Behavior Bites

Do you find yourself restricting or speaking negatively about food?How often do you give up on a skill if you aren’t immediately perfect?During today’s meal - I speak with a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach about our hang ups around food, using behavior analysis for wellness coaching, the differences between BCBA clients and everyday health and wellness clients, and her favorite sourdough preparation.~Angela Tam, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Registered Behaviour Analyst (Ont.), National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 CertifiedAngela is a Board Certified Health and Wellness coach, behaviour analyst, and founder of Flourish Onward. After over a decade in Autism services and navigating her own struggles with emotional eating, familial health crisis, busy motherhood, and an "all-or-nothing" mindset, she shifted her focus to help others transform their health. Angela helps clients break free from the "starting over" cycle, make peace with food, build eating skills, and cultivate a healthy body image - no cauliflower rice or “just love every part of your body” required. Outside of work, she is a proud mom of three, an amateur clarinetist, and a sourdough enthusiast. She trains in martial arts with her kids, proving daily that real health and fitness comes from eating enough for your life and roundhouse kicking diet culture out the door.~Follow Angela!Instagram: @itscoachangelaWebsite: flourishonward.comFor those who are struggling with the logistics of feeding themselves: The Meal FormulaFor those who'd like to take a pulse check on their eating skills and identify potential areas of improvement:The Eating Skills Reflection~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Review our show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read excerpts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠from the episode on my website~Behavior Bites is hosted by Rosie Jeffers, MAT, BCBA, LABAChat with me on Instagram!— ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rosie.eats.bx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find my ethics CEUs & mentorship @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rosiebx.com⁠In-home ABA services on Cape Cod @ ⁠rosiebehavior.com

Do you ask for help when you need it?How often do you collaborate with other practitioners?During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst about the importance of being adaptable, advocating for yourself, connecting with families, and her favorite comfort meal.~Cassie Leutenegger, M.Ed, BCBA, TX-LBACassie Leutenegger is a behavior analyst, clinic director, educator, and professional curiosity collector who believes behavior analysis is much bigger than token boards and data sheets. With roots in special education and years of experience leading autism programs, she is passionate about helping clinicians build practices that are both evidence-based and deeply human.Cassie is the creator of Adventures in Behavior Academy, where she explores topics like supervision, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Frame Theory (RFT), compassionate leadership, and the messy, meaningful realities of clinical work. She loves translating complex behavioral concepts into conversations that feel approachable, practical, and maybe even a little fun.When she’s not talking behavior science, you’ll probably find her designing CEUs, questioning long-held assumptions in the field, or convincing other behavior analysts that flexibility might just be one of our most important skills.~Follow Cassie!Website: adventuresinbehavior.comInstagram: @adventuresinbehaviorTikTok: @adventuresinbehaviorFacebook: adventuresinbehavior~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Review our show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read excerpts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠from the episode on my website~Behavior Bites is hosted by Rosie Jeffers, MAT, BCBA, LABAChat with me on Instagram!— ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rosie.eats.bx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find my ethics CEUs & mentorship @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rosiebx.com

Is it more important to be professional or to be yourself?How many behavior analytic principles do you engage in during your day-to-day life?During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst about disseminating to the general public, what she wishes she could tell herself when she started in the field, and connecting behavior science and dating.—Christina Calzadilla, M.S., BCBA, LBA (CT)Christina Calzadilla is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Data Coordinator, and behavior science educator with over a decade of experience in behavioral analysis. Although her career has centered on supporting autistic individuals and their families, her passion extends far beyond the clinic.She is fascinated by human behavior in all its forms: from habits and motivation to relationships, health, marketing, and the environments that shape our everyday decisions. Christina believes that behavior science shouldn't be reserved for textbooks or therapy sessions. It should be something everyone can understand and use.Through education, conversation, and practical application, her mission is to make behavior science more accessible and show that every behavior has a function.—Follow Christina!Instagram: @function.behavioralTikTok: @function.behavioral—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Review our show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read excerpts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠from the episode on my websiteBehavior Bites is hosted by Rosie Jeffers, MAT, BCBA, LABAChat with me on Instagram!— ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rosie.eats.bx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn how I can help you at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rosiebx.com
