Behavior Bitches

On today’s episode we bring back a very special guest/sperm donor to Liat. You may remember this man from episode 4 “Financially FreeAF”. The one and only Ivan  Sacks #liatsdad. Ivan has 40 years experience as a financial advisor so he knows his Sh*t when it comes to investing. We talk about the behaviors of the stock market and the behaviors of the actual investors. We tie in a ton of behavioral principles and talk about the similarities between a behavior analyst and a financial advisor. By the end of this episode you will probably have already downloaded e*trade and might actually understand how to invest. Tune the F in or miss the F out.

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.

Episode 53: Today’s episode will get you hot and bothered.

The thing is we won’t just get you bothered on this episode, we will put some fire under your ass (hence the hot part) and get you pumpedAF to feel the relief of becoming debt free! Casey and I have taken this on ourselves this year and are working toward becoming debt free and fabulous and let me tell you, we’re on FIRE!

In episode 52, we bring back Shane Spiker who we had on a previous episode #BFD. Shane recently published a book called Anxiety Report and OMG it was everything we didn’t know we needed in our lives. He shares a year in his life as a husband, dad, behavior analyst, student, instructor, and all of the many hats he wears. There are diary entries for every single day that will inspire you, humble you, make you laugh and sometimes want to cry, but most of all RELATE and not feel alone. It is unedited, unapologetic, honest, real, raw, and relatable and you know how much your Behavior Bitches love keeping it RRR!! Whether you are in the field or not, you will find this book absolutely breathtaking. It will for sure be a coffee table favorite. So tune in or miss the F out! See show notes for the book!

End of Season 1. OMG. We F#%king made it to 50 episodes. We never imagined we would be where we are today and it's all because of you guys. You are the heartbeat and the pulse. You make each episode matter. In this tribute episode to end season one, we talk all about our fav moments. You guys shared your fav episodes with us too. We are so #blessed to have found each other not only for this podcast but also #4life. We are each other's ying to the yang and this episode showcases just how much we love each other. Be warned: lots of flirting with each other. Tune in or miss the F out.

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. Mean it.

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. Tune in or miss the F%&k out.

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! We missed Liat #passover on this episode but we promise we talk about so much during this episode that whether you are in the field or not you will want to tune in. Love you. Mean it.

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. Mean it.

What up guys!? It's your fav bitches over here dropping a PSA for you and anyone else we can get this very important message to.

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.

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!

On episode 18 the Behavior Bitches interview the one and only Ryan O from The Daily BA. Ryan spends countless hours creating powerful content, editing videos, and interviewing some pretty impactful people in the field in order to fill the gap between the amazing science of behavior and the billions of people that it could impact for the better. Ryan shares his experience working as a BCBA as well as the insane amount of time he has spent learning how to shoot videos and edit content. 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. Check the show notes for this episode, Ryan shared some super valuable resources.

On episode 17 we have a new bitch in town. Liat had #lupusproblems and was not on this episode but not to worry we had one BADASS QUEEN in the field of Behavior Analysis fill in. We talked all about what it means to be a new BCBA, how important quality supervision is, and how crucial it is to find mentors and companies who match your morals and values. Sarah is a real, raw, and relatable BCBA who has over 20 years experience in the field. If you are feeling like you need some motivation or direction in your career, you are a new BCBA trying to figure out where to go, or you just want to hear some bad ass b’s talking about how to #hustle and be successful, then this episode is for you!! I promise this episode will not disappoint.

On today’s episode, Liat and Casey talk about the famous “5 Love Languages”. Are you a person who prefers getting flowers (clearly this is not Liat’s preference)  or would you rather your SO took the trash out and did the dishes once in a while. Do you prefer to cuddle all F*ing night, or do you just want to talk about your day without interruption. By learning your love language and behavior principles behind each language you can better understand what your partner needs. We also talk about how this #generalizes to the work-place and friendships. Tune in people.

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!!

On episode 12, you get just the behavior bitches! Today we lighten up a bit and talk all about trends. #Trending. How do trends happen. 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.
