How to Make Your Workplace Not Suck - Katie O'Malley

How to Make Your Workplace Not Suck - Katie O'Malley

You think you're a good listener. You're not. Executive coach and TEDx speaker Katie O'Malley joins Liat to break down why most of us are performing listening instead of actually doing it, and what that's costing us at work and in life. Katie shares her journey from burnout to betting on herself, why your workplace might be making you sick, and how understanding what actually motivates your people can change everything. We put a behavioral lens on all of it, because it turns out listening isn't just a soft skill. It's a behavior, and you can learn it.

30 Years of Raising a Child with Autism with Liat's Mom: Melanie Sacks

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Liat brings on her mom, Melanie, for a raw convo about raising Liat’s brother who has autism and intellectual disabilities. They cover everything from public behavior incidents and Chuck E. Cheese trauma to marriage strain, group home fears, and the chaos of parenting before insurance-covered ABA and Facebook support groups even existed. Melanie opens up about the lifelong commitment and all the emotions that come with raising a child with ASD, and why he's been one of the greatest blessings of her life. This one will make you laugh, cry, call your mom, and maybe start filling out Medicaid waiver paperwork immediately.

Lessons from a Disabled Mother with Jessica Slice

Author and disability advocate Jessica Slice joins us to talk about chronic illness, perfectionism, parenting with a disability, and why she refuses to let anyone else write her narrative. Jessica shares her journey becoming a wheelchair user and mother, and why becoming disabled made her a better parent, not an unfit one. We get into the legal reality that in 22 states a child can be removed from a home based solely on a parent's disability, the beautiful and unconventional way Jessica became a mom through foster care, and how letting go of perfectionism changed everything in her relationship, her parenting, and her sense of self-worth. You don’t want to miss this.

Is Sex Addiction A Real Thing? with Dr. Rob Weiss

Sex addiction is real, but most people don’t actually understand what it is. This week, Liat sits down with renowned therapist and author Dr. Rob Weiss (Seeking Integrity, Sex Addiction 101) to break down compulsive sexual behavior and why it’s now recognized as CSBD. They unpack the signs, the stigma, the role of shame, and what real intimacy actually looks like.
