  • Rewiring Your Brain with Gratitude

    In this episode, we explore the profound impact of gratitude on our lives and how it plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being. But here's the twist: we go beyond the surface-level discussions and dive into a crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed—the connection between gratitude and moving out of "survival mode."

    Many of us find ourselves trapped in the relentless cycle of daily challenges, stress, and never-ending to-do lists. We operate in survival mode, where it can feel almost impossible to pause and reflect on the blessings that surround us. But in this episode, we emphasize that breaking free from survival mode is the key to truly embracing a state of gratitude and appreciation.

  • Flipping the Script on Parenting
    In today's episode, we shine a spotlight on parents and tackle a common concern: the desire to "fix" their children's behavior. At In the Cortex, we receive numerous inquiries from well-meaning parents who are seeking solutions. However, we explain why our approach is not about "fixing kids."Many parents have tried everything – from time-outs and motivation boards to mainstream therapy, parenting courses, drop-off programs, and even medications. It's essential to note that these methods are not inherently ineffective, but they may be missing a crucial first step.We introduce the concept of a "bottom-up" approach, emphasizing the importance of considering the brain's role in behavior. Instead of solely addressing surface-level issues, we encourage parents to understand the underlying neurological and emotional factors that influence their children's actions.
