Join Sarah as she reconnects with Dani (Daniela Galves Moreno), BCBA and co-founder of Brawn and Bloom, for an inspiring conversation about courage, personal growth, and creating change in the ABA field.

Dani shares her incredible journey from working at Nemours Children's Hospital to taking a bold 4-month solo travel adventure that transformed her career path. Discover how this leap of faith led to co-founding Self Set Go, the field's first conference dedicated to clinician wellness and personal development.

Quotes from This Episode
"When things are meant to be for you, they will be for you no matter what. So if you are right now in a moment in your life where you're like, I don't know if this is the right thing to do, and what if I go, and maybe this... like, all the ifs, stop and just go with whatever your heart is telling you to do."

"Shoot the shots, right? Like, what is... shoot the shots. There's no... nothing that could go wrong. Like, if he says no, well, I go back to square one. I didn't have that opportunity before, so I lost, truly, nothing, but if he does say yes, I gained a whole lot."

"There is a lot of wisdom that comes from sitting with your own thoughts and nobody else. And the knowledge that you gain from those moments is knowledge that you can't gain any other way but when you are on your own."

"We want to shift away from that and actually teach clinicians how to manage their time so that they can be both professionals, but also human beings outside of BCBA, because being BCBA is only one part of us as human beings."

"Everything is temporary, so whatever situation you're in, in the moment, it tends to feel very heavy, and like you're never gonna get out of it. But remember that nothing lasts forever."

"Don't compare your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 20, because that's not fair to you. And everybody started on chapter 1, so nobody just randomly woke up and was on chapter 20."

"In order for you to be courageous, fear must be present. So whenever we're thinking that, oh, I'm so scared to do it, I'm just not gonna do it... don't let fear stop you, because when fear is present, that means that you're in the right path."
