You promised yourself you'd do things differently. But somehow, you end up back in the same cycle. Why?

In this episode, we explore reinforcement, habit loops, and the real reason you keep repeating patterns—from an ABA and personal experience perspective.

You'll learn the three-term contingency framework (A→B→C), how emotional avoidance keeps patterns locked in place, and how Myia discovered that designing around her real capacity (not her ideal capacity) was the actual intervention.

Includes practical steps your listeners can use to map their own patterns and build a schedule that actually honors who they are. What's an ABC you have noticed in your life that you need to change? drop in the comments!

After years of building Luxury of Life, I'm stepping into something that's been on my heart for a long time.

Welcome to Because Behavior—a podcast about understanding human Behavior through the lens of actual science, faith, and real life. Whether you're a parent trying to figure out your kid, an RBT grinding in the field, working in education, or just trying to understand yourself better, this is for you.

We're breaking down what actually goes on in the brain, unpacking why we do what we do, and making behavioral science actually make sense. We're talking reinforcement, communication, emotional intelligence, mental health, and everything in between. No gatekeeping. No jargon overload. Just real conversations that hit different.

Faith, community, real talk, and actual science. No fluff. No performative wellness. If you found value in what I've created before, you're gonna vibe with this.

Thanks for growing with me. This is the next chapter, plus with video—and I'm grateful you're here.
