On today’s episode we bring on Mari Cerda, BCBA, LBA. We have been following all the amazing work that she has been over on her insta @the.bilingual.bcba and are pumped we were all able to sit together and have an open and honest conversation. Mari is a BCBA and was also diagnosed after college as Autistic. She is able to see both sides of the coin when it comes to ABA treatment and Autism. She sheds so much light on validating those that have had trauma or bad experiences with ABA and what we can all do better in the field. Mari is also passionate about creating a more culturally inclusive and diverse representation in the field and is working hard with her non-profit organization, LEAP, to offer scholarships to break the financial barriers that come with the cost of getting into this field.

On Episode 91, Liat does a very #LiatMove and invites her OBGYN to join us on the show. He knows her pretty well-literally inside and out. Don’t worry we have some class and dont go into that detail. Instead we have Dr. Martin Hechanova share his family’s journey with surrogacy. We hope this episode helps disseminate the surrogacy process and all the fascinating steps involved (like swiping left and right on individuals based on their genetic make up).
