The Systems Every Burned-Out BCBA Needs with Dani Galvez

67% of behavior analysts report being burned out, and Sarah wanted to know why, and what actually fixes it. In this episode, Sarah sits down with Daniella "Dani" Galvez Moreno, a fellow BCBA and founder of Self Set Go, the only conference built specifically around self-care and systems for behavior analysts, to talk about pivoting without shame, building something from scratch with zero experience, and why your nervous system deserves its own system too.

In this episode, Sarah chats with Dani about:

• Why 67% of behavior analysts report being burned out, and what that says about the field as a whole

• Why pivoting your business idea, sometimes more than once, is a sign of growth, not a red flag

• Dani's own path from quitting the clinical side of ABA, to solo world travel, to building a conference with zero experience

• This year's Self Set Go theme, and why it centers on real systems for both your professional and personal life

• Why nervous system regulation earned its own pre-event workshop, and why grad school never taught any of it

• The one-degree airplane metaphor that reframes what "changing your life" actually looks like

If you've been feeling the burnout Dani and Sarah talk about, or you've ever been scared to pivot publicly, this episode is the permission and the roadmap in one conversation.
