing, and what you can do about it.

Whether you’re a parent navigating chronic sleep disruptions, an educator noticing daytime behavioral challenges, or a provider looking to better understand root-cause pediatric care, this conversation is full of insight, validation, and hope.

Episode Highlights:

• What myofunctional therapy is—and why it matters in childhood development
• The connection between oral function and sleep, mood, and attention
• Early signs of airway issues in infants and toddlers
• Why mouth breathing and tongue posture are more than cosmetic concerns
