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.
