00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360
Hi and welcome to the In The Cortex podcast. We are your hosts. I'm Paloma Garcia and I am

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,360
Danny Paraconi and we're the founders of In The Cortex, an online community with programs that

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,800
show people the tools that they need to change their lives through brain reorganization. No

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,800
medication, just movement. When you get your brain out of survival mode and regulate your

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,800
nervous system, you start to live in the fun logical part of the brain, the Cortex. Subscribe

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,320
today and learn how to live your best in the Cortex life. And now on to today's episode.

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,160
Welcome back to the In The Cortex podcast. We are happy today to talk about how, why it's okay

8
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,280
to sometimes not be in your Cortex because, well, there's a lot of, we're gonna, we're gonna get into

9
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,680
it. There's a lot of nuance there, but let's start to talk about it a little bit. We also are gonna

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,680
talk a little bit more about our program because lots of people have questions about that and kind

11
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,760
of why, I guess, ultimately the philosophy behind why we've set it up the way we have to be a lifestyle,

12
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,600
not just like a three month situation, right? And I think the first thing that you, I mean,

13
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,360
you and I talk about this all the time, Danny, is like, again, the expectations of society. I say

14
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,360
this every single episode, I will continue to say this every single episode is we have this, this

15
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,920
idea about like how we're supposed to operate and when we start working on ourselves and figuring

16
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,880
out ways to feel better, ways to get to the things that have happened to us, whatever. And we have

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,720
this idea that it always has to be upward, right? Has an upward trend. You always have to be growing

18
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,040
all the time, advancing all the time. And like, there's like a checklist and a checkpoint. And

19
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,440
then when you're done, then you're all set. And that's, do you think that's realistic?

20
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Absolutely not. And you know what, I love that we're having this conversation because when we

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,200
start talking about the world of personal development and bettering yourself and being the best version

22
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,840
of yourself, sometimes I feel like people look at us, maybe this is just my feeling. And they go,

23
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,680
well, why don't you have it all together yet? I'm like, knock, knock, I'm a human like, it's

24
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,080
there, it's a process. Like I'm so much better than I was 14 years ago. And I now have tools

25
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,000
to work through it. But again, we're humans and humans have emotions, humans have the contrast,

26
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,680
the expansion, my favorite thing, the yin and yang, right? You can have the dark without the light,

27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,520
you can have the light without the dark, you have to experience it all, because that's what

28
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,440
we're doing here as humans. So when you embrace the fact that like, you know what, and I tell this

29
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,480
to my kids a lot too, is right now, mom is totally in her ponds. I am ponds and out right now. And

30
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,840
that means my survival brain has come online, it's decided to be the boss for a minute,

31
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,960
and it is taking charge of the situation. And I can feel it, like we all know that feeling of

32
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,720
dysregulation, I'm obviously past the part of being completely checked out, you know, when people

33
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,760
get the dilated pupils and they say things and it's almost like they black out, I don't do that.

34
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Have I done that in the past, probably many, many years ago, where I was like, what just happened,

35
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,400
what did I say and do? But now I can recognize it. And that's why, Pauline was saying it's a lifestyle.

36
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,720
Well, I also think that's going back to like, 2020, I guess, when we started to design this program,

37
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,720
that's why we did it the way we did it. Like, let's give people this solid piece of like the

38
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,840
foundation for the neurological system to kind of get it together, you know what I mean? Like,

39
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,800
to the central nervous system to understand how to regulate and then keep going. And I think

40
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,600
that's why we've decided to give people lifetime access, because at first we were like, oh, no,

41
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,960
it's going to be 12 weeks long. And then we noticed like, well, that's maybe not enough. And sometimes

42
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,600
people need a little bit more and like, you and I are constantly going back. So why are we only

43
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,520
giving people 12 weeks? Remember, like, we went back and forth about this so much. And it's like,

44
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,160
no, let's leave it as lifetime access for everybody, because these are tools that

45
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,400
everybody in the program who really has done it will tell you they'll come back to it. We have

46
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,440
people that started with us literally in 2020, like summer of 2020, we launched, we're still

47
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,080
coming to office hours, and we're still doing the program. And we are so grateful for them,

48
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,120
because they truly have really taken it on and made it a part of their lives. And that's also

49
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,200
another piece of the program that I think is important in this whole, it's okay, right? Situation

50
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,720
is we have it set up in a way that fits into your life, however you want it to fit. And that's

51
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,360
something that I haven't seen in many other similar programs, at least the ones that do, I know,

52
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,640
like brain work and primitive reflexes and that kind of stuff. It's very much like, you need to

53
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:44,880
drop everything and move to a different place for, you know, a period of time and do this intensive

54
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,040
thing. And that's not always the issue with that is that that's not always going to be there, right?

55
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,280
If you don't have a professional guiding you through the whole thing every single day in your

56
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,960
house, right? So how do you make it fit into you? And that's not to say that we don't appreciate the

57
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,760
fact that in person, of course, you're going to get a lot more like hands on experience and stuff.

58
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,720
But this is ultimately the point of this is to get people to be able to do it at home whenever

59
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,240
they need it. And so after you have that solid foundation of the 12 modules, they're not weeks

60
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,040
anymore. They're 12 modules now. We suggest you do at least one week per module. You can do more

61
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,880
lots of people stay on a module for a few weeks. And after that is when it really comes in handy

62
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,560
because you get to go back and be like, Oh, what was that exercise that I really loved? And as your

63
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,760
brain continues to develop and can you're regularly you're ready, relating your nervous system more,

64
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,360
you process things so differently. Like this has happened to you and me when we go back even

65
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,960
to things we've done like a year ago, we're like, What were we thinking? Why did we write that word?

66
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,320
It's right, I guess, like that's kind of like one of the biggest pieces of it is like we really

67
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,880
do want it to be something that's in your life and it just becomes a part of who you are because

68
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,600
it's a part of who we are. And honestly, we have so we've the process since 2020, we've overhauled

69
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,880
the program changed how we've shown it to the world in so many different it's evolved so much.

70
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,640
And at the same time, Plum and I at this last revamp that we did a few months ago, we're like,

71
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,120
Okay, let's commit to it. We're asking all of our members to do it. Let's do it the exact same way.

72
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Yep. And because before and this goes back to when we first learned all this stuff many years ago,

73
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,560
we had the impression that you're supposed to just do it for a finite amount of time and then you

74
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,520
would be done and everything was fine because in an ideal world, right? A baby goes through these

75
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,560
developmental milestones. And then their brain's like, cool, I got it, I don't need to do it anymore.

76
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,960
And then it's set for life. But the issue with that is that we're not living the same life anymore.

77
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,920
If you go back a few episodes, we dive deep into that topic of how different our world is today.

78
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,040
So that's when Paloma and I were like, wait, we need to be committed to doing this daily because

79
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:04,720
it's like any daily practice, it requires constant tending to exactly once we went, we're now on module

80
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:11,520
five of level two, which is about doing it for 10 weeks now. And it's incredible. It's taken me to

81
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:18,000
another level in all of my life stuff. It's taken me to the place of actually having the gas to get

82
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,960
through an entire day with my two young kids and keeping myself regulated and managing all the

83
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,520
things I have. So I was like, okay, this really works. So when we talk about what we do, a lot of

84
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,840
times people are like, wait, what? They don't get it. And it takes so long to educate what is even

85
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,000
brain reorganization. But let's say you already know what it all is now at this point. And now

86
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,360
you're like, well, what does the program look like? Like what does this daily life look like?

87
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,600
And so we like to give you a little heads up of what does it look like when you sign up,

88
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,560
you get an email, you go into your login, and then we have it listed out where you go through our

89
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320
intro part of the course, we're teaching you about the brain, you're learning about the vestibular

90
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,720
system, the propriocept, all the sensory systems, you're learning about the brain functions, the

91
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,800
reflexes. And then we take you through all these other fun things and we have you get totally prepped

92
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,440
and ready. So you know exactly what to do when you get home and you're ready to start the process.

93
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,360
And then each module we have listed out gives you the overview, what exercises you're doing. So

94
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,400
you're watching videos, you're recreating the videos at home, you're doing journaling prompts,

95
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,640
if that floats your boat, if you're in then you're doing assignments. And then you're also

96
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,880
interacting with us because we're asking you to submit videos. So then you're sending us videos

97
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,640
of what you're doing at home, we're giving you feedback. So you're not just like doing this and

98
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,400
not you have no support. Community for us is so important because we all know healing as a community

99
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:48,080
is just so much more powerful. So we have you submit your videos and then we are so accessible,

100
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,080
because we are so passionate about changing your brain that we're almost like too accessible sometimes

101
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,280
because we're just obsessed with talking about this. And so then we have office hours, and then

102
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,080
you bring your questions there. And then there's another group of people who are also going through

103
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680
the same thing. And then we have the Facebook group and we have an accountability group,

104
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,200
which has been really taking off lately. Yeah, that was been popping off lately.

105
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,320
It's amazing. Everyone just says, Hey, did my brain record it in for the day? Because it's just

106
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,800
that a little extra dopamine hit of like, Yeah, cool, I'm doing this and I'm in a group working

107
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:27,440
towards something better and greater. So it's honestly, I get my brainwork done in 20 minutes.

108
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:34,320
Yeah, or less. And I'm doing this with my kids too. And that 20 minute time that I just took

109
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,520
when people say, Oh, I don't have the time, I don't have the time to do this. But and we also

110
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,280
are talking about it's okay to not be in your cortex. But at the same time, my like moments of

111
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,640
not being in my cortex are so much shorter. And they don't have nearly as much of an exhausting

112
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,960
impact as they used to be. When I used to go into my ponds, I used to take hours, weeks.

113
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,200
Oh, totally. That's something that most of our members, I somebody talked about on one of the

114
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:08,400
cortex moments, a couple of episodes ago, like, it's, it just your baseline is just so different.

115
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:14,560
Right. And so, and it depends on its little things sometimes, but it's also just, you really do feel

116
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,400
the difference between when you do it and when you don't, I just noticed that because I took a break

117
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:25,440
for like five days, maybe when my friends were here for the wedding. And I couldn't tell and I

118
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,920
kept being like, why can't I know my biggest thing is being disconnected from my body, right?

119
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,720
And so not really understanding the signals, not really feeling the differences. And I was like,

120
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,240
huh, I don't really feel that big of a difference when I don't do it. And then I did it. And I was

121
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,240
like, bro, like, everything, like just everything, like the way that I was processing everything

122
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,960
was through a positive filter rather than a negative one. And I don't notice, like, I think in general,

123
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,000
I'm a very like upbeat positive person, but I don't notice that I do have a lot of like ways of being

124
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,600
like, you know, like getting annoyed by little things or reading into something and that kind of

125
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,200
stuff that is definitely my brain, right? And disconnecting from my body again, like being

126
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,800
able to understand more of like my body signals. I know it sounds like it's not a big deal, but it

127
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,560
is. It is like truly being like, oh, I am, am I hungry right now? Or am I just bored? Like that

128
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:22,640
kind of stuff or being able to just have an interaction that I know would have annoyed me

129
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:29,760
a couple of days ago because of that, I think is just a huge thing. And so that's my biggest

130
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:36,320
also reason is it's really easy to fall off like it is from everything, you know? And it's like

131
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,400
going to the gym, like meditating, like any practice that people do to feel better, to improve their

132
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,800
body, their mind, whatever it might be. It's so easy to fall off. And then when you're off,

133
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,840
your brain doesn't remember, doesn't care about what it was like to be on. It's gonna be like,

134
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,360
you're good, you're fine, literally forget about it. Like, creepy and crawling. What's that? Bye.

135
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Like, and it's so easy to go into that, that place. And so that's why we're saying like, it's okay,

136
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,800
we're there all the time, maybe not all the time, but we go there often where we're like,

137
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,360
I didn't do my brain work for however long, you know, and it's not the end of the world.

138
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:17,360
And I think that's also a bigger piece of it is that you and I are very honest, I think with

139
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,760
our members, like they have our phone numbers, they can text us and ask us questions. And we're

140
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,680
always like, totally 100% honest of like what's going on in our lives. And being true that this

141
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:35,920
stuff is nothing is ever going to be your one stop shop. You know what I mean? But this can get you

142
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,480
closer to that. Oh yeah. And when you say fall off of just doing it, it's funny because I made a

143
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,680
commitment to doing it and I've only missed in these like past 10 weeks, I've missed maybe four

144
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:54,400
or five days total. And I've never been that committed to really anything lately in my life

145
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,080
of like, no, I've got to keep going because the time I would spend on my emotional dysregulation

146
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,320
because mine was emotional dysregulation. I almost disconnect from everybody. I'm emotional. I am

147
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:11,120
the most emotional person. The really old girl. My daughter just like, okay, this is exhausting.

148
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:21,120
So for me, when I spend, how much time was I spending dysregulated was so much more time

149
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,360
than that 20 minutes a day commitment. And so when people say they don't have the time, I'm

150
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,280
always like, well, what are you spending your time on? And that's the thing that we help you with in

151
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:35,040
our program too. We bring in journaling questions that help you go deeper into what is that life you

152
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:43,200
want to live? And then how do you get there? And it's something for me that and we fall off of it

153
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,600
because when you start to do your brain work, the changes are so subtle. It's the you that has always

154
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,400
meant to be here because it's the real you. We always say it's the real you without your reflexes

155
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,960
coming in and interrupting things or without your lower brain coming online and constantly

156
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:05,920
putting you into survival mode or dysregulation. And that real you is like, oh, life is easier.

157
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,080
Okay, cool. It's like all of a sudden when you've attained that body that you've been working so

158
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,520
hard on, you're like, okay, now I can go have a million cheat days. And then all of a sudden,

159
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:19,200
you're like, Oh, what happened? I fell off. I don't feel as good anymore. And it takes a bit of time

160
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,800
to get back into that groove. So for me, I just planted in my head, this is what I need to do

161
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:31,600
for the rest of my life. So I can just be a happier, more balanced person. Exactly. I have

162
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,080
so many stressors in my life. Again, that's probably more my subconscious stuff of like,

163
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,560
why do I have so many things on my plate constantly? Well, you're a mom, though. Right.

164
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,280
That's the reality. That's the reality. Yeah, but then I'm talking about always adding more things

165
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,440
like adopting a horse when I know nothing about horses. Like, what was that? Anyways,

166
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,760
we've worked through that stuff now, we're not pulling on things. And I'm learning my boundaries,

167
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:02,560
which is great. Again, from having my brain at a survival mode, I'm not in that people pleasing

168
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,720
state anymore. And now I'm like, you know what? No, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm maxed out.

169
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:13,520
There is so much more time you can spend on the things that you love when you are not spending

170
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,520
it on the things when you're dysregulated. But again, it's okay that you have moments,

171
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:25,360
that you fall apart, you become an emotional mess, you forget about your body being connected to you,

172
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,520
and you have a bad day because you need to have them to give you perspective and to help you see,

173
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,480
hey, now I don't want to be here anymore. This is what I do to get out of it. And that turnaround

174
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:43,360
time is so fast. When you do it. And it's also just a part of life. There's always going to be stuff.

175
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,600
And going back to what you were saying earlier about when we learned this, it was like, okay,

176
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,360
you just have to do this amount of hours, and then you're done forever. And I remember

177
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,520
you and I kind of grew in this way together because we were like, no.

178
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Are you sure? Because I've done a lot of hours and it's life is still happening. So this is

179
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,720
interesting. Then I think honestly, when a lot of this stuff was researched in the 50s,

180
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,040
maybe that was true. Maybe they really did only need to do a certain amount of hours.

181
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:17,280
But we have so much stuff going on nowadays. Like, hello, we're staring at a screen eight hours a day,

182
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,920
most of us, lots of us, when then we're starting a smaller screen later when we're at home. And

183
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,000
there's just so much stuff that's going on. There's so many different toxins in our food.

184
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,400
And just, we're not even going to get into it because we talked about that in that other episode.

185
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,680
But there's just so much stuff that's overwhelming our system, and it's not prepared to deal with it.

186
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,160
And I think that's why this stuff is truly so powerful because it literally takes,

187
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,760
like you said, 20 minutes, but also sometimes I'll do less. I can decide sometimes, I'm just

188
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960
going to do five minutes right now that I'm going to go on the computer on the call of Danny,

189
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,640
then later I'm going to do my patterns, which are the movements to integrate the primitive reflexes.

190
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,800
And then in the evening, I'm going to do a little bit of crawling, or creeping,

191
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,240
crawling however. And that just makes my day move faster. It makes it so that I'm not on the

192
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,600
computer all day. And I know I'm doing something when I'm moving and know I'm doing something for

193
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:11,600
my brain, then it makes me feel just that huge difference in the regulation. And like you said,

194
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,960
the other day on the group, I didn't have time to do everything, but I did creeping and this one

195
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,240
thing. So it's great. So it's also, it's so flexible. And once you get to know the exercise,

196
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,440
you really know which ones resonate most with your brain, right? And like what you're feeling,

197
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,160
I don't know what changes in the moment. Some of them you can even do when you're in the moment,

198
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,160
when you're starting to feel that dysregulation, right? Which I think is more, it's more common,

199
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,400
I think for people to feel the dysregulation, you feel where you're like, I'm anxious, or I'm,

200
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,000
I'm having this like huge emotional reaction to something. And there are a few exercises in

201
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,040
the program that you can do like that, wherever you are, and it'll help you, your central nervous

202
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,000
system be like, okay, I can calm down, I can process this in a more logical way. And we haven't

203
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,080
even talked about the brain breaks, we have a whole section of brain breaks that are quick

204
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,160
movements that you can do, they're all brain gym movements that help you with different parts of

205
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,680
the way that you're processing things, maybe if you're preparing to, to read something, if you

206
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,000
want to listen better, if you want to feel more focused, more energized, and that's a whole other

207
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,400
piece that you can also use kind of sporadically as well. Totally. And the best part is, is my

208
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,760
four year old can do it alongside me, my dad who's in his later seventies can do it. And it's,

209
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,440
it's really catering to the person who really wants change to happen in their life without

210
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,280
having to think their way through it. And so many times when we share what we do, people always come

211
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,720
to like, Oh, but I'm okay though, right? Like, and I think there's such a stigma with helping your

212
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,600
brain that everyone just assumes that if they participate in our program that there's something

213
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,440
wrong with them, we have people who sign up with our program that have a proper diagnosis. Some

214
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,400
people who've self diagnosed, we have people who are just like, you know, life is just harder than

215
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,560
it needs to be. Or some people are like, I don't know, I don't think anything's really like that

216
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,760
hard in my life, but why not try this and see what happens? Yes. And so that's why this program is

217
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,960
great because every single one of those people are going to experience a change. And, but then at

218
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:18,080
the same time, it's okay if you are along the journey like Paloma said, and you're like a die

219
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,720
hard person like me who really want to change immediately to happen because my life was just

220
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:29,200
so incredibly hard. And I committed so much time and effort in the beginning to just getting

221
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,760
through the first movements. And I remember the first few weeks of brain organization just being

222
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:41,440
so hard. Yeah, I was challenged beyond belief, like it was, and this isn't to scare anybody,

223
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,800
this is just to share that my life was hard, and those movements were really hard and that

224
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,440
matches and it will always match. So if you get on the floor, don't forget tag us, remember tag

225
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,200
us in your video so we can go ahead and give you a quick little assessment. And if you're

226
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,800
listening to this, you're like, I don't understand how hard can this really be, trust us. If your

227
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,560
brain is not primed and wired for this, then it will be challenging for you. But that'll also

228
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,920
match what your day looks like. And the other thing you don't know, just like Paloma said,

229
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,560
you don't know that you have these things happening until they're gone. Yep. And she

230
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,560
experienced it the reverse way. So she was just going about her day and then she brought the

231
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,880
movements back and was like, Oh, wow, that did help me get the test feel different. Yeah. Yeah. And so

232
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,240
that is the first few weeks, you're going a lot of changes people experience are

233
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:34,240
increase in appetite, increase in feeling wanting to sleep more. Maybe you go through the regression

234
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,800
process. And we've talked about this before where if you're organizing a closet, everything has to

235
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,040
come out, right? It's the same thing for your brain. If you're organizing your brain, everything

236
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,400
comes out before it can go back and organize. And not everything, but a lot of the behaviors

237
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,520
you're experiencing in your day to day life. Let's say if you're a child who's having a

238
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,480
challenge with potty training, you might see that increase and get harder in the beginning.

239
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,000
If you're already a person who's impatient, the regression process might make you feel more impatient.

240
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,200
It's all things that are already within you that just get intensified. And sometimes people go,

241
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,240
is this regression? We're like, yep, celebrate. And they're like, I don't celebrate feeling worse

242
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240
in the beginning. It's like, well, that's the process. Things have to get a little bit worse

243
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,080
before they can get better. So when you are wanting to take this program on, just know, in the beginning,

244
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,800
it might be a little challenging. But once you push through that, then you're through it. You

245
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,040
don't have to experience the wedding the better anymore. You don't have to experience the impatience

246
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,200
that you're experiencing every day. And when you do experience it, you have something to do about it.

247
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:47,920
Exactly. You have the tools. I was honestly having a rough day, I would say last weekend. And I was

248
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,160
editing our own podcast. And I was listening to the words that we were speaking. And I was like,

249
00:21:52,160 --> 00:22:00,160
wow, these are great reminders that it's okay to feel kind of yucky. And I think I would have sat

250
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,400
in my misery for longer in the past. I know I would have. And then I would have tried to enroll

251
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:14,320
a bunch of people into my misery with me. Right. Sorry, Sam, I enroll you often. And I'll work on

252
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,800
that. That's my fiance. He gets a lot of the things going on with me. But that's a partnership,

253
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:25,920
right? But I also noticed just like, okay, I have these tools, I can get myself through this yucky

254
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,680
feeling. So while I was listening to the podcast, I was like, you know what, I'm going to listen to

255
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,440
the podcast and do my brain work. And that's an amazing way to get your brain back on track.

256
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,160
And just embrace like, it's okay. I was telling people, it's okay that I was feeling emotional,

257
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,960
like I'm finally at peace with that. Yeah. And I think it's also like this whole like,

258
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,840
it's okay to not be in your cortex. I think the other piece of it that I wanted to touch is like,

259
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,200
it's okay to have certain challenges. It's okay for everything not to be super easy for you. It's

260
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,600
okay to be somebody who maybe has a little bit of a harder time with certain tasks. Maybe you're

261
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:07,520
somebody who isn't great at certain things. And you know, maybe you're not super sporty, maybe

262
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,680
you're not super, what's it called? Like academically oriented, right? That whatever it is, that's

263
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,320
totally fine. And it's also, once again, there's nothing wrong with you. It's just things can get

264
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,520
a lot easier. And so I think a lot of the time when we post things on Instagram or on TikTok,

265
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,520
people will say, oh, that's me, like what's wrong with my brain? And it's like, it's,

266
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,680
there's nothing wrong with your brain. It's just figuring out what to do, right? And these are just

267
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,880
signs of something that's inside your brain. But if songs get stuck in your head, there's nothing

268
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,240
wrong with you. It's what's, what's annoying is when they get stuck for days and days and days,

269
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,520
and you can't think of anything except for the song. Like you were just asking about the song

270
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,760
that I was singing on right now. I didn't even notice it. Like it's just something that my brain

271
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,840
does. And I've been doing all the brain work and it's just something that it does, but it doesn't

272
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,360
become like the most annoying thing in the world where it used to where I'd be like, oh my God,

273
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:04,880
I cannot sing this song again. And two seconds later, I'd be like singing the same thing. And so it

274
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,480
was genuinely impacting my life. I would get so angry because then I would have the song again,

275
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,840
I would get so angry. I would stop like wanting, I would berate myself for like, why does this

276
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,480
happen to me? It's so like silly, but it's so annoying. And then I would go into this kind of

277
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,080
like sensory thing where I'm like, I just, I need to listen to the song again, or I need to not

278
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,720
listen to anything, or I need to go, you know, step away from people or whatever it is. And

279
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,800
I don't need to do that anymore. I'm like, okay, well it's there. It's not the end of the world.

280
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:39,840
And it doesn't create that whole like, you know, bubble of like, you know, and it's part of my

281
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,960
brain. Like that's it. And the part that's so fun about that is that since I do my brain work too,

282
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:52,080
I can just like, what are you doing versus me? Oh my gosh, she sings that song one more time.

283
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Like, in the past, I would have totally noticed myself just getting annoyed with the person who

284
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:04,800
couldn't stop singing the song. And that happens so many times in families of one profile triggering

285
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,800
the other profile and by profile, they mean brain profile. So like, for example, say that there's a

286
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,400
person who's really sensory seeking and they just need to touch, touch, touch, like that's my son,

287
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,840
he just wants to touch everything and everyone all the time. And then I get overstimulated

288
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,360
and get touched out. I know a lot of moms can relate to that feeling where you're just like,

289
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,920
oh my gosh, I need my body back stop touching me. But for brain work, I would just like,

290
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,520
it would come to that point of like, you're, you're like, ignore, ignore, ignore. And then it got

291
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,840
to the point where you couldn't and you can't ignore it anymore. You explode. And now I can just

292
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,560
like gently grab his hands and be like, do you need a hug? Like, do you need like, what does your

293
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:48,400
sensory system need? So now we can just coexist with our needs, right? And we're getting met in a

294
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:54,080
healthy way. That's the key. Getting your need met in a healthy way. It's okay if you get

295
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,040
song stuck in your head. It's okay if you need to move around a lot when you're learning something

296
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,680
new. It's okay if you feel a little frustrated and traffic, but what can you do about it? What's

297
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,680
the right way or what's the way to get the need met? Right? And that's where we come in. And

298
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,440
that's where in the cortex is that lifestyle of recognizing having the awareness. This is how

299
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:19,120
I'm feeling. This is what my system is wanting and needing. How do I get that need met? And so

300
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:24,000
much of society does not know how to get a need met because there's no awareness to it. Right?

301
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,640
And then we just try to ignore it and then we just push it off. So kids are displaying these signs

302
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,840
very early on. Well, we look at, yeah, then we look at the symptoms. We don't always look at the

303
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,680
causes, right? For people's behaviors and forgetting these needs met. We don't always know what it

304
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,680
really means. Like you said, kids don't have, a lot of the time kids haven't figured out their

305
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,720
compensations yet. They haven't figured out their coping mechanisms. So it's very, it's more obvious

306
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,040
in them that it is in adults, but we say this all the time, a kid with a disorganized brain becomes

307
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,080
an adult with a disorganized brain unless it's addressed. When our kids are showing these behaviors

308
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,680
of trying to get needs met and we ignore them and then we start to label them of whatever, because

309
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:07,760
remember society has such big expectations for us. Yes, it does. And so then we start to, that's when

310
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,960
all that subconscious comes in and there's something wrong with me and I went around my whole life

311
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,800
thinking something's wrong with me because I had such big emotions and I honestly feel like I'm

312
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,640
now standing in that space of like, I am emotional. That's fine. I am an emotional person. I wear my

313
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,360
heart on my sleeve. I will not be able to walk in a room and hide who I am and I will be honest

314
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:31,680
with anybody who asks me what's going on. I'm not great and so many people now who know me.

315
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,000
I'm pretty bubbly and then all of a sudden I'm like, oh, your, your energy's low and they're

316
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,080
like, are you okay? And I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm dealing with a lot of things right now and it's

317
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,640
hard and that's okay too. Yeah. So, and then I never want someone to think that, you know,

318
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,960
we're being the victim here because then we do have the tools to empower ourselves to get through

319
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,720
it. And so it's just like, okay, I'm going to switch this pattern up. I'm going to do this

320
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:59,760
differently. And that's our hope for everyone is to be at peace with who you are, embrace all of

321
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,200
you, your authentic version, and then know that there's something you can do to help shift it,

322
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:12,640
come out of it and be even better. And it's never ending. It sounds exhausting sometimes. There are

323
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,320
times when I'm like, why, but then that is such a fleeting moment because the what's wrong with me

324
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:23,360
moment was so much longer and louder and more annoying than anything. And now this moment of

325
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:27,520
like, okay, I'm a little bit tired having to constantly look at myself and be like,

326
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,200
what can I do differently? Oh, totally. There's like so many like

327
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:37,040
tic-tacs about this. Like when did like, why I get it? Like, why do I have to keep always looking

328
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,520
at? And that's also another part of like, why we want to do this episode is like, sometimes it's

329
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,720
okay to just vent and be like, I'm annoyed about this thing. And I don't have to turn every single

330
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,200
moment into a growth moment. If I don't feel like it, sometimes I'm just going to be annoyed. And

331
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,800
then I'm going to get over it. I'm going to go crawl it out. And that's fine. And sometimes I'm

332
00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,080
going to look at something and say, Hey, this has a deeper message for me. What's going on, right?

333
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,800
And that's another thing. Cause I feel like also there's this moment of like, or like, I think

334
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,080
out there right now in the whole, you know, like you were saying this world of self-improvement

335
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,720
and all this stuff, every single thing that happens is like, what's my block? Like, what's

336
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,840
going on? Like, what am I, what's, what's, what's, what does this mean about me? Like, why did I

337
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,920
choose chocolate instead of vanilla ice cream? Like, what's going on? Like, no, sometimes it's

338
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,960
okay. And you're just going to do something that not everything means something. And even if it

339
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,720
does mean something, you're not always ready to deal with it. And that's literally fine. I have had

340
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,960
so many reconnects and which is our process for, for working on our subconscious beliefs.

341
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,040
I have had so many that I literally avoided you watched me avoid them for years. And then one

342
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,040
day I did them. I'm like, Oh, I do feel a lot better. And that's great, but I just wasn't ready.

343
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,960
And so giving ourselves that grace and giving also ourselves that moment to like zoom out and be able

344
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:02,080
to be able to zoom out and say, Hey, life is to be lived, not to be suffering from all this stuff,

345
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,600
not to be feeling powerless, not to be feeling like you're, you're tied up in all the small

346
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:13,440
things that happen in your day to day, let's really show up, like you said, in our most authentic way

347
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,800
whenever we can and as much as we can. And when we're prepared to, and that's something we're

348
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:22,400
also going to talk about next in the next episode. Yes. I love that. I think that's our mission

349
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:28,480
statement is just being okay with who you are right now, knowing that there are things you can

350
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:35,360
do to help shift, make life easier. You are not your behaviors that you don't love about yourself.

351
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:41,520
And it's never too late. It's never too late. I think so many people think, Oh, well, yeah,

352
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,960
I'm just too, that's me. That's how I am. I'm just too set in my ways. However old they are, even

353
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,880
though with people that are our age or younger, they're like, Nope, that's just the way I am. And

354
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,760
so that's the biggest, one of the biggest things too is like you can do it at any age. It's never

355
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,840
too late. I just had a thought and it left me and then I drew my lazy eight and it came back.

356
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,960
It's right. Watch her do it. Yes. Yes. So it's when you just take your finger and draw the infinity

357
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,680
sign in the air, start in the middle, go up to the left. It's a beautiful way to bring left and

358
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,680
right brain together and help your brain just go, Oh yeah, there's that thought of it retrieves

359
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,920
information for you. So try it the next time you have something stuck on the tibia tongue.

360
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,600
But what I was going to say is the self-help industry, whatever you want to call it, personal

361
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:32,320
development, whatever it is, it's very big into the concept of just surrender and let it go.

362
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Every book we read Paloma, because we have a book club, check it out. If you want to come read with

363
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:43,920
us. The biggest message that everything gives you is being able to surrender and just get

364
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:51,120
perspective, right? Zoom out and just be grateful for everything you have. And honestly, now that

365
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,960
that's what I hear for every, and that's not every, I mean, there's obviously a lot of nuances and

366
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,000
there's a really cool stuff in there that you can read with these books, but I'm just,

367
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Oh, we love them. I mean, that's why we're reading them. Yeah. Exactly. But the biggest message that

368
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:11,360
they all want to share with the world is just surrender, just let go, get perspective, perspective

369
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:17,440
meaning zoom out, being able to see like everything that is working for you. And Paloma and I will

370
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,360
scream this from the rooftops. You cannot do that in survival mode. You cannot do that when

371
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,400
you're dysregulated. And that's why we love what we do so much is because we actually have gain

372
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,120
perspective. Like just today, we're on this gratitude kick. Like, what are we doing? We have

373
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:37,840
so much to be grateful for. And, but we can also be in the contrast of it and feel like, Oh my

374
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,520
gosh, my life isn't where I want it to be. And then snap out of that and step step into gratitude.

375
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,320
And it's a lot of that. It's the ebbing. It's the flowing. It's the back and the fourth and just,

376
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:55,200
I think my piece now is that knowing, yeah, I'm sad right now. Yeah, I'm frustrated right now.

377
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,400
But then here's what I'm going to do to shift out of it. And that flexibility comes. Yeah. And

378
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,840
that flexibility only comes when you have a regulated nervous system, integrated primitive

379
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,920
reflexes. Because otherwise that stuff is going to get in your way. And that's going to give you

380
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:15,920
tunnel vision. And it's not going to help you. It's not going to permit you to look at the bigger

381
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,520
picture. And that's ultimately what it is. Because think about it from an animal perspective.

382
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,640
I'm surviving. I need to focus on only what's in front of me. No distractions because I need to get

383
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,400
out of this moment. We know that survival doesn't look the way it does for an animal in the jungle

384
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,800
for us. But our brain doesn't always know that, you know, our brains are really smart. But sometimes

385
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,440
they just need a little help. And so that's, you know, that's a lot of what we're going to talk

386
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,880
about next week is like, what does that even look like? Right? Getting out of survival. And how do

387
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:48,080
we truly embrace gratitude when we are in this dysregulated moment? And how do we get to the

388
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:54,720
regulation so we can actually do all these amazing things that we want to do? Right. And well, that's

389
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,840
yeah. What I was going to say, if someone says, oh, just be grateful for what you have and you're in

390
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:06,240
that space of dysregulation, that's like that toxic positivity that people around and you're like,

391
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:12,480
I can't, I can't get out of this. And when people say, oh, just count to 10 or go for a walk, those

392
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:18,160
are great things, but they're not getting to that root of really unlocking you from that lock state

393
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:23,440
of mind. And that's where I was for so many years of my life as I was just like, how do people have

394
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,160
that flexibility with their mind to be able to say, I'm sad right now, and I know what I can get out

395
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,240
of it. Like I would just be like, I'm sad. I think I'm sad for the rest of my life. And then I would

396
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:37,520
sink into depression and be like, wait, is there a way out? And so that's what brain work has done

397
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,280
for me. And that's what our community does. So when you decide that you're finally ready to start

398
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,320
changing the way your life is and how you're showing up in the world, and you're like, I've been

399
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,760
working way harder than they need to, we're here for you. That's what our community does. We support

400
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,080
each other, we build each other up. We also talk about the things that are hard, we help each other

401
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:04,080
see a different way of looking at a situation. And we honestly offer it at an unbelievable price.

402
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,280
And I don't want to sound like we're, you know, pumping our own or tooting our own horn, I should

403
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:16,320
say. We are to do like, amazing. We, we have figured out how to make it so we can operate at the

404
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,480
level we are and giving the quality of information and help and support at a price that you can

405
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,960
afford. All you have to do is like, just like not go to Starbucks for like a week and you would be

406
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:33,440
able to pay for our program. It's $37 a month for 12 months. And then once you've finished those

407
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:40,000
payments, you have access, you are now locked into our community and you have us at your disposal

408
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,200
coming to office hours for life. You get to email, we stay connected to our members. We love doing

409
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:50,320
it because we want to encourage more of this world to be in their cortex. And then we support you

410
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,720
when you're not there too. So because we're all going in and out of that. Exactly. We are going

411
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:58,960
to be raising our prices next year. So we want to put that out there that right now is the time.

412
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,560
If you want to get in on this, it's now because you don't have to start the program right now.

413
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:10,960
But what better way to shift your life than starting to reorganize your brain and 2024 is

414
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,760
like around the corner. Exactly. Get it, get it going now and set yourself up and give the best

415
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,600
gift in the world, which is an organized brain to your loved ones, you know? That, I mean, one of

416
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,160
our, one of our members just told us because we never know where people find us all the time.

417
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,480
And she's like, you know how I found you guys? I found your program and I was like,

418
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,760
oh, it's a little bit expensive for my budget right now. And she asked her parents to give it to her.

419
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,800
And she said it is one of my most favorite gifts I've ever received because it's a gift that just

420
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,000
keeps giving. We love our member. I don't know if you can tell, but we are obsessed with them. And

421
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,440
also like honestly, the whole point of doing this like in the way that we do it and out of

422
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,960
this clinical setting where it's usually done is we are human and we're here talking and we

423
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,880
really take it with as much levity as possible because that's, you know,

424
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,800
Gabor Maté talks about that, right? Like when you're recreating your, your things that have

425
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:11,200
happened to you, your recreation, it's also, you know, recreation is also play and hanging out and

426
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,440
being, you know, having fun and looking at the light side of things. And that's what kids do. And

427
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,880
this is, I mean, this is a lot of what he says in his book is latest book is we have to give it

428
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:28,800
that side of that levity and that playfulness and that, that other side of it, right? The lightness

429
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,320
to the dark, you know, with the stuff that has happened to us and the stuff that we've been

430
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,320
through and the stuff that our brain and nervous system are going through currently. We have to

431
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:42,560
give it that levity because if not, we get tied up too much in the difficulties and the not so

432
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,560
fun parts. And so I think that's also something we love to do with our members. It's just like

433
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,800
be silly and like the group check gets rowdy sometimes. It's really funny. My dad always

434
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:57,520
sends some weird things, but hey, boomers, Mexican boomers, am I right? But okay, so let's see, let's

435
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:03,440
wrap it up. I'm telling you one day, let's say, let's say in the next episode, I just stare at

436
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,560
