Behavior Bites
Behavior Bites talks to professionals in the fields of behavior analysis, psychology, education, and beyond, about who they are and what got them here. Feeling connected can be hard when you’re always pouring into others, commuting between houses, and battling impostor syndrome and burnout. My goal is to build a community around a virtual dining table, so pull up a seat with Rosie Eats.
