You think you're a good listener. You're not.

Katie shares her journey from burnout to betting on herself, why your workplace might be making you sick, and how understanding what actually motivates your people can change everything.

11 May 2026, 4:00 am - 1 hour 8 minutesLessons from a Disabled Mother with Jessica Slice
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.

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.

16 March 2026, 2:05 pm - 1 hour 7 minutesCoparenting with a Toxic Ex with Jan & Jillian Yuhas
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.
