What happens when behavior science meets mediumship? In this thought-provoking episode of the ABA Mom Podcast, I sit down with psychic medium Sean Michael Rutherford to explore the intersection of psychology, belief systems, spirituality, grief, and human behavior. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I approach this conversation through the lens of applied behavior analysis (ABA), critical thinking, and curiosity — asking how reinforcement history, perception, learning, and lived experience shape what we believe and how we behave. We discuss: Mediumship and personal spiritual experiences Behavior science and belief formation Grief, coping, and meaning-making How environment and reinforcement shape perception Science vs spirituality — can they coexist? Whether you’re a behavior analyst, ABA professional, autism parent, psychology student, spiritually curious listener, or simply love deep conversations, this episode invites respectful dialogue and open-minded exploration.

Adults have tantrums too… and no one talks about it. 👀

In this episode of ABA Mom, we break down what’s really happening when grown adults melt down — from a behavior science perspective. Using the powerful “Let Them” theory and the science behind the 6-second emotional chemical burst, you’ll learn how to stop reinforcing adult tantrums and start regulating yourself instead.

If you’ve ever dealt with: ✔️ A reactive partner ✔️ Workplace drama ✔️ Family conflict ✔️ Or your own emotional spirals

This episode will give you practical, science-backed tools to stay calm, detached, and in control. You’ll learn how to ride out emotional waves, understand the function of behavior, and respond instead of react.

Because emotional maturity isn’t about never feeling — it’s about choosing your behavior after the first six seconds.
