In this episode of The Save A Brain Headquarters, we speak with Orlanda Bettison — the creator of My Brain Books, a children’s book series designed to help kids understand their brain, emotions, and develop lifelong mental wellbeing skills.

Orlanda is a psychology-educated former primary school teacher and passionate advocate for children’s emotional health. Drawing on her academic background, classroom experience, and personal insights, she founded My Brain Books to fill the gap in accessible, evidence-based mental health education for young minds.

Throughout our conversation, Orlanda shares:

• Why teaching emotional intelligence early matters
• How storytelling can help children manage stress, anxiety, and behavior
• Tools parents and educators can use to support brain health in kids
• The journey of bringing My Brain Books to life — from concept to global audience

Whether you’re a parent, educator, therapist, or brain health advocate, this episode offers valuable insights into nurturing emotional resilience in children — and the important role we all play in shaping healthy brains.
