Pairing Gone Wrong | Episode 9: The Emotional Cost of Leadership 🎙️

Everyone wants to be a leader, but are we talking enough about what leadership actually costs?

In this episode, we’re getting into the messy, uncomfortable, and often unspoken side of leadership. From the emotional weight of being responsible for others to the expectations placed on leaders to always have it together, we’re unpacking what happens behind the scenes.

We dive into vulnerability in leadership, the double standards men and women face, and the emotional support employees expect from their leaders. How vulnerable is too vulnerable? Are leaders responsible for managing everyone’s emotions? And why is the same leadership behavior praised in men but criticized in women?

We’re challenging expectations, sharing perspectives, and asking the uncomfortable question: Who supports the people expected to support everyone else?

As always, expect honest conversations, unpopular opinions, and a little chaos.

🎙️ Pairing Gone Wrong | Episode 8: CPT Codes, Conspiracies & Bear Jerky

New ABA CPT codes have been announced, and naturally, we have questions. In this episode, we dive into the changes, the clarity we’re hoping for, and what it could all mean for the ABA field.

But in true Pairing Gone Wrong fashion, we couldn’t stay on topic. 😂 Between catching up, conspiracy theories, bear hunts, and somehow bear jerky, this episode took a few unexpected turns.

A little ABA, a little chaos, and a whole lot of unfiltered conversation.

Don’t take us serious. 🎙️

Pairing Gone Wrong: Can BCBAs Work on Feeding?

Can BCBAs ethically and competently work on feeding, or are we drawing lines based more on professional territory than actual scope of competence? In this episode of Pairing Gone Wrong, we unpack the controversy surrounding The Radical BCBA’s feeding assessment and the response it has received from professionals across disciplines. Rather than critically evaluating what the assessment is designed to measure, how it is intended to be used, and where appropriate collaboration or referral fits in, some of the conversation has turned into attacks on BCBAs and ABA as a field. We’re getting into interdisciplinary collaboration, when BCBAs should step in or step out, and why professional disagreement should involve a lot more critical thinking and a lot less tearing each other down.
