About this listen

 defy is all about sharing stories of women and how they've defied the odds, persevered through incredible circumstances, and transformed their lives. Is this a show about perfection? Nope, ‘cause that doesn't exist. Is this a show full of empty self-help quotes for you to put on your IG? Hell no, that ain't our style. This is a show about breaking the rules, creating your own path and being your true self. Well-behaved women rarely make history...so let's get out there and DEFY!Sarah Trautman Social Sciences

    Episode 28: It all started with Ralston's Drug Store & Chaka Khan...
    Jun 30 2021
    Mandy Ralston has been in the field of Behavior Analysis so long she used to mail VHS tapes to her mentor, Dr. Vince Carbone, to have him provide her with feedback (true story). Growing up the youngest of 4 children in a small West Virginia town helped Mandy realize 2 things pretty early in life - that she wanted to have more autonomy and choice as soon as possible and coming out in West Virginia was not going to be easy. So, Mandy moved to Kentucky to live as her authentic self, discovered Behavior Analysis in her early 20s and started her own company (twice). Learn how Mandy was able to navigate the rapidly changing behavioral health landscape in Kentucky, when Mandy realized she couldn’t take her company any further and why she’s determined to help BCBAs make better clinical decisions using the power of technology. But most importantly learn how Mandy has continued to do ALL of this without losing her dope sense of style, her sense of self and her commitment to helping folks with autism live their best lives.

    Episode 26: The Possibility is ALWAYS YES
    Jun 16 2021

    Zahra Hajiaghamohseni believes that anything is possible if you are truly passionate about the work that you do (and are willing to work really REALLY hard, ask questions and find great mentors). Zahra has applied this positive attitude to her work. She founded 2 companies, completed her PhD in Behavior Analysis (it took 10-years, but who cares) and STILL loves what she does. Zahra also believes in being willing to tackle hard problems. She’s chosen to tackle the problem of insufficient numbers of quality field supervisors in Behavior Analysis. Hear how she’s proposing that this issue can be solved, why professionals should get involved in their state association and how being a part of the defy community has been life changing for her!
