    Knowing Your Authentic Self (with Maverick Joyce) - Ep74

    What is failure, but just another way to learn something new? Have you ever heard the phrase, “What’s hard for you is not what’s wrong with you”? During today’s meal - I speak with an audhd social worker about rejection sensitive dysphoria, building self-advocacy and boundaries, the nuances in the neurodiversity realm, and favorite wintertime activities. — Maverick Joyce, MSW Maverick Joyce is a social worker, coach, and therapist who supports people struggling with rejection wounds to find their boundaries in relationships, confidence in their values and opinions, and self-advocacy without shame. Upon birthing a child into this world as a 30-something, Maverick was identified as AuDHD and they realised they experienced this phenomenon called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). This entire experience was a wake-up call that propelled them into the work they do, and the mission to show people that they don’t have to accept RSD as a lifelong condition. The world needs the authentic shine and embodiment of neurodivergent brains. Maverick combines structural, systemic, ancestral, and interpersonal standpoints through wholistic mind-body-emotion-spirit frameworks to guide people into authentic embodiment of Self. — Follow Maverick!

    Just Ask (with Megan Richardson) - Ep70

    Does it feel like you are drowning in a sea of unorganized paperwork? Would you have more time to devote to your “why” in the field if you had space to self-advocate? During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst and new mom about what it looks like to advocate for yourself starting right from the interview process, having more time for life outside the field, what her favorite thing is about her job, and planning the perfect new parents’ date. — Megan Richardson, M.A., BCBA, LBA Megan is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the creator behind The Organized Analyst, where she helps BCBAs organize their work to cut down on stress, rebalance their days to make space for life outside the field, and build businesses that fit the life they’re dreaming of.

    It Takes A Village (with Salma Jaramillo) - Ep68

    What brings you joy? It’s okay if you don’t immediately have an answer, but I’m going to challenge you to bring more joy into your life! During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst about what brings her joy, her journey with ABA (the positives and challenges), mentoring younger generations, and community service. — About Salma Jaramillo, MA, BCBA, LBA Salma received her Master’s Degree in Exceptional Student Education & Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of West Florida. Before becoming a behavior analyst, Salma was a Registered Behavior Technician® for 7 years and provided direct therapy to various children with different needs and strengths. Ever since becoming an RBT®, Salma knew she wanted to one day have her own ethical agency to continue to help children and their families. The agency she is building from the ground up is It Takes A Village ABA and the organization's message is that together we can achieve more. Salma is stepping into her 4th year as a BCBA® and is still learning and hanging in there! Salma was raised by two immigrant parents that came to the states when she was only 3 years old and is a strong believer in resilience, hard work, and dedication to doing what you love. In her free time she creates art such as digital art and drawings, and is also skipping the midlife crisis and going straight into bird feeders, plants, and cats. Salma also loves to volunteer and has participated in organizations that help abused & unhoused women and their children get back on their feet as well as mentoring teens going into high school with the goal to help them graduate with their high school diploma. — Follow Sal!
