Excerpts from the Episode
-
My first job out of grad school felt like a pretty big failure. Looking back I know it was an environment that really was not set up for me to succeed, especially not knowing about my ADHD diagnosis. But I learned a lot about myself, what is valuable to me, and what I won’t stand for anymore.

If your contract is only a year, don’t be fooled into taking on more than what is obligated.
-
I’d love to be a mentor for RBTs, student analysts, BCBAs, and even people outside the field, with regard to implementing ACT into their OWN lives, and then helping serve their clients to the best of their abilities.
