What I Wish I Knew as a Mom Before ABA

Episode 56: What I Wish I Knew as a Mom Before ABA

In this episode of the ABA Mom Podcast, I’m getting real about my journey as a young mom before I understood behavior the way I do now. I became a BCBA in 2020, but long before that, I was 19, overwhelmed, and doing the best I could—with a lot of yelling, time-outs, and trying to “win” every moment.

Now, with my oldest graduating high school, I’m reflecting on what I didn’t understand back then… and what I would do differently today.

This episode is for the moms in the thick of it—the ones who feel like every behavior is a battle, every moment matters, and every mistake weighs heavy.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The reality of parenting before understanding behavior
  • Why I used to rely on yelling and time-outs
  • The biggest mindset shift ABA taught me
  • Why not every moment is a hill to die on
  • How connection changes everything
  • Letting go of mom guilt and growing through it

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure if you’re “doing it right,” this episode is for you.

You’re not alone—and you’re allowed to grow.
