In the Cortex is an online community with programs that show people the tools they need to change their lives through brain reorganization. In this podcast, we talk about what life can be like when you live in the cortex - the rational, fun part of the brain where we have logic, a sense of humor, language, and our higher functions. Join us to talk about brainy concepts, subconscious beliefs, and all the amazing things that the brain and mind can do!

Honoring Our Children
How do we motivate kids to do the things they have to do? With snacks and prizes, gold stars, minutes on the iPad?
That's what most parents, caregivers, and teachers do nowadays but, is it actually working?
Today we talk about how to motivate and honor the efforts kids are making so they're not dependent on the prize!
This is the article we talked about: https://happyfamilies.com.au/articles/how-to-motivate-kids-and-why-rewards-arent-the-answer -
Our Relationship with Screen Time
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.

Working Ourselves Through Resistance
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! -
ITC Live Coaching Session- breaking down codependency.
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.

Dysregulation After Brain Reorganization
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! -
Neurodiversity and ITC
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!

No Containers for Me
Re 9/04 episode: I chose not to containerize my babies to improve my attachment with them. It also helped with elimination communication. I didn’t realize I was also helping to properly develop other parts of their brains.
I love that you two are sharing this information, in easy to listen to bites, with the world.
Your are shame-free description of how and why we inhibit our babies’ development is well done.
