Using behavioral science and applied behavior analysis (ABA), the hosts explore how people pleasing develops, why behaviors like self-silencing, overhelping, and avoiding conflict can become reinforced habits over time. They also unpack the connection between approval-seeking, mental health, and relationships, including how the desire to keep everyone happy can affect friendships, workplace communication, leadership, and giving honest feedback.

Whether you struggle to set boundaries, worry about disappointing people, avoid difficult conversations, or find yourself agreeing when you really want to say no, this episode will help you understand the behavior behind the pattern. You’ll discover why being nice can sometimes be a way to manage your own discomfort, how behavioral reinforcement keeps people pleasing going, and why protecting someone else’s feelings can come at the expense of your own needs. 

Stay tuned for Part 2 next week to explore how to stop people pleasing behavior.

Using applied behavior analysis (ABA), Ashley explains why our goals are often too vague to actually change behavior. Instead, she shows how breaking goals into small, repeatable behaviors, building accountability into routines, and creating the right environment can make healthy habits easier to sustain in real life.

The conversation gets especially relatable for busy parents and professionals who are tired of starting over. Ashley shares how she helps clients who hate the gym, how she uses tiny steps to build momentum, why delayed reinforcement makes healthy behavior so challenging, and how she transformed her own wake-up routine. The group also explores why behavior analysts may recognize many ABA principles in popular habit-building books, including James Clear’s Atomic Habits.

Paola gets honest about her own resistance to working out, Brittanny challenges the all-or-nothing mindset, and Leslie digs into the role of accountability, routines, and consistency. Together, they explore a question that can change the way people think about health and fitness: What if the problem is not that you lack discipline, but that your environment and system are not designed for the behavior you want?

Whether someone is trying to build healthier habits, improve their fitness, understand behavior change, support clients using behavior science, or simply stop restarting the same goal every Monday, this episode offers a practical approach to making consistency feel more achievable.

Using behavior science to understand real life, Paola, Brittanny, and Leslie examine how environmental variables, reinforcement, habits, and small behavior changes can influence major life decisions. Paola explores career transition, burnout, identity shifts, behavior change, motivation, and self-determination.

This honest conversation connects ABA, behavior analysis, organizational behavior management, leadership, career development, and everyday behavior to the process of reinventing yourself. 

For anyone questioning their current job, career, navigating burnout, considering entrepreneurship, or feeling stuck in a role that looks good on paper but no longer feels right, this episode offers a relatable reminder: changing your environment can change your behavior, and changing your behavior can change your future.

Through the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), they explore why conversations are often postponed, how silence becomes reinforced within organizations, and what leaders can do to create a culture built on feedback, accountability, and psychological safety.

The discussion goes beyond communication strategies to examine why talented employees become disengaged, how workplace environments shape behavior, and why effective leadership requires coaching before problems escalate. They also tackle the concept of "acting your wage," setting healthy professional boundaries, and knowing when to influence change versus when to step back.

Blending behavior science with relatable workplace stories and candid conversations, this episode delivers practical leadership strategies that managers, supervisors, HR professionals, behavior analysts, and aspiring leaders can apply immediately. Whether leading a team, navigating workplace conflict, or building a stronger organizational culture, listeners will gain actionable insights to improve communication, strengthen leadership skills, and create environments where people and organizations thrive.

Joined by intuitive healer Andrea Sadler, they reframe breath-work, meditation, and energy awareness as trainable behaviors, not abstract ideas. If behavior can be shaped, so can intuition. Andrea translates intuition into simple, repeatable habits that calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and increase clarity.

Paola breaks it down through an ABA lens, showing how reinforcement, habit formation, and awareness build intuition over time, not by chance but by design. If you feel overwhelmed or disconnected, this episode gives you what you actually need: small, doable shifts that create emotional resilience and self-trust. No retreats. No complexity. Just behavior change that helps you feel grounded, clear, and back in control.

Take a breath. Your intuition isn’t missing—it’s waiting to be built.

In this episode of Everyday ABA, the hosts kick off Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day by exploring gendered work and emotional labor in the workplace. They break down how women are often expected to take on invisible labor that is essential to workplace functioning but rarely recognized, rewarded, or tied to promotions. Through real-world examples, the conversation examines how these expectations reinforce gender inequities and subtly shape professional trajectories across industries.

The hosts discuss boundary-setting, why women face social penalties for assertiveness while men are rewarded, and how these dynamics persist in both male- and female-dominated workplaces—even for women in leadership.

The episode also highlights practical solutions: redesigning workplace systems, clarifying roles, and shifting organizational culture to create equitable environments where women can thrive without taking on unpaid or invisible labor.

Perfect for listeners interested in workplace psychology, gender equity, women in leadership, burnout prevention, emotional labor, boundary-setting, and applying ABA beyond clinical settings, this episode offers actionable insights for building healthier, more equitable work cultures.

Using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and psychology lens, the conversation explores how strengths reflect reinforced behaviors, weaknesses often signal skill or system gaps, and how environmental opportunities and threats influence decision-making, burnout, and follow-through. The hosts model the process by sharing their own podcast SWOT analysis, offering a real-world example of reflective practice and values-aligned planning.

This episode emphasizes that reflection without action isn’t enough. Listeners are guided on how to turn insight into behaviorally defined next steps, reduce reliance on willpower, and make intentional choices that support long-term alignment—especially for clinicians, educators, and helping professionals navigating complex work-life demands.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, approaching a transition, or reassessing your next professional move, this episode shows how behavioral science can help you reflect honestly, reset intentionally, and plan your next stage without burnout.

In this episode of Everyday ABA, hosts Paola, Brittany, and Leslie break down listening styles. Not how we talk, but how we hear; and, why listening is often the real reason communication falls apart. Using applied behavior analysis (ABA), psychology, and real-life examples from their own dynamic, they explore five common communication styles: listening to respond, listening to agree, listening to disagree, listening to understand, and listening to win.

Paola unpacks what it means to listen for solutions. Leslie explores validation and people-oriented listening. Brittany dives into critical listening and why disagreement isn’t always rejection. Together, they explain how different listening styles are reinforced, how mismatched listening leads to conflict at work and in relationships, and how to adjust your communication based on what the conversation actually needs.

Whether you’re navigating workplace communication, leadership conversations, relationships, or parenting, this episode will help you identify your own listening style, understand others better, and communicate more effectively. If you’ve ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or frustrated during conversations, this episode will change how you listen.

In this episode of EveryDay ABA, Paola, Brittanny, and Leslie are joined by Graham Lukas, one of the top sales performers for Hyatt Vacation Club, to explore sales through a behavioral science lens. This is not a pitch about timeshares. It is a deep dive into influence, motivation, and persuasion using real-world sales examples.

Graham explains why everything in life is a form of sales, from building trust with families, leading teams, to convincing someone or yourself to change behavior. The conversation highlights how Applied Behavior Analysis principles used by BCBAs every day can drive effective business, leadership, and personal decision-making.

Whether you are a BCBA, clinician, consultant, or business owner who struggles with selling without feeling salesy, this episode reframes sales as relationship-building, problem-solving, and value alignment rather than manipulation. Learn practical strategies from behavioral science to influence and grow your impact.

The episode also covers common barriers that prevent people from investing, such as fear of market fluctuations, lack of early financial education, and decision paralysis.

Rather than relying on motivation alone, the hosts explore how behavioral systems, reinforcement, and self-management strategies turn intentions into action. They discuss why goals must be observable, measurable, and aligned with personal values, and how breaking down big goals into manageable steps increases follow-through, regardless of what your personal goals are.

If you’re tired of New Year’s resolutions that fade by February, this episode offers a behaviorally sound, realistic approach to goal setting that you can use all year long.

This episode is designed for women leaders, helping professionals, and anyone interested in behavioral science, equity, and reimagining burnout prevention through delegation, boundaries, and ABA principles.

Throughout the discussion, the hosts connect these relationship patterns to behavioral principles like functional analysis, reinforcement history, private events, and environmental contingencies. They emphasize that these same dynamics appear in therapy rooms, workplaces, and families, not just reality TV. This episode helps listeners understand how reinforcement drives connection and conflict, why empathy and bedside manner matter in every field, and how “trusting your gut” can function as a cue for self-advocacy and boundary setting.
