In the Cortex Podcast
Season 2
by In the Cortex
We have all experienced a physiological reaction when we hear our phone ding, our kids ask to watch a show or feel like we've misplaced our beloved device. It's because our world circles around screens and they have snuck into every way of our being. If we don't learn how to work with it and find a healthy balance, it will overload our dopamine systems to wanting more and more with no end in sight. Without healthy boundaries around our devices, our lives fall out of balance and into dysregulation. This episode shares our take on how we can reflect on how the use of technology needs some attention and thought, So, here are some of our thoughts to start the conversation.

In today's episode, we walk through our own path getting into brain reorganization and subconscious belief work. We go through our trajectory and identify the different spots where we've experienced resistance (to a new idea, to the brainwork, to certain beliefs). Then we talk about how we worked through them! It's a different episode from our usual, please let us know if you like it!
In today's episode, we connect with Dani's childhood best friend, Lindsay. Lindsay has been around the concept of ITC for quite some time but hasn't been fully ready to look at her subconscious programming until just recently. We talk through her story and how her brainwork has given her the ability to face the challenging conversations that she has been avoiding for so many years. We talk about what is codependency and how that's related to an unintegrated brain and subconscious programming. We explore how this is showing up for Lindsay and then we do a reconnect to help her learn to love herself from a subconscious level! It's an episode everyone will resonate with either from a personal or familiar level. Links from the episode: https://psychcentral.com/lib/symptoms-signs-of-codependency#signs-of-codependency
In this episode, we look at the after: what does life look like after you reorganize your brain? And how do you handle dysregulation? A lot of people think that once you've done the work, you're done. No more to do, life will now be sunshine and daisies. But...we're human after all! Life is unpredictable and even people with the most organized brain will get rattled once in a while. The difference is that after brain reorganization, we deal with those situations so differently!
In this episode, we unpack what neurodiversity and neurodivergence is, where the titles came from, and what we think about it from a brain perspective. We’re not saying anyone is broken. Neurodiversity is a reality and we fervently believe in supporting different brain. What we are saying is that life can get a lot easier for all of us if we support our brain giving it the foundation it needs!

What is dyslexia? According to the Mayo Clinic, Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called a reading disability, dyslexia is a result of individual differences in areas of the brain that process language. Dyslexia is not due to problems with intelligence, hearing or vision. Most children with dyslexia can succeed in school with tutoring or a specialized education program. Emotional support also plays an important role. Though there's no cure for dyslexia, early assessment and intervention result in the best outcome. Sometimes dyslexia goes undiagnosed for years and isn't recognized until adulthood, but it's never too late to seek help. In this podcast episode, we break down what is going on neurologically with those who have this diagnosis. Our focus is to share that there is so much more to discover to really understand what is going on: primitive reflexes, lower brain development (pons and midbrain), and ear/eye dominance.

In our latest episode, we dive into the rollercoaster ride of parenting, where imperfection is not only normal but expected. Led by Dani Perrecone and Paloma Garcia, we unpack the guilt and shame that often sneak up on us when we don't meet our parenting standards. We chat about those moments that hit us right in the feels, stirring up emotions we didn't even know were lurking beneath the surface. From small slip-ups to major challenges, every twist and turn in our journey as parents have the potential to trigger self-doubt and criticism. But fear not! We offer a refreshing perspective: it's okay to mess up. It's essential for growth. We're all just doing the best we can, and that's more than enough. Instead of beating ourselves up, they encourage us to practice self-compassion and embrace the beautiful chaos of parenthood. By ditching the myth of the flawless parent and embracing our flaws, we can create a safe space where authenticity and vulnerability thrive. So, let's ditch the guilt trip and celebrate the messy, wonderful adventure of raising kids together! Sign Up for our Revolutionary Parenting Program with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum today!
