Why the podcast exists

This work shouldn’t feel isolating

The BC(BAes) Podcast is a space for honest conversations about behavior, burnout, ethics, and the human side of this work. We created it because being in this field, and in life, shouldn’t feel isolating.

Whether you’re a clinician, a parent, or someone trying to understand the why behind behavior, you’re in the right place.

What we stand for

Our four pillars

  • Authenticity

    Honest conversations, not polished performances. The wins, the misses, and the messy middle.

  • Practical Behavior Analysis

    Behavior principles in plain language, with ideas you can actually use in a session or at home.

  • Human Connection

    Being in this field, and in life, shouldn’t feel isolating. Come sit with us.

  • Growth

    Curious, not judgmental. We’re still learning too, about behavior, burnout, ethics, and ourselves.

What makes us different

Real life, at the clinic and at home

  • Two BCBAs, one household

    We’re married and both Board Certified Behavior Analysts, so you get two perspectives on the same principle, and sometimes on the same kid.

  • The clinic and the couch

    We test ideas against real life: would this work in a session, at home, and on a tired day? That’s the Real-Life Test.

  • Honest, not polished

    Conversational, curious, and occasionally funny. No jargon walls, no manufactured controversy.
