    Behavior analysts talk about the environment. Ximena Valle designs it.

    Ximena Valle, AIA, LEED AP, founding principal of FIFTEEN Architecture + Design, joins Liat to break down what really goes into designing for neurodiverse communities, and it's a lot more than ramps and sensory rooms. We talk spaces that make you feel like an animal versus ones that feel like a spa, paint blends that stop kids from peeling the walls, and arranging furniture to keep clients engaged. Ximena breaks down how color and layout shape behavior, how bad design burns out staff too, and what BCBAs and educators can steal for their own classrooms and therapy rooms.

    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.

  18. Coparenting with a Toxic Ex with Jan & Jillian Yuhas

    Episode 206

    Show notes

    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.

    Show notes

    This week, Liat sits down with author and one of our fav creators Misha Brown to get the tea on his new book, Be Your Own Bestie: A No-Nonsense Guide to Changing the Way You Treat Yourself, out February 17th.

    We talk all things self care, like the realization that you can hype everyone else up and still be your own biggest bully, why self reflection sometimes feels like getting emotionally punched in the face, and how becoming your own bestie might start with something as simple as taking yourself on a spa day or eating a Snickers in your car. It doesn’t get more real, raw and relatable than this. Tune in for all the tips and tricks to #BeYourOwnBestie!

  20. Behavioral Breakdown: The Idaho College Murderer with Presley Wanner

    Episode 204

    Show notes

    One of our favorite guests is back!

    This week, forensic psychology expert and BCBA Presley Wanner joins us to break down the Idaho murders and the case against Brian Kohberger. We walk through what happened in Moscow, Idaho, the victims, the investigation, and the key evidence that led to the killer’s arrest, then zoom out to examine the behavioral patterns, misconceptions, and unanswered questions that make this case so chilling.

    Expect deep behavioral analysis, uncomfortable truths about grievance and violence, and a deep dive along the way.
