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 today’s episode, the Bitches sit down with Don Moore who identifies the ways confidence behaves in real life and raises thought-provoking questions. How optimistic should you be about an uncertain future? What justifies your confidence in something amorphous and subjective like your attractiveness or sense of humor? Moore reminds us that the key to success is to avoid being both over- and under-confident. In this essential guide, he shows how to become perfectly confident—how to strive for and maintain the well-calibrated, adaptive confidence that can elevate all areas of our lives. If you ever feel Imposter Syndrome ( which who doesn’t), you have to tune into this episode!! Love you. Mean it!
