Improv'ing Your Session with Ali Arena, BCBA

Ali has dedicated her education and career to finding the best communication patterns and behavior changes required to navigate the ever-changing social world. Her clients often call her a “social detective” -- more than likely that comes from her unique training as a Speech Therapist and Behavioral Analyst. She is constantly figuring out the best way to use every client’s strengths to maximize their learning and social potential. We talk all about using the “Improv Method” during sessions to help build confidence, increase social skills, and create a safe environment for everyone!

On today’s episode, the Bitches bring on one of the coolest guests, Dini Klein, author of the cookbook Prep + Rally. Dini created Prep + Rally to take the stress out of meal prep, create more time to spend with your families, and actually enjoy mealtime again. If you are a busy professional, parent, spouse, or just a human you know how hard it is to manage your to-do lists, work full time, handle all the grocery shopping, take the dog out to sh*t, maybe sneak in a workout, and then be in charge of feeding other humans. It doesn’t have to be aversive any longer with Dini’s tried and true system of prepping for one hour on Sunday and then rallying the rest of the week! Tune in to learn more or miss the F out!

#relatable
One word: Relatable! This podcast has me laughing, crying, but most importantly learning. Finishing up my hours, bought your digital must have-bundle and testing in about 2.5 months! Hoping to be one and done! Listening to you ladies has inspired me, and most importantly @casey you helped me discover my WHY and that I am not alone in this trauma recovery journey #daddyissues #AA. I can’t thank you ladies enough for making a podcast and material that is actually enjoyable to listen to and makes studying fun.
This Show Makes My Mornings
Hey guys!
I freaking LOVE this podcast! I have been in the ABA field since May 2019. I’m currently finishing up my hours to become a BCBA! I recently switched clinics and I drive an hour and a half to work everyday. It seems crazy but your podcast makes the drive FUN. I look forward to my morning commute because I can’t wait to listen to you guys chat and discuss ABA terms! I’ve also put off taking the test because I’m getting married this fall and want to focus on one thing at a time. Listening to your podcast has truly helped me keep all of the terms fresh in my brain and it also helps me be ABA-ready when I get to work! You guys are amazing and I am so thankful for all you are doing in this field! I hope to join a collective next year!
Love ya, meant it!

Never liked podcasts…until I listened to yours!
Use to hate listening to people read things and talk, but I made myself give you two a try. I started by listening to the latest episode, complex PTSD and other issues with guest, Dr. Ingrid. LOVED IT 🤩🥳 Multiple times, I said out loud to my self “Yes - it all makes sense!” I am currently going for my masters in ABA and the plan is to graduate next year, either summer or fall. 🤪🙏🏼🧠 I have started from the beginning episodes of your podcast and will continue listening to them! Thank you for explaining all things ABA in a non-ABA way!
