Episode 10: In this episode ofThe Most Responsible Person in the Room, we're talking about collaboration (and those group project horror stories). Who actually enjoyed group projects as a kid?

This week we focus on recent collaboration missteps and share everything we have learned. Collaboration is so much more complex than just "teamwork". Today we dive deep into the must-haves when starting a collaborative project, and spoiler alert... it involves self-care!

As always, lots of memories and interesting experiences to share this week! We're still making mistakes, still learning, and still finding joy in all of these moments.

In this episode, we toss out your typical definition of the most responsible person in the room and point out the person you may not be expecting!

Episode 9: In this episode ofThe Most Responsible Person in the Room, we're talking about connections. Not just why they matter, but how to build and maintain meaningful connections to support yourself and business.

It's been a challenging week, and these types of weeks are going to happen. The connections we have made in our business and personal communities have carried us through. Today we shed light on how these connections were built, mistakes we've made along the way, and 5 important reminders we tap into every single day to create and maintain meaningful connections.

We’re sharing a lot of stories and memories this episode! Some of our previous mistakes and slip ups are difficult to recall without cringing, but they have brought us to this point where we can recognize, appreciate, and demonstrate better practices for successful connection.

In this episode, we cover everything from messy meetings and blunders when defining the most responsible person in the room!

Episode 8: In this episode ofThe Most Responsible Person in the Room, we’re breaking down what it really means to hold that title and asking the hard question: Is this you? Are you carrying the weight of your business, your clients, and your own expectations on your shoulders?

As BCBAs, business owners, special educators, professionals, parents, we are used to being the ones who have the answers. But what happens when self-doubt creeps in? This week, we dive into the realities of battling imposter syndrome, why prioritizing self-care isn’t just a buzzword but a vital business strategy, and how to stop letting doubt dictate your growth.

We’re also introducing a powerful new tool designed to help you reframe those feelings of inadequacy and step fully into your expertise. It’s time to stop second-guessing your success and start embracing your growth.

In this episode, we cover the hidden impact of self-care on your business operations and personal outcomes, practical strategies to conquer imposter syndrome, and how to use "The Doubt Directory" to track, challenge, and overcome professional self-doubt

Episode 7: In this episode, we are joined by Brenna Elizondo, Virtual Assistant and founder of Brenna Elizondo VA, where she helps small business owners bring clarity, structure, and ease to their day-to-day operations. Brenna partners with entrepreneurs to organize what’s already working, improve what isn’t, and create practical systems that make the work of running a business feel more manageable.

This conversation highlights Brenna’s journey as a fellow first-time business owner and former educator, and we talk openly about what it means to believe in yourself when you are just getting started. We explore how she worked through impostor syndrome, how experience has shaped her understanding of confidence, community, and ongoing learning, and why growth often comes from staying open to support and connection.

Brenna offers a thoughtful reminder that the most responsible person is not someone who tries to do everything alone, but someone who recognizes the power of community and intentionally builds relationships that support success for both themselves and others.

Episode 2: The Cold is Gone! And with all that time fighting this illness I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting. Being The Most Responsible Person in the Room is hard! These past few weeks we've been reflecting on the challenges of being a business owner and finding your community. Sometimes you may have one built in, sometimes you may have to build your own, and sometimes it's a little of both. Regardless, let’s get real and vulnerable in sharing the challenges a business owner faces and the strength one must have to keep pushing through. I’m grateful to my family and friends, my cousin and the beautiful gift, and my new, growing community of positive, encouraging professionals who see the Unified Visions.
