We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast. In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Danielle Perrecone and Paloma Garcia, international brain coaches and co‑founders of In The Cortex (ITC). Together, they unpack how early movements like creeping and crawling shape the primitive brain, why unresolved primitive reflexes drive lifelong dysregulation, and how neuroplasticity lets us reorganize the brain at any age. They also dive into subconscious belief reprogramming, the creation of a movement‑based micro‑school model, and practical tools that parents can use to raise regulated, resilient, truly free children.   Highlights: "The brain can change at any age. There is no missed window, only a new opportunity."   "Most of us don't have a broken brain, we have a disorganized brain."   "You can have the most organized brain in the world, but if your subconscious beliefs are holding you back, you'll keep getting triggered."   "The goal isn't to be regulated all the time; the goal is to know how to come back to regulation."   Timestamps: 01:42 – Introduction 04:56 – What Is In The Cortex and Why Your Brain Feels "Stuck" 07:00 – Babies' Movements as the Blueprint for the Primitive Brain 08:00 – The Epidemic of Neurodevelopmental Challenges 11:19 – Neuroplasticity Explained in Real‑Life Terms 16:37 – Primitive Reflexes 101: Survival, Safety, and Dormancy 23:51 – Inside the ITC Program: Structure, Movements, and practices 29:53 – Reconnects and Making Belief Change Practical for Families 32:28 – The Birth of the In The Cortex Micro‑School 40:47 – Vision for Global Micro‑Schools and Community‑Based Regulation   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom    Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc   Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/   About Danielle and Paloma Paloma García Cruz Paloma García is a founding brain coach at In The Cortex.
