Behavior Bitches
Ever wonder why guys always assume you’re down to get dirty within 3 seconds of meeting them? Why you keep making the same bad decisions and getting back with your crummy ex? Why you can’t stick to a diet? Well, there’s a reason and we’re ready to be direct AF with you by behaviorally breaking down the situation and identifying the function in a way that any average Joe or Jane can understand.
Liat Sacks, a badass Behavior Analyst and your soon to be BFF, makes this “random” world make sense through the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

#LoveYourself You Sexy Thing
On today’s episode we bring on Jonathon Aslay, author of the book “What the Heck is Self-Love Anyways.” So many of our listeners have reached out to us recently to see if we have a podcast on self-care or self-love, so we tracked down someone who has done the actual work himself and knows a thing or two about it. Jonathan has hit rock bottom, lost everything he owned, lost his son, went through a divorce, and crawled his way through to figure out how to love himself again. He is also a Dating and Relationship Coach, helping women around the country find their Mr. Right. He describes the term BITCH to mean “Babe In Total Control of Herself”, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Tune in or miss the F out.

#GoodGrief
On today’s episode we reveal the shocking truth: Bitches have feelings too. We have had a ton of our listeners reach out and ask us to do an episode on grief. Took a while for us to be ready to take this topic by the horns, but we finally did it. On this episode, you can get to know us a little better as we talk about our own personal experience with grieving. Don’t worry we give you some #ReplacementBehaviors to engage in other than crying on the bathroom floor. But hey, we get it. Sometimes a good cry on the bathroom floor is #NecessaryAF. Tune in or miss the f#%k out.
