In today’s episode, we’re diving into the story of someone who has spent her life caring for other people’s children with love, patience, and dedication. For years, Jordan Litt, a BCBA and Co-Founder of CEUs by Study Notes ABA, has been the one others relied on, nurturing, teaching, and being there for countless young lives. But now, she’s facing one of the most personal, heart-wrenching journeys of her own—the journey of trying to have a child herself. As she opens up about her struggle with finding out about a joint incompatible with life carrier status and her ongoing experience with IVF, she shares the unexpected emotions, the heartache, and the resilience it takes to keep going when the dream feels just out of reach. This is an honest conversation about sacrifice, hope, and the strength we often don’t realize we have until it’s tested. Join us as we walk alongside her through this chapter of longing, self-reflection, and the undying hope that love will eventually bring her the family she's always dreamed of.

On part 2 of this 3 part series, we dig deeper into what life behind bars is actually like. We were mind blown by Bruce’s positivity and mental strength during his 26 years he spent locked up for a crime he did not commit. If you’re struggling with the stay at home orders, Bruce provides some great ideas of how to keep yourselves busy… perhaps you’re #desperateAF to get your husband’s name tattooed on your face but all of the tattoo parlors are closed? Have no fear, Bruce will give you all the dets so you can get this done (gather an old walkman, a pencil, a toothbrush, and a paperclip).

Today's episode has the intention of creating a space where we can all listen, learn, and take action. We always talk about Skinner’s verbal behavior and the necessity of a speaker and a listener. On today’s topic the same is needed. A speaker and a listener. Our goal of today is to use our platform we have created to ask real, raw, honest, sometimes scary questions. We hope you leave today with actions you can actually do. In the wake of all the sadness and injustice that is occurring now and for the past 400 years to people of color, we will not remain silent. We will use our platform to host those who are taking action. We have special guest Landria Seals Green and Vanessa Bethea-Miller both Behavior Analysts and African American Women on the show to share their experiences with racism as well as the movement they have created to take action. Sign up for the ABA Task Force which is happening on June 19th and we better see you there. Love you. Mean it.

Today on the show, the Bitches sit down with Dr. John Borgen. He is a clinical psychologist and doctoral-level board certified behavior analyst. He has synthesized his education, experience, and expertise into a scientific framework that allows you to succeed when you haven’t before. ABA is an amazing science but let’s be honest we all suck at applying the principles to our own life and habits. Dr. Borgen wrote a book called “Persevere: The Science-based Guide to Starting lifelong habits.” “You know what you want to change, but all you’ve ever had for help is some advice and people telling you change is important. You’ve tried to sustain an exercise habit or eat healthier and experienced repeated setbacks. Self-criticism and frustration set in making future attempts even more difficult. You see social media filled with success stories and advice that only seems more unattainable in time.”-Dr. Borgen. Tune in for all the behavior principles! Love you. Mean it!
