In this episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, Claudia Noriega Bernstein and specialist Alyssa Burke dive deep into the grit and the gear-work of the human mind.

    Who Really Knew the Woman Behind the Icon? with Barbara Mujica

    In this captivating episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, host Claudia Noriega Bernstein sits down with award-winning novelist and historian Barbara Mujica to peel back the labels of "icon" and "legend." We all know the portraits, but do we know the psychological toll of survival? Why did Frida Kahlo’s own sister become her husband’s mistress? How did a Hollywood "Goddess" like Dolores del Rio revolutionize education for the poor in Mexico? Barbara shares her fascinating process of writing bio-novels, using the voices of those closest to these women—sisters and hairdressers—to find the raw, human truth. This conversation is a deep dive into the importance of female friendship, the trauma of war, and the incredible resilience required to land on your feet when the world is falling apart.

    Supporting Neurodivergent Children with Sound and Emotional Regulation with Nicola Marie Rose

    What if what we call "bad behavior" is actually a nervous system screaming for safety? In this insightful episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, host Claudia Noriega Bernstein sits down with Nicola "Nikki" Marie Rose, the founder of HushAway. Nikki pulls back the curtain on the science of sound-based emotional regulation, explaining how frequencies, binaural beats, and ASMR can help children with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorders navigate a world that often feels too loud and unpredictable. Today, she is dedicated to helping children, particularly those who are neurodivergent,  move from a state of "survival" to a state of peace. This is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone who believes that every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and heard.
