    How to Make Your Workplace Not Suck - Katie O'Malley

    You think you're a good listener. You're not. Executive coach and TEDx speaker Katie O'Malley joins Liat to break down why most of us are performing listening instead of actually doing it, and what that's costing us at work and in life. 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. We put a behavioral lens on all of it, because it turns out listening isn't just a soft skill. It's a behavior, and you can learn it.

    30 Years of Raising a Child with Autism with Liat's Mom: Melanie Sacks

    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.

    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.

    Lessons 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.

    Is Sex Addiction A Real Thing? with Dr. Rob Weiss

    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.”

    ChatGPT is Your BCBA Bestie with Mellanie Page

    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.

    Coparenting 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.
