In Episode 61 of the HerStory Podcast, Kylie King sits down with Carlie Byrom from Life Brain Training to talk about how she turned brain training into a business and why neurofeedback is becoming a go-to support for busy women juggling stress, sleep issues, focus, and emotional overwhelm.

Carlie shares her personal “stuck” moment – after years of self-development and doing “all the right things” – when her psychologist suggested a system called NeurOptimal®. What started as a curiosity quickly became a family game-changer, especially when Carlie tried it for her daughter’s emotional regulation. From there, a rented system turned into certification… and Life Brain Training was born.

This episode breaks down what NeurOptimal actually is (in plain English): a non-invasive EEG-based neurofeedback training tool where sensors read brain activity and the client simply relaxes while listening to music. Carlie explains how sessions run, what people come in for (sleep, stress, motivation, PTSD support, peak performance), and why you don’t need to “talk it all out” for your nervous system to start shifting.

You’ll also hear the real side of business ownership as a mum of three: the juggle, the guilt, the marketing struggle, and the big vision Carlie has for a future wellness space that supports families with nervous system care, good vibes, and practical tools that help people feel more resilient day-to-day.

What You’ll Learn in Episode 61

• What NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is and how it works (without the clinical fluff)
• What a session looks like: sensors, music, and why you don’t have to “do” anything
• Common reasons clients try brain training: sleep, stress, focus, emotional regulation, resilience
• Why it can be helpful for busy mums, entrepreneurs, and families
• Carlie’s biggest challenge as a business owner (the juggle and the marketing)
• Her bigger long-term vision for a future wellness-style space

At Life Brain Training, we offer NeurOptimal® neurofeedback sessions, machine rentals and support. Because we know what it’s like to be parents , and how sometimes life throws us curveballs.

Who is Life Brain Training : We are a Mum and Dad team that have a passion to help people just like us.

Prior to starting our business, we struggled as parents with our eldest child who had emotional regulation issues. Searching for answers, we were introduced to NeurOptimal® sessions for ourselves to help with stress, depression and anxiety symptoms and got great results.

We were so pleased with the results we got that, we wondered If it would help our eldest child with her emotional regulation issues.

After some research, we decided to rent a machine for 3 months and were so pleased with the results that we embarked on the certification training and Life Brain Training was born.
