In this episode of EveryDay ABA, hosts Brittanny, Leslie, and Paola reflect on the transformative summer months and how applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles showed up in their everyday lives. From postpartum recovery and navigating matrescence with Paola, to professional development and career transitions with Brittany, to personal growth and refined goal-setting with Leslie — each host shares their unique journey. Paola opens up about welcoming her second baby and the emotional and behavioral changes of the postpartum period, sharing what she’s learned about sleep, support systems, and self-compassion. Brittanny talks about using reflection and behavior momentum to earn new certifications and land a new job. Leslie discusses building consistency and goal-directed behaviors while balancing parenting and pursuing her BCBA certification.
