1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280 Hi, and welcome to the In The Cortex podcast. 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,280 We are your hosts. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm Paloma Garcia. 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,640 And I am Danny Parakoni. 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,240 And we're the founders of In The Cortex, an online community with programs that show 6 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:21,480 people the tools that they need to change their lives, their brain reorganization, no 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,880 medication, just movement. 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,080 When you get your brain out of survival mode and regulate your nervous system, you start 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,160 to live in the fun, logical part of the brain, the cortex. 10 00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:36,520 Subscribe today and learn how to live your best in the cortex life. 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,320 And now, on to today's episode. 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,640 Let's start out with a quick cortex moment from one of our members. 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,360 My name is Louisa. 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,040 I am a mother of four boys. 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,880 And my in the cortex moment was when I realized how much the program had given me and how 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,280 much it had helped me. 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,480 I was going about my day when my seven-year-old at the time burst into the room and he was 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,000 just having a huge reaction and all the big feelings were coming out. 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,720 And normally, I would feel like having a big reaction to my child's big reaction. 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,040 And then things would just kind of spiral. 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:24,280 And instead, I found myself kind of checking in calmly on how I felt it would be best to 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,280 help my son work through the situation that was causing big feelings for him. 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:36,400 I was able to stay emotionally regulated and then help him come to that place with me peacefully. 24 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,160 And in that moment, I was realizing that I was being the parent that I try to be, that 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:49,520 I've always wanted to be, and whatever the outcome was from there, that I was going to 26 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,560 be able to deal with it with feelings of peace and resolve and in a way that I could feel 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,960 happy about and feel like I had been the parent and the person that I wanted to be in that 28 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,520 moment. 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:10,200 As a parent, life can just be so overwhelming, but I didn't have to feel overwhelmed anymore. 30 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,360 The chaos didn't just take me down and I felt peace and steadiness and the ability to make 31 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160 decisions and have solutions. 32 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,600 And it's just made all the difference in my life and in our home. 33 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,920 Okay, today we are talking about why brain reorganization. 34 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,400 So let's do a little recap of how the brain organizes itself, how the primitive brain 35 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,360 develops and what movements are necessary. 36 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,720 If you've been following us for a while, you've probably heard this spiel before, but we're 37 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,880 going to do it really, really quick, I promise, in the first year of life. 38 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Actually, from the time babies are in the womb through the first and sometimes second 39 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,600 year of life, we're all designed to do certain movements that develop the primitive parts 40 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,880 of our brain. 41 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,320 The primitive brain is super, super important for a bunch of our automatic functions. 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,800 So that goes from everything from producing dopamine to blinking, digesting, just so 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,840 many things that we have to do automatically on a day-to-day basis. 44 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,760 Why do they have to be the automatic so that our higher centers of the brain can focus 45 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,160 on what we're doing here and now? 46 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,840 All of the things that we want to actually do in our life, our logical brain, that's 47 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,880 what we wanted to focus on. 48 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,520 So the movements that are necessary in that chunk of our life are creeping, develops the 49 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,520 ponds. 50 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,480 Creeping is when you're on your belly, you do that kind of army crawl situation. 51 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Then crawling develops our midbrain. 52 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,640 If you want to learn a little bit more about those two, go back and listen to our two previous 53 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,800 episodes. 54 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,520 And then at the same time, babies are constantly doing all these really, really important movements 55 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,440 that integrate their primitive reflexes. 56 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,800 We'll touch on that more in detail in a different episode. 57 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,880 But that's just kind of to get kind of light of foundation, so to speak, for the episode 58 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,960 is really so much of our primitive brain development is dependent on movement. 59 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,800 And that is what the rest of our brain development is dependent on. 60 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,880 So it goes movement, develops a primitive brain, and that makes it so once it's fully 61 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,960 developed, your cortex, your logical brain and higher thinking is able to take over, 62 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,960 want to live your life, which is in the cortex. 63 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Exactly. 64 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,720 So now we're going to talk about what are some of the things that could be interfering 65 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,840 with those movements Paloma just talked about. 66 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:31,600 And let's be honest today is a totally different world than we have ever experienced as humans. 67 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,440 We've mentioned this before. 68 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,880 And it's something to really help everyone understand that it's nothing that we're doing 69 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:44,520 wrong as a society on purpose per se, but there are consequences to some of the things 70 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520 that we are doing. 71 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,200 And we're going to list some of them out here. 72 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Real quick disclaimer before we get into that, we don't want anyone to feel any shame or 73 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,720 any hurt if they hear any of these things that we address and come across as being, 74 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,360 you know, pointing our finger at you and telling you should know better by now, because there's 75 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,960 things that Paloma and I find out every day, we're like, Oh my gosh, I didn't know that's, 76 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,240 you know, when that I could have known that information. 77 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520 So please take this following information as just information. 78 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,520 It's we're educating you on what is getting in the way of natural brain development. 79 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,520 And there is something that we can all do this as a collective. 80 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,800 And so that's our goal here. 81 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760 We are not to shame, but rather to educate. 82 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,120 So here we go. 83 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:30,320 The number one thing that we are doing differently is, and this is the kind of like the umbrella 84 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,320 to it all. 85 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,000 And so the first thing is we're so stressed, right? 86 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,480 In general, we are overly stressed in this world today. 87 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,320 We have so it's information overwhelm coming at us. 88 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,920 There is just so many things that we have to be doing to keep up with whatever's happening 89 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,920 in the world around us. 90 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,040 We're putting on so much stress into our lives. 91 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,080 So then we start turning to other options to reduce that load. 92 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,360 But when we start turning to other options, let's bring in the containers really quick. 93 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,520 The containers are a situation where we put babies in apparatuses to keep them entertained 94 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640 so we can go work, so we can go clean the house. 95 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,640 We can go do all the millions of things that are being demanded of us because we don't live 96 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,880 in those villages anymore. 97 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240 We don't divide up the workload. 98 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,000 So now us moms, dads, caregivers, we're taking on five jobs that should have been passed 99 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,680 down to the whole village, right? 100 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360 And we all have our part to make it easier. 101 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,200 So now we're like, Hey, what can we do to shortcut this so I can go get all those things 102 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,200 done? 103 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,440 And then the other thing is happening. 104 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,120 If you walk into any baby store, you see you are completely inundated with the options 105 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,280 of what you can put your baby in so you can carry on with your life. 106 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:46,360 Now that's great in order to help what I just mentioned for you to be able to carry on with 107 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,360 your life. 108 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,880 But what's happening is that that baby is now neurologically upside down from the moment 109 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680 a baby is born. 110 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,480 It is super important that a baby is on their belly. 111 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,120 That is the default position. 112 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,480 We shouldn't be clocking tummy time. 113 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,520 We should be putting babies on their bellies as much as possible. 114 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,520 Now we get it. 115 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,120 You don't always want to put your baby on the floor because it could be dirty, whatever, 116 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,200 but it's really important to know that that is the default position. 117 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,280 As soon as you put a baby into an apparatus, they are using muscles. 118 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320 They are not supposed to be using at certain timeframes. 119 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,440 They are kind of just jumping over a giant developmentally. 120 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,800 But before we are needing to have babies go into apparatuses, let's talk about when babies 121 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,360 are coming into the world and how that process is looking. 122 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,360 We as a society are very disconnected from our bodies. 123 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,360 We are not able to feel and understand that. 124 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,240 So now we have lots of interventions in place, not saying that interventions are important 125 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,200 because there are definitely a time and place for it. 126 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,480 But I do think that it's another quicker way to just move the process along. 127 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,920 And I think that's the biggest thing is that we are just trying to speed things up because 128 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,480 it works better for our timeframe to keep up with the daily stressors. 129 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:02,160 And we cannot speed up the process of what humans were intended to experience. 130 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,320 And that is so important. 131 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:09,360 And the brain needs the time to experience all of these natural things of how we are 132 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,360 wired. 133 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,800 Coming through the birth canal is a super important process that sets up your proprioceptive system. 134 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,600 It gives you that time period to get acclimated from the comfy womb to now wherever you come 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,600 out into the world. 136 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,560 Things that are just getting sped up and there are consequences to it. 137 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,120 And we also want to talk about the toxins in the world and talking about the environmental 138 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,360 toxins, the food toxins. 139 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,880 We're talking about them being everywhere around us because again, making things shinier, 140 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,480 better, taste better, faster, all the things we have to keep hitting. 141 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,280 There's like a threshold that now we're surpassing as humans. 142 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,600 Like it doesn't taste salty enough. 143 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480 So now we have to add more, whatever. 144 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,720 So there's going to be that constant increase because we've now lost. 145 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560 We're at a touch really on feeling and connecting. 146 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,600 So we're always amping it up, right? 147 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,040 But this also is really careful because we don't want to go too far into all these things 148 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,400 because I know a lot of you hear a listening thing, oh my gosh, I didn't have a vaginal 149 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,040 birth or yes, I put my baby into a container or oh yeah, we don't eat the cleanest at home 150 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,160 and we do have Wi-Fi going on around us as like an environmental thing that's disrupting. 151 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,040 So our whole thing here is you don't have to go live in a bubble, okay? 152 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,880 Because I used to feel like that. 153 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,560 I was very much afraid of the world when I was pregnant with my first. 154 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,640 I was like, how can I bring a human into this super toxic place? 155 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,320 It's just so dangerous for him. 156 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,240 And I had to do a lot of emotional work and really tap into what was the root driving 157 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,240 my fear. 158 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,880 And I was really rooted in safety, which we'll talk about more later in other episodes, but 159 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,800 really that's the subconscious coming through. 160 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,640 There was other things that were really the root of that and I had to go there and that's 161 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,320 why I was so fearful on the surface of everything around me. 162 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,760 And now I can live at peace and harmony of knowing that we're living in 2023 and our 163 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,080 world is full of lots of different things and we're not accustomed to, but now I'm 164 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,080 at peace with it. 165 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,080 So that's one little quick bit. 166 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,120 We'll dive deeper into that later. 167 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,280 Yeah, and I think also in terms of all this stuff that's happening, like you said, we're 168 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,280 shedding light on it. 169 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,000 We're not, I mean, I was a total container baby and lots of people that I know have had 170 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,520 babies that were not delivered naturally and you have to do what you have to do at the 171 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,520 end of the day. 172 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,680 And that's the whole point is that we want to give people the tools and we'll talk about 173 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:35,560 that in a little bit later in the episode, but that's kind of what we're trying to say. 174 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,560 Because for example, another thing is screens and technology. 175 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:39,560 We've never grown up. 176 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:45,080 We didn't grow up as a society having this from the beginning of time. 177 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,040 This is something really, really new. 178 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:54,440 And the full effects of having screens at a young age has not even been fully 100% studied, 179 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,840 because not that many people, it's just time. 180 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800 We have to wait until they're older and older and older to see what's going on. 181 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,880 But we know that that definitely has an impact on neurological development. 182 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,000 And then Trump, we're going to talk about that in another episode. 183 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,440 It's capital T or lowercase T trauma, but things that happen in our lives impact the 184 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,680 way that our brain is perceiving the world and whether or not our brain is going into 185 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,760 that survival mode or able to stay and rest and digest. 186 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,080 So our brain is constantly learning from our experiences. 187 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,240 So if we have traumatic things that happen, that always is going to interfere at some 188 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,920 point with our development or with our subconscious beliefs. 189 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,720 And a lot of the time, we don't know how to get out of it. 190 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,040 And what we do is we go to doctors and they prescribe things and that's great because 191 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,760 it makes you feel good in the moment. 192 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,440 And it makes you be able to operate in society and it makes you feel like, okay, I'm getting 193 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,320 rid of the challenge that I had. 194 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,720 The trouble is now you feel like you don't have any power, right? 195 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,520 You feel like you don't are not able to get to the root of things yourself. 196 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120 And so you're putting your hand, throwing your hands up and just saying, okay, I'm going 197 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,160 to leave it to the experts, right? 198 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,840 And we're saying, I mean, we're experts in what we do, right? 199 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:08,000 We are the experts, but we don't want people to have to depend on us and have to spend 200 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,960 all this money going to all these different modalities and having to be in doctors offices 201 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,600 all the time, taking medication all the time, because the truth is that stuff wears off. 202 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,560 Whatever it is that you're doing, if your brain is still in survival mode, it's going 203 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:22,560 to wear off. 204 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,040 It's not always going to work a hundred percent, right? 205 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,520 And so that's another thing we wanted to talk about. 206 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,560 That goes hand in hand with all the increase in diagnoses and challenges that we're seeing. 207 00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:38,280 So from one side, of course, diagnostic parameters have improved over the past years. 208 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,440 But on the other hand, the challenges have really, really increased as well. 209 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,320 Way more people have these challenges nowadays. 210 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,120 And we have to be realistic about, okay, yes, we had to do what we had to do. 211 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,400 Yes, whatever has happened has happened. 212 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,880 And now it's all about, let's get into how we can change, because this is the whole point 213 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:03,320 of our company is to show people that the brain can change and life can get easier. 214 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,120 You can take it into your own hands. 215 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,480 So no matter what it is that happened in your past, right now, if you decide, I want my 216 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,000 life to be better. 217 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,600 I want things to be easier for me. 218 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,080 I want ABC to not be my go-to MO, right, anymore. 219 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,880 I don't want to have the tantrums. 220 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,560 I don't want to have trouble with reading. 221 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,200 I don't want to do this and that. 222 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,280 This is the moment where you can take charge and that's neuroplasticity. 223 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Yes, I love neuroplasticity with a passion in my whole being. 224 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,920 That's why we've committed so many years to this because we are products of it. 225 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:44,360 We have experienced all the things of the challenges and neuroplasticity has come to 226 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,840 the rescue in the sense that that's all wired into us. 227 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880 We all have the ability to change our brains. 228 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,760 It is what our brain is designed to do is adapt. 229 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:59,920 And as our world is changing, so we need to step into that place of adaptation as well. 230 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,880 So the biggest piece here, and this is when Paloma and I go out and we share what we do 231 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,520 for work and we're like, oh my gosh, it's so amazing, cool. 232 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,120 You can change your brain at any time. 233 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,600 Oh, you can do this at home. 234 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,600 You don't need anybody. 235 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,880 You know, you can just do the videos that we provide. 236 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,880 Yes. 237 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,920 But the biggest part is then we're like, well, why aren't so many people doing it? 238 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640 And the big thing is, is because change is scary. 239 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Change is scary for so many people because we're stepping into an unknown because we 240 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,920 tell you, holy cow, you're going to start laughing more, sleeping better, staying more 241 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,400 focused, getting your stuff done, watching everybody around you go into a state of dysregulation 242 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,040 and you stay calm and regulated. 243 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,960 That's going to be the reality when you do brain reorganization. 244 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,560 And some people are like, I don't understand what that really means because for so long 245 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:51,440 when you go get diagnoses, when you go experience your challenges, you just become that. 246 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,000 You think that's your identity. 247 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,440 I always thought I was just an anxious person. 248 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,440 That's who I was. 249 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,920 But now that I've come out of it, I'm like, oh my gosh, I was never anxious. 250 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,160 That was just my brain responding to the stimuli around me because I didn't have the automatic 251 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,280 functions in place to do their job. 252 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,600 So then I had to compensate and I had to work harder. 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840 And that was because I was a container baby. 254 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,680 My parents put me in a container because I had an older brother and we were living in 255 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080 stairs and then we had carpeting in our house. 256 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,280 So we never had the slick flooring. 257 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,160 So I couldn't develop that certain part of my brain. 258 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,200 So that's the cool part is that you can go back at any time and change your brain. 259 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,600 The hard part is that you actually have to look at you and you got to put the spotlight 260 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,480 on you and you actually have to look at your behaviors, your patterns in life and say, is 261 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,440 this serving me, do I want to continue to be my story? 262 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,520 And that's where you really get to decide, do I want my life to be easier? 263 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400 Do I really want to live my authentic life? 264 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Do I really want to let my true self shine through or do I want to stay in the same patterns? 265 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,240 And we're here to tell you, you get to decide, but we're here to share with you that there's 266 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,200 options and there are choices and we can help guide you on that. 267 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Yeah. 268 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200 And that doesn't mean that once you're going to, once you reorganize your brain, life is 269 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,200 going to be perfect. 270 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,560 We're just talking about the options and our option works because we're going back to what 271 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,640 the brain always needed. 272 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,880 We're going back and setting that neurological foundation. 273 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,920 And we always say, we wish there were like a catalog of things you do to feel better, 274 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,000 to help yourself, to help your brain. 275 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,600 And the only appetizer is brain reorganization. 276 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,880 And then the rest are just up to you. 277 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,520 You can do any modality you want. 278 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,520 We do different modalities ourselves. 279 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,000 We do so many different things, right, to help ourselves be the best version of ourselves. 280 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,160 But we've seen it time and time again with our members and even with ourselves. 281 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,120 Even you can read the story of my brother. 282 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,120 It's on our blog. 283 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680 It's on our website. 284 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,120 We've seen how if you try to do the other modalities with a disorganized brain, usually 285 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,640 parentheses, that means if the brain is disorganized, it's in survival mode. 286 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,640 Okay. 287 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,520 That means it's not regulated. 288 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,280 If you try to do the other things with a disorganized brain, it's just not going to work or it's 289 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,840 going to work for a little bit and then it's not going to work long term. 290 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,200 And so we're all about getting to the root so that we do see lasting change. 291 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,320 And that again, it trucks up to different personalities, right? 292 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Some people are like, no, I'm good, like this way. 293 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,560 Thanks for nothing. 294 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,560 Bye. 295 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,280 But for us, it's about sharing the message that when you do decide to take that leap, 296 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,000 because I do believe, and you and I've talked about this, Danny, that people are getting 297 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,200 into this space where they're really wanting to feel better and really wanting to change. 298 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,920 I think we've said this before, the pandemic really changed the way that everybody looks 299 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,420 at everything. 300 00:17:43,420 --> 00:17:46,880 And we're all kind of like, oh, okay, that's me. 301 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,080 That's the real me, right? 302 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,000 Because if not, you're distracted by school, by work, by your friends, by all the things 303 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,520 you have going on. 304 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040 And we have this moment to kind of like, right? 305 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,040 Like retreat from all of society and people were like, whoa, okay, this is, I get to know 306 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,080 the real me and I will want to be able to show it to the world. 307 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320 That's all those like memes about like, oh, I wish, I wish we had another pandemic so 308 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,520 I had an excuse to never leave the house again, like that kind of stuff. 309 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,520 Because you do feel more comfortable. 310 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,880 It's a safe space for you, right? 311 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,120 And there's just so much that we can do ourselves. 312 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:21,120 And so that's why we're all about not, you know, not looking into the fancy and expensive 313 00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,600 treatments that, that that's not for everyone, right? 314 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,600 Some people can do that. 315 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,440 But again, if you don't get to the root, it's not always going to work 100%. 316 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,840 So we're committed to the growth. 317 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,700 And that's what brain reorganization really does. 318 00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,600 It initiates that journey and it gives you that drive, right? 319 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,960 And in case you're wondering, brain reorganization, our program, and there's some modalities 320 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,680 out there, other programs out there that do the same modality or similar one is getting 321 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:53,120 back to the floor and doing those movements that you might have missed as a baby and looking 322 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,840 at which ones help with which different challenges. 323 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,360 And there's so much research out there about how our brain is meant to develop. 324 00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:06,320 And so going back and doing that at any point in your life is an option because of neuroplasticity. 325 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,120 Neuroplasticity is a reality throughout our entire lives. 326 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:14,520 It decreases, but it doesn't go what you're doing and deciding that is that helping me 327 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,760 or is that hurting me, right? 328 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,320 In the big picture, looking at yourself today and saying, okay, is this helping or is this 329 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,320 harming? 330 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,280 And sometimes you're going to say something and do something. 331 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,440 You're like, well, that's harmful, but I'm going to deal with it later. 332 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,600 And that's okay. 333 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,000 We have that space. 334 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,120 And we have that's, that's why we love doing it online. 335 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:37,160 If you're not able to do it right now, if you're like, this is too much for me, take 336 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,400 a little break, come back to it in a couple of weeks, couple of months, couple of years, 337 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,720 whatever it is, the point is we're putting this out there so that people can learn and 338 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,000 understand that life really can get easier. 339 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,960 And I'm going to share as I've been doing this work for 13 years, Paloma and I just 340 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,240 overhauled the program. 341 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,280 We've committed ourselves to going back and doing it with our members. 342 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,960 We have an accountability group that we are keeping everybody on track and doing our 343 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,160 brain work daily for. 344 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,400 And we're even blowing our own minds with like, whoa, I just noticed all these crazy 345 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,400 changes. 346 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,280 Like I just did, wow, my communication just improved. 347 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,040 I really was able just to let things go. 348 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,320 I noticed that in the past, I would have had this emotional reaction and now I just stayed 349 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,160 calm and I let that person let it out. 350 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,560 I didn't take it personal. 351 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,960 I knew it was their stuff. 352 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,800 My speech got clearer, it was more organized, more efficient, more focused and it's always 353 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,000 after I do my brain work and we're talking no more than 20 minutes a day. 354 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,160 So it's so doable, but it's really something where when you put in the time of doing the 355 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:45,240 20 minutes a day, then all of a sudden you catch yourself not having to go do the things 356 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,840 that you were doing before. 357 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,120 And we all fall into it. 358 00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,840 So there's not any shame attached to it. 359 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,560 It's that here's another option to look at. 360 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,600 Here's a way to say here, I can go take control of my life. 361 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,240 For me, some of the changes that I've noticed are specifically with my perfectionism. 362 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Because I have very, very, you deal with this all the time, Danny, perfectionist tendencies. 363 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,720 And I had already started to let go of it a little bit, but now that I'm restarting the 364 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,160 program, I'm like, whoa, like I'm surprising myself at the way that I'm dealing with things 365 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,280 and not even, it doesn't even cross my mind to like do the perfect thing or like do it, 366 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,160 you know, wait until it's like the specific moment that I wanted to do this perfect planned 367 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,600 out thing, whatever it is. 368 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560 And I honestly hadn't even noticed how much I was doing it. 369 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,120 And then I started not doing it. 370 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,360 And I was like, oh my God, that's huge, because that's a big thing that since a little kid, 371 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,080 I used to, I've always done that. 372 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,640 So I'm really happy to be getting away from that because it did create a sense of like 373 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:49,200 dis, not discomfort, but disappointment in myself when things didn't work out perfectly, 374 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,200 right? 375 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,080 And I wasn't able to set something up perfectly and do it in a certain way. 376 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600 So getting away from that has been huge for me. 377 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,320 And I mean, there's so many different changes that I felt throughout this entire thing, 378 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:05,160 not just now from restarting, but I think something really interesting is to look back 379 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:13,000 at kind of the way that society has evolved in this, in this way that we now want everything 380 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,200 to be instant. 381 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,440 We want it to be faster. 382 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:23,000 We want it to be bigger, faster, stronger, not to quote the song, but we want it to be, 383 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,160 you know, we want, we have these expectations and we keep talking about the expectations 384 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,560 from society in every episode because there just really is such an expectation. 385 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,400 And this is where we see the parents, for example, who are like, oh my God, my kid walked 386 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,400 at eight months. 387 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,400 That's amazing. 388 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,160 And so from that perspective, you're like, that's great. 389 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,520 So they're ahead of everybody. 390 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,440 They're going to be so smart. 391 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,640 They're going to be this and that. 392 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040 But from a neurological perspective, we're like, no. 393 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080 And it's funny because we made a tick talk about that and people were like, well, what 394 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,080 am I supposed to do? 395 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,960 Push my kid down on the floor and I'm like, no, we have different strategies. 396 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,120 And like we said, it's never too late. 397 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,600 So if your baby starts, you can wait for them to walk, do their whole thing. 398 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,880 And then once they're a little bit older, then you start to bring in the crawling, right? 399 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,840 Because you know that that's a milestone that they missed. 400 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,000 And that's kind of like the whole thing is like with, even with the containers, right? 401 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,080 Like it's, it's convenience. 402 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,840 And at the same time, it's reality, right? 403 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,800 A mom or a dad or a caregiver nowadays is going to have work. 404 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,920 They're going to have more than probably more than one can. 405 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,920 They have to clean the house. 406 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,800 They have to go get groceries. 407 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,800 They have to cook. 408 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,120 They have to do so many things. 409 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:33,200 And then the other, you know, parent, however the household works, you have to go off to 410 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320 get make a living or go into your home office to make a living. 411 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,160 Like that does require your attention. 412 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,400 You can't also be hanging out with your kid all the time. 413 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:47,320 So we understand the reason for those things to exist, what we want is to show that they 414 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,880 are hindering certain parts of development and that there's something that we can all 415 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,200 do about it, right? 416 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,680 So that's the whole point of like talking about all of this is we are just so, so, so 417 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,280 go, go, go, go, go as a society. 418 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:06,040 But I will say I have noticed a very large trend all over the, you know, social media 419 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,560 everywhere. 420 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,040 And in people wanting to go back to those roots and truly trying to understand what it is 421 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,840 that they, they do still need and going back to movement, going back to being more intuitive 422 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,760 with who we are and more patient with ourselves. 423 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,560 I think that's another thing we learned from the pandemic is having patients for ourselves, 424 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,480 having grace for who we are and how we show up in the world and saying, okay, this is 425 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,480 me. 426 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,520 Now let me figure out how I can feel better and what I can, what I can do to help myself. 427 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,520 I love that. 428 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,280 It's like the pendulum always swings really hard one way and then it has to swing back 429 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,520 the other way. 430 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,320 So COVID like really got us to swing one way so far out of touch where we like literally 431 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,320 lost touch with everything. 432 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,000 And then we're like, well, let's get back to our roots. 433 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,360 And there's a giant like homesteading movement that everyone's like, let's go buy farms 434 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,360 and like start over. 435 00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,880 Like that was a huge trend going on and it still is. 436 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,800 And so now we're starting to come back to like, but wait, we still want the conveniences 437 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,440 of every like modern day life. 438 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,440 And that's important. 439 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,280 We're not telling you to like never open a whole to screen, never let your kid go watch 440 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,280 a show. 441 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,520 We're just talking about let's look on the emotion you have towards it. 442 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,200 Cause I had a ton of fear of, oh my gosh, if my kids watch that movie, they're doomed, 443 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,200 they're going to be ruined. 444 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,600 They're never going to see life the same. 445 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,840 And I'm not saying go watch rated our movies, but I'm also like, I had to check my emotion 446 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,400 behind it. 447 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:34,560 And that's where I really worked on my fears and became at peace with there's balance to 448 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,560 everything. 449 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,920 You're never going to get the balance perfect, but you can say, Hey, we can do our brainwork. 450 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,080 We can go outside. 451 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,440 We can go do all the things, spend some quality time together. 452 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,240 And then we can watch a movie at the end of the week. 453 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,520 You know, so it's like, and it's not like we're only watching shows or, but if that doesn't 454 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,160 resonate with your family, then don't do that. 455 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,680 You know, or if you're a person who's like, no, this is how I want my kid to be. 456 00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,840 That's fine. 457 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,440 We're not telling you how to parent your kids. 458 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,520 We're telling you this is the way that the brain needs to develop. 459 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,680 And if we skip it now, we're going to see it later. 460 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,120 We're going to see it when they're 20, when they're 30, when they're adults. 461 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,280 And that's our message now is that's what we've always said. 462 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,440 A dysregulated child with an underdeveloped brain goes into the world becomes a dysregulated 463 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,840 adult with an underdeveloped brain. 464 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480 It doesn't just magically, magically come online. 465 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,200 I don't just magically end up not having these symptoms. 466 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,360 They shift and morph and become compensations to how you handle life and you can handle 467 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,960 life forever as long until it comes crashing down on you. 468 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,520 And like, and sometimes it happens sooner for people than others. 469 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,640 And that's that expectation piece. 470 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,600 That's the piece about like how you are expected to go from a child and you have certain, certain 471 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,880 things as a child that you're allowed to do that are maybe signs of a disorganized brain, 472 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,880 right? 473 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,360 But once you get to a certain age, you're supposed to just like automatically always 474 00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,080 operate a certain way. 475 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,880 And that's where some of the compensations really start to fall apart for some people. 476 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,560 And for some people, it's sooner. 477 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,600 And honestly, sometimes we say it's a little bit of a blessing when you do start to notice 478 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,280 those challenges in a kid because you can address it now, right? 479 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,800 Because you can get to the root of it right now, get them to do their brain work now, 480 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,080 and then they won't be, they'll be set up for success later. 481 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,120 And we did our brain work 24 years old. 482 00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:24,800 I mean, it's, you know, and your dad's doing it right now at 77, my dad's 66 and doing 483 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,800 it. 484 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,120 The point is that we want to create that space where you can go back and find what works 485 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:30,280 for you. 486 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,280 For you. 487 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,120 That's something we've gotten away from in this whole instant gratification society 488 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:41,320 is like, we have these standards and it's like, well, let me find out what works in 489 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,600 my life, in my brain. 490 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,600 I don't have kids. 491 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,400 I'm not worrying about that right now. 492 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,400 What about me? 493 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,400 Right? 494 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,400 I'm not even going to balance the brain work, the work, the social life, whatever it might 495 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,760 be, right? 496 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,400 And that's the whole point is it, if you have a disorganized brain, even finding that balance 497 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,760 is going to be really, really hard. 498 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,360 And looking at what we can do as a society to hold more space for people when they're 499 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:11,080 younger, hold that space for them to get, get it done, you know, spend time on the floor, 500 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,080 get that movement in when they are meant to do it. 501 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,680 You can always do it later. 502 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,880 But of course, it's going to be better if they get it done in the beginning of their 503 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,440 lives. 504 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,600 And I would just say, if we could wave a magic wand and get everybody's brains to where 505 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:32,600 they would be ideal, it would be looking at where are you, the person wanting and intending 506 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,440 to bring a new life onto this planet? 507 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,720 Where are you emotionally? 508 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760 Where are you with your life? 509 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,400 How are you feeling with your brain before you bring somebody else on board? 510 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,560 And I thought I did a pretty good job of this before I had my first child. 511 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,720 I did not do any of the emotional work yet. 512 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:56,240 I did all the brain work, but turns out, surprise, you need to do a lot of emotional work on 513 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280 yourself before you bring in kids into the world. 514 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,160 And oftentimes you don't even know what that means until you have kids. 515 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,200 So that's kind of tricky because your kids bring that out in you. 516 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,960 But if we could were, if we were to help this process of society, understanding what's going 517 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,520 on and slowing things down and helping us feel like we don't need to seek validation 518 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,240 to keep up with the pressures of the world, we would love for everyone to do this program 519 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,680 first before they have kids because it helps just to open up your minds to what's going 520 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,760 on with you, what's driving you. 521 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,000 And that does not mean all of a sudden, then parenting is easy. 522 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,800 That does not mean you don't face challenges. 523 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,760 It just
