Behavior Bitches

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Liat brings on her mom, Melanie, for a raw convo about raising Liat’s brother who has autism and intellectual disabilities. They cover everything from public behavior incidents and Chuck E. Cheese trauma to marriage strain, group home fears, and the chaos of parenting before insurance-covered ABA and Facebook support groups even existed.

Melanie opens up about the lifelong commitment and all the emotions that come with raising a child with ASD, and why he's been one of the greatest blessings of her life. This one will make you laugh, cry, call your mom, and maybe start filling out Medicaid waiver paperwork immediately.

Author and disability advocate Jessica Slice joins us to talk about chronic illness, perfectionism, parenting with a disability, and why she refuses to let anyone else write her narrative. Jessica shares her journey becoming a wheelchair user and mother, and why becoming disabled made her a better parent, not an unfit one.

We get into the legal reality that in 22 states a child can be removed from a home based solely on a parent's disability, the beautiful and unconventional way Jessica became a mom through foster care, and how letting go of perfectionism changed everything in her relationship, her parenting, and her sense of self-worth.

You don’t want to miss this.

Sex addiction is real, but most people don’t actually understand what it is. This week, Liat sits down with renowned therapist and author Dr. Rob Weiss (Seeking Integrity, Sex Addiction 101) to break down compulsive sexual behavior and why it’s now recognized as CSBD.

They unpack the signs, the stigma, the role of shame, and what real intimacy actually looks like. Plus, why the conversation has changed from “this isn’t real” to “how can we help people with this issue.”

This week, Liat chats with Mellanie Page about ChatGPT, AI in ABA, and why your BCBA workflow might be way harder than it needs to be.

From clinical work to business and marketing, Mellanie breaks down how AI is already changing the field of behavior analysis and how you can start using it to increase efficiency, improve programming, and expand your impact. They also get into the real questions: Is AI ethical in ABA? What should you not be using it for? And why are so many BCBAs still hesitant to get on board?

If you’ve been feeling burnt out, stuck, or just curious about how to actually use ChatGPT in your day-to-day as a BCBA, this episode is your sign to start thinking bigger.

Let’s be real, coparenting is hard. Coparenting with a toxic ex? It’s like a group project with the classmate who never does the work.

This week, Liat sits down with twin sisters, certified family mediators, and Boundary Badass authors Jan and Jillian Yuhas to break down high-conflict dynamics, coercive control, and what boundaries actually look like in real life. They cover red flags of toxic and narcissistic behavior, how to stop taking the bait, and how to protect your peace (and your kid’s mental health) when emotions run high.

Not a coparent? Still relevant. If you’ve dealt with a manipulative ex, a high-conflict family member, or someone who always has to control the narrative, this conversation is for you. We’re talking self-regulation, clear communication, and holding boundaries without losing your mind.

We talk all things self care, like the realization that you can hype everyone else up and still be your own biggest bully, why self reflection sometimes feels like getting emotionally punched in the face, and how becoming your own bestie might start with something as simple as taking yourself on a spa day or eating a Snickers in your car. It doesn’t get more real, raw and relatable than this. Tune in for all the tips and tricks to #BeYourOwnBestie!

This week, Liat and her sister Talia sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, cognitive scientist, former Senior Advisor and founder of the White House Behavioral Science Team, Head of Behavioral Economics at Google, host of A Slight Change of Plans, and author of The Other Side of Change.

Maya shares how she landed in rooms that didn’t even have a role for her yet (BCBAs, take notes), and opens up about losing the identity she built as a Juilliard-trained violinist after a career-ending injury. We unpack why change is so threatening to our sense of self, why our brains hate uncertainty, and how to build a “soft landing” when life makes other plans.

Liat also shares her own story of navigating serious health struggles and letting go of what she thought her career was going to look like. We talk identity, loss, growth, Love Is Blind takes, and why you are so much more than what you do.

In How to Outsmart Test Anxiety, Liat sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, author of Panic Proof, to explain why anxiety hijacks your brain and how to shut that down.

What if fitness, food, and stress weren’t about discipline, but about behavior?

This week, Liat sits down with Brittnay Duguay, BCBA, functional nutritionist, IFBB Bikini Pro, and founder of Better Habits by Britt, to talk about why most wellness plans (and your New Year’s resolutions) fail, and how behavior science can actually make habits stick. From undoing diet culture and perfectionism to breaking down why “starting on Monday” is a total behavior trap, Brittnay shows how ABA principles apply way beyond the clinic and straight into real life.

Liat’s back on the mic with Jennifer Stracquadanio and Meghan Stenziano from Moms Managing Behavior. These two badass BCBAs/moms keep it real about everything from culty ABA vibes and lorazepam White Lotus moments to the wild story of Jen and her husband taking the BCBA exam at the same time. Between the laughs, they drop gems on why parents are the true change-makers, how empathy grows when you walk in their shoes, and why community behavior has to shift too. We hit the ABA basics—MOs, reinforcement, punishment—but in a way that’s actually useful, not culty. Come for the stories, stay for the parenting wisdom you’ll use everywhere.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the story of someone who has spent her life caring for other people’s children with love, patience, and dedication. For years, Jordan Litt, a BCBA and Co-Founder of CEUs by Study Notes ABA, has been the one others relied on, nurturing, teaching, and being there for countless young lives. But now, she’s facing one of the most personal, heart-wrenching journeys of her own—the journey of trying to have a child herself. As she opens up about her struggle with finding out about a joint incompatible with life carrier status and her ongoing experience with IVF, she shares the unexpected emotions, the heartache, and the resilience it takes to keep going when the dream feels just out of reach. This is an honest conversation about sacrifice, hope, and the strength we often don’t realize we have until it’s tested. Join us as we walk alongside her through this chapter of longing, self-reflection, and the undying hope that love will eventually bring her the family she's always dreamed of.

On today’s episode, the Bitches sit down with Don Moore who identifies the ways confidence behaves in real life and raises thought-provoking questions. How optimistic should you be about an uncertain future? What justifies your confidence in something amorphous and subjective like your attractiveness or sense of humor? Moore reminds us that the key to success is to avoid being both over- and under-confident. In this essential guide, he shows how to become perfectly confident—how to strive for and maintain the well-calibrated, adaptive confidence that can elevate all areas of our lives. If you ever feel Imposter Syndrome ( which who doesn’t), you have to tune into this episode!! Love you. Mean it!

Today on the show, the Bitches sit down with Dr. John Borgen. He is a clinical psychologist and doctoral-level board certified behavior analyst. He has synthesized his education, experience, and expertise into a scientific framework that allows you to succeed when you haven’t before. ABA is an amazing science but let’s be honest we all suck at applying the principles to our own life and habits.

Dr. Borgen wrote a book called “Persevere: The Science-based Guide to Starting lifelong habits.” “You know what you want to change, but all you’ve ever had for help is some advice and people telling you change is important. You’ve tried to sustain an exercise habit or eat healthier and experienced repeated setbacks. Self-criticism and frustration set in making future attempts even more difficult. You see social media filled with success stories and advice that only seems more unattainable in time.”-Dr. Borgen. Tune in for all the behavior principles! Love you. Mean it!

On today’s episode, the Bitches bring back on one of our favorite guests, Dr. Steven Kurtz. 

As well all know, even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness. These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don't have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. PCIT differs from the three other interventions in that parents and children meet together in dyadic parent-child sessions where parent coaching is performed in vivo through a wireless in-ear speaker with the child and the parent in a playroom while the therapist works from behind a one-way mirror. Thus, the therapist sees the child throughout therapy and can tailor the treatment according to directly observed parent and child behavior instead of solely relying on parent reports.

Tah is the "Done Dude" (a nurse with nearly 25 years of experience), and Kole (former substance abuse educator turned psychedelic advocate) founded The Condor Approach to provide a psychedelic-informed coaching certification for therapists, life coaches, psychedelic enthusiasts who know. Integration. Is. Not.Optional.

They talk about flocking to the healing possibilities of power plants, fungi, and spiritual medicine, in finding safe spaces and integrating their experiences beyond the ceremony or journey. We may have solved the cause of Casey’s trauma in this episode so tune in or miss the F out!

On today's episode, the Bitches bring on one of the greatest in the field of behavior analysis, specifically when it comes to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Thomas Szabo has spent the past 10 years focusing his practice on teaching people ways to ignite behavioral flexibility in their personal lives and with others in clinical practice, schools, board rooms, shop floors, and community centers. He breaks down ACT and Relational Frame theory so that anyone listening can understand and even talks about some ways to practice psychological flexibility in your own lives. If you know Casey, you know this is her dream guest and if you know Liat you know she keeps it real AF that she knows nothing about AC, but by the end of the episode even she had lightbulb moments. This episode is one you do not want to miss whether you are studying for your board exam, currently practicing in the field, or just interested in this badass therapy. Tune in or miss the F out!

Stop for a second and answer this. Would you do the right thing if it meant you could get punished by losing your job and the respect of all those who you work with? Well, that’s exactly what LAPD officer Jim Gavin did when he got a letter on his desk from prisoner, Bruce Lisker, stating he was not guilty for the murder of his mother 26 years ago. On today’s episode we have both Bruce Lisker and Jim Gavin on the show to talk about what went down and eventually led Bruce Lisker to his release from prison after being wrongfully convicted. This episode is heart wrenching in seeing what the implications to be had from the criminal justice system erroring. This story gives us hope that there are good people in this world willing to give it all up to do the right thing.

On today’s episode we bring on Jonathon Aslay, author of the book “What the Heck is Self-Love Anyways.” So many of our listeners have reached out to us recently to see if we have a podcast on self-care or self-love, so we tracked down someone who has done the actual work himself and knows a thing or two about it. Jonathan has hit rock bottom, lost everything he owned, lost his son, went through a divorce, and crawled his way through to figure out how to love himself again. He is also a Dating and Relationship Coach, helping women around the country find their Mr. Right. He describes the term BITCH to mean “Babe In Total Control of Herself”, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Tune in or miss the F out.

On episode 63, the Bitches bring on Chase Hughes who rivals our other guests with the longest and most impressive resume ever. Chase is a leading behavior expert in the United States and a #1 bestselling author of two books on tactical behavior skills. What started out as asking a girl out in a bar and getting #rejected, led to an obsession on understanding human behavior and the art of persuasion in the most extreme conditions. Chase helps us tackle the question of what makes us consider someone to be of authority. Chase's favorite quote is, “Everyone is wearing a mask, I’ll introduce you to the people behind them.” In today’s day this could not be more relevant #COVID. His law enforcement courses save lives around the world and he constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible with human interaction. Although, we come from different backgrounds at the end of the day we are all humans and have behaviors #duh.

On episode 62, we bring on Dr. Keira Moore from Moore Behavior Consulting to talk all about sleep issues. Keira heard about us from her students and listened to our sleep episode and reached out to us and said we need some help, in the nicest possible way. She shared with us her approach to treating sleep issues as a BCBA-D. This chick knows what’s up when it comes to sleep and challenging behaviors.

On episode 54 we bring on Dr. Jim Moore. Hey, look at that we are already rhyming! Jim is super passionate about all things behaviorism. He pushes the boundaries and practices philosophical doubt like no other. Just like Skinner, if he finds something interesting,  he drops everything and studies it. We urge you all to do the same. We talk about tribalism within our field and why it's not beneficial to the practitioner or client. We talk about a lot more but you will have to tune in or miss the F out. Love you. Mean it.

In part 3 of our 3 part series with Bruce Lisker, we talk about those last minutes leading up to his freedom. He paints the picture for us of exactly what it was like stepping onto free soil at the age of 44 for the first time since going in behind bars at the young, tender age of 17 years old. Don’t worry your girls asked him every last detail from what he ate, to what he wore, to what he did first, and so on. Bruce invites us into his life now, took us for a virtual ride in his #sexyAF Mercedes convertible he always dreamed of owning when he was behind bars, and just keeps it #realAF with us. We enjoyed recording every second of this podcast and we continue to text and be in touch with Bruce. Thanks for tuning in for this three part series. We hope you loved it as much as we love you.

On part 2 of this 3 part series, we dig deeper into what life behind bars is actually like. We were mind blown by Bruce’s positivity and mental strength during his 26 years he spent locked up for a crime he did not commit. If you’re struggling with the stay at home orders, Bruce provides some great ideas of how to keep yourselves busy… perhaps you’re #desperateAF to get your husband’s name tattooed on your face but all of the tattoo parlors are closed? Have no fear, Bruce will give you all the dets so you can get this done (gather an old walkman, a pencil, a toothbrush, and a paperclip). Liat was pretty pumped to hear that she would be an “overlord” in prison. This episode gives you a glimpse inside prison, while exploring a man’s ability to NEVER GIVE UP.

All we can say is HOLY SHIT. In part 1 of a 3 part series, we talk to Bruce Lisker, a 55 year old man, who served 26 years of his life in prison for a crime he did not  commit #WTF #NotCool. Bruce walks us through every detail of his story from the devastation of finding his mother struggling for her life, calling 911 for help and being handcuffed and taken into custody for what he could never have imagined would be the next 26 years of his life. We tie so many behavioral principles into these episodes so you can get your dose of true crime and ABA. You won’t want to miss any of this three part series to hear what this man went through and how he has come out on the other side.

Given the current state of our lives right now, we decided we needed to use our platform and all of our amazing listeners for something super important. With people being furloughed, laid off, let go, stressed AF, worried about the future etc, two amazing BCBAs in our field came together and created the RBT Support Fund. Dr. Shane Spiker and Hana Jurgens put their badass behavior brains together and created this amazing fund. Currently there are over 1000 people in need and only 240 givers. Let’s show this community what we are made of and grow the number of givers!!! If you have never clicked our show notes, now is the time to show up!

Today on episode 44, we bring on Dimitri Makridis who has been in the field for 11 years and board certified for the past 5 years. He has a ton of experience in a variety of populations and diagnosis. When sh*t hits the fan, you call Dimitri. Along with Ryan O from the Daily BA they started The Controversial Exchange Podcast, which is just an all around badass podcast. When we found out how much Dimitri loves to talk about all things functional analysis, we had to bring him on so our listeners would be able to really understand just how important FA’s truly are and how to not be afraid of them! We dive deep into Greg Hanley’s Practical Functional Assessment and synthesized contingencies versus isolated contingiences. We chat about manipulating the MO and how there may be more than just the four functions of behavior we are taught. Sound scary? Don’t worry, we break it down so you will understand it, as always. This is an episode that could really help you increase your understanding and competency on FA’s so when you get get out of your house #imaginethat you can be a stronger practitioner!  Love you.

We were #luckyAF to sit down and chat with Zabeen Mirza. Zabeen heads the North American division of the Schranner Negotiation Institute and brings twelve years of business management, corporate strategy, and new venture development experience to the table. She climbed her way up the rankings being the youngest woman of color to do what she has done. This makes for one badass bitch (this means alot coming from THE Bitches themselves). Her grit and determination is evident in every word that comes out of her mouth. Our favorite line she said was, “ You don’t have to like me, you don’t even have to respect me. However, you do have to negotiate with me.” After listening to this episode you will never settle for anything less than the best.

Steve in an internationally recognized expert #BFD in child psychology. He is also the founder of the Selective Mutism Programs at both the NYU Child Study Center and the Child Mind Institute. In his email to us he said let’s talk about “awesome ABA implemented in a non-autistic context.” It was almost like he knew what we did over here at BBP. Steve instantly became one of our favorite guests and an honorary Behavior B. Steve also sent us both pins that say, “Get Comfortable, Being Uncomfortable.” I mean this guy is the real deal. You are going to love this conversation as much as we did, promise. Love you. Mean it.

On today’s episode we have BCBA, Kathryn Goerges on the show to discuss how she works with extremely challenging behavior and how important it is to look at the true function of the behavior. We talk about about the importance of conducting functional analysis in your practice and not just throwing the kitchen sink at problem behaviors. Casey was still reeling after seeing Dr. Gregory Hanley present his work on the IISCA and Practical Functional Assessment so there are a ton of amazing “AH-HA” moments during this episode. If you are struggling with trying to treat  problem behaviors and need some inspiration, then tune in baby.

Today’s episode is #InterestingAF if we say so ourselves. Liat’s new obsession is researching how to successfully negotiate a hostage situation. You know, something very important in case this ever comes up when walking down the street. Okay, kidding...hopefully. Anyways, Liat has pulled Casey in on this #obv and she’s kinda obsessed with the topic too. We are no experts on this but we’re damn good at doing our due diligence and translating what we learn into #BehavioralBreakdowns. Tune in baby!

On today’s episode the bitches discuss a topic that lights absolute rage in both Casey and Liat, Bullying. Bullying is a big freaking deal and guess what, punishing the bully’s behavior after the fact is NOT working. Why the F#%$ do people bully? WTF do we do about it? With the invention of social media and the cyber world, bullying has only increased and intensified. The ladies tie in many behavioral principles that maintain bullying behavior, why people bully, and applied behavior analysis therapy interventions that if implemented correctly could one day create a kind and respectful community. Once again, ABA can change the world!

We have some pretty juicy questions that we asked Ryan, so you won’t want to miss this interview! If you want something in life, you have to be willing to put the work in, as Ryan says #EatshitDaily. He touches on his experience in OBM, working with adults with disabilities, his failures in business, the good and the ugly sides of social media, how fast the field is expanding and so much more.

Break-ups: They are tough AF but guess what? You will survive. When you are going through one you think it will never get better, you can’t survive without that person, who gets to keep the friends? How can you be alone? OMG...the list keeps going. But guess what “A breakup is like a broken mirror, It it better to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it.” In Episode 15, Liat and Casey talk about the craziest ex stories, how painful breakups are, and analyze this all using behavior analytic principles.

Today on Episode 13 we have Chauntae Gold, M.Ed, BCBA on the show. She is doing some wicked cool stuff with ABA and fitness/nutrition. How many times have you started a new diet but couldn’t stick with it? How many times have you signed up for a class or gym membership and never went? How many times have you started a 30-day challenge and not make it past the first week? We have been there baby and Chauntae is here to tell you that it is NOT because you are lazy or that you lack discipline. It is because you do not have a clear plan and solid foundation of daily habits that support your long term goals.  Tune in to hear all about how you can use behavior analysis to change your habits that will allow you to gain optimal health and live your best life!!

Is there a conspiracy to make your clothes go out of style every other month? How the hell do you keep up with these trends? Do you remember when butterfly clips were all the rage? Like you could not get enough of those clips in your hair. In a world of social media there are always people posting new styles and things you just HAVE to buy to be cool right? Lets behaviorally analyze this and have some laughs at the throwback trends.
