Episode 1: Breaking Through Imposter Syndrome
Season 1 · Episode 2
mercredi 25 juin 2025 • Duration 31:42
Feeling like a fraud despite your accomplishments? You’re not alone.
In this vulnerable and empowering episode, Sarah breaks down the psychology of imposter syndrome and how it shows up in every area of MindBodyBehavior—from supervision to health coaching to business building.
From her fear of public speaking in 2018 to launching this very podcast, Sarah shares how she learned to feel the fear and do it anyway.
In This Episode, Sarah Burby:
Defines imposter syndrome and why it intensifies with success
Breaks down the 5 types of imposter syndrome (and reveals her own struggles)
Shares her journey from vomiting before presentations to confidently hosting this podcast
Explains the “imposter loop” that traps us in perfectionism
Reveals why her mentor refused to review her course again (and how it changed everything)
Discusses how her upbringing shaped her adult relationship with achievement
Offers practical tools for making space for fear while still pursuing your dreams
The 5 Types of Imposter Syndrome:
The Perfectionist – Unrealistic standards, focus on flaws, avoids delegation
The Expert – Fear of being exposed, constantly chasing more training
The Soloist – Believes asking for help signals weakness
The Natural Genius – Expects to master things instantly, struggles when challenged
The Superwoman/Superman – Feels the need to excel in every life domain
Quotes From This Episode:
"Some days I wake up and I’m ready to freaking go. And some days I wake up and think—who put me in charge?"
"If I never did the thing that made me scared and uncomfortable, who knows where I’d be today?"
"If I said yes to this right now, I’d be reinforcing your behavior of seeking approval from me. It’s good enough. You know it’s good enough."
"I need to do this thing that feels wildly uncomfortable… because I know I need to get at least decent at public speaking."
"When was the last time you looked back at something you did well and just said: yeah. I did that?"
Sarah’s 5-Step Challenge:
After this episode, challenge yourself to:
Define imposter syndrome in your own words
Identify all the areas where it shows up in your life
Map out your personal “imposter loop”
Choose one scary thing to do this week—and visualize the outcome
Celebrate one thing you’re proud of from the past week

Episode 29: Money Mindset: Rewriting Your Money Story
mercredi 11 mars 2026 • Duration 26:14
In this episode, Sarah kicks off Money Mindset March with a powerful question:
Do you actually have a money problem… or do you have a money story problem?
So many people believe they struggle with money because there simply isn’t enough of it. But Sarah challenges that idea and explores how the real issue is often the stories and beliefs we carry about money—many of which were formed early in life without us even realizing it.
Sarah shares personal experiences from growing up in a middle-class household where negative messages about wealth were common, and how those early narratives shaped her adult relationship with money. She explains how beliefs about money are often learned through observation, reinforced through emotional experiences, and carried into adulthood as if they were facts.
Throughout the episode, Sarah breaks down how to identify your own money stories, where they might have come from, and how those beliefs could be influencing your decisions around work, business, and self-worth.
If you’ve ever felt guilt for wanting more money, struggled to advocate for yourself financially, or worried that wealth might change who you are, this episode invites you to question those assumptions and begin rewriting your story.
In This Episode Sarah Discusses…
- How many “money problems” are actually belief and story problems
- How childhood experiences and family narratives shape your relationship with money
- Common money stories like “money is hard to keep,” “money is selfish,” or “money causes stress”
- Why guilt and shame around wanting money are often learned—not inherently yours
- The exercise “Money is…” to uncover the beliefs running your financial decisions
- How fear of judgment or rejection can keep you from asking for raises, pricing confidently, or pursuing opportunities
- Why people often undervalue themselves or self-sabotage when financial success becomes possible
- How money acts as an amplifier of your character rather than something that changes who you are
- The importance of creating new evidence to challenge old financial beliefs
- Small actions that help break money blocks and build confidence around earning and receiving more
Quotes from This Episode
- “Most of the time when we think we have a money problem, we actually have a money story problem.”
- “Money stories are usually written early in life—and most of the time we don’t even realize we’re living inside them.”
- “Wanting money does not make you a bad person. It makes you a human living in a world where money matters.”
- “Money doesn’t change who you are. It amplifies who you already are.”
- “You probably didn’t choose the money story you were handed—but now you get to choose what you do with it.”
Your Action Step
Start by uncovering your money story.
Complete this sentence five times without overthinking it:
“Money is…”
Write down the first responses that come to mind.
Then ask yourself:
Which response feels the most emotionally charged?
Who taught me this belief about money?
Is this actually a fact—or just a story I’ve been carrying?
Finally, notice where this belief might be showing up in your behavior—whether that’s avoiding raises, undercharging in your business, staying in an unfulfilling job, or feeling guilty for wanting more.
You may not have chosen the money story you were given.
But once you see it clearly, you can start rewriting it.

Episode 28: What Do You Really Want? Inner Truths
mardi 3 mars 2026 • Duration 22:13
In this episode, Sarah asks the question she returns to over and over again—in her own life and inside the MindBody Behavior community:
What do you really want?
Not what sounds responsible. Not what fits the timeline. Not what looks good on paper. Not what makes you appear like the “good” professional, partner, parent, or friend.
What do you actually want?
Sarah unpacks the difference between conditional desires (the ones shaped by society, family, praise, and fear of disappointment) and intrinsic desires (the ones that feel alive, expansive, and deeply yours). She explores why so many high-achieving people hit goals and feel relief instead of fulfillment—and how to tell whether you’re moving toward something meaningful or just running away from something uncomfortable.
If you’ve been feeling apathetic, stuck, or quietly unfulfilled—even though your life “looks good” from the outside—this episode is your invitation to get radically honest.
In This Episode Sarah Discusses…
- The difference between conditional wants (outside-in) and intrinsic wants (inside-out)
- Why achieving the “right” goals can still leave you feeling empty
- The body-based cue: does this desire feel expansive or contracted?
- The question: “If no one ever knew I did this, would I still want it?”
- How we confuse clarity with certainty—and why certainty isn’t required
- The permission trap: whose approval are you still waiting for?
- Why arbitrary timelines (“by this age I should…”) quietly run your life
- Moving toward something vs. running away from something—and how they can look identical
- Her own evolution around money, financial freedom, and releasing shame
- Why dreaming feels hard when you’ve trained yourself not to want too much
Quotes from This Episode
- “What do you really want—not what feels responsible—but what do you actually want?”
- “Relief means I finally did what I was supposed to do. Aliveness feels like expansion.”
- “Clarity comes from moving, not from standing there trying to think harder.”
- “You don’t need certainty. You need honesty.”
- “You don’t need permission. You’re allowed to want what you want.”
Your Action Step
- Pick one area of your life—work, relationships, health, lifestyle—and ask yourself:
- If no one would ever know I did this… would I still want it?
- Notice what happens in your body when you imagine having it. Expansion? Contraction? Relief? Aliveness?
- Then ask: Am I moving toward something meaningful—or just trying to escape something else?
- You don’t need a five-year plan.
- You don’t need certainty.
- You don’t need permission.
- You just need to start telling yourself the truth.

Episode 19: What energy are you attracting?
Season 1 · Episode 19
mardi 28 octobre 2025 • Duration 18:00
ABA Redefined - Episode 19: The Energy You Keep - Who’s Shaping Your Reality’
Release Date: 10/29/2025
Duration: 18 minutes
Host: Sarah Burby, BCBA, Founder of MindBodyBehavior
Episode Description
Your circle isn't just nice to have—it's literally shaping who you're becoming. In this raw and energizing episode, Sarah gets real about the invisible power of the people you surround yourself with and why "your vibe attracts your tribe" isn't just a cute saying. From mastermind groups that blow her ceiling off to draining relationships she had to step back from, Sarah breaks down how to audit your inner circle and intentionally curate the energy that will unleash (not limit) your potential.
In this Episode Sarah Discusses...
Why the upcoming MindBodyBehavior retreat has her so amped she can't sleep until 2 AM
The two types of people: those who lift you up and those who drain your energy
How her mastermind group destroys limiting beliefs about what's possible
The neuroscience behind it: state-dependent memory and how your emotional state shapes what you learn and recall
Thinking about growth like shaping successive approximations in ABA terms
Quotes From This Episode
"Who we keep in our inner circle is literally who is shaping who we become. And I think that a lot of people really underestimate that."
"If they can do it, why can't I do that? Maybe I've been selling myself short for X amount of years. Maybe I'm much more capable than what I've been doing and what I've let myself believe."
"Can you imagine what would happen if you started believing in yourself as fiercely as you've been clinging onto your excuses, as fiercely as you've been doubting yourself?"
"Your energy is so precious. I just need you to understand that, and it's up to you to be intentional as hell about who and what you allow into your space."
"The world needs you to stop playing small. It needs you to stop hiding your magic and stop believing the BS about who you can't be."
"I am deliberate about my influences. I surround myself with people who believe boldly and move bravely. I choose energy that unleashes my potential, not limits it."
This Week's Challenge
Audit your top five influences - people, social media accounts, podcasts. What energy are they amplifying in you?
Have one conversation about an energy-draining dynamic. How could you realign it with compassion?
Invite one person into your circle who embodies the energy you want to grow. Tell them why.
Notice how your potential expands when you do this work.

Episode 18: Logic vs. Emotion
Season 1 · Episode 18
mardi 21 octobre 2025 • Duration 26:07
Sarah gets brutally honest about the skill that took years and multiple coaches to master: responding from logic instead of emotion. After noticing patterns of emotional responses from others in recent months, she shares the neuroscience behind why our brains hijack us, how to spot emotional vs. logical responses (in yourself and others), and practical strategies she uses to avoid relationship-destroying reactions. Plus, her confession about what triggers her emotional responses most (spoiler: it involves lunch).
In This Episode, Sarah Discusses...
The amygdala hijack: Why your logical brain literally goes offline when triggered
Clear signs someone (including you) is responding emotionally vs. logically
How to respond when others are coming at you emotionally
- Three questions to ask before hitting send on any response
- The acceptance piece: sitting with discomfort instead of reactive responding
Quotes from This Episode
- "By the time your logical brain even knows something happened, your emotional brain has already decided to do its own response."
- "We all know those phrases, right? They're professional ways to say, I'm basically really pissed off, and I want you to know it without me actually saying I'm pissed off."
- "Our first gut response in those situations is usually not the most helpful. The one that comes after we pause, when we sleep, when we eat - that usually solves problems and builds relationships."
Action Steps & Takeaways
- Track your emotional response patterns using the ABC model (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence)
- Implement the HALT check before responding to triggering situations
- Practice the 12-24 hour rule on one small trigger this week
- Ask yourself: "Am I trying to be right, or am I trying to solve the problem?"
- Use incompatible behaviors (walking, breathing exercises) to prevent emotional responding

Episode 17: Fear of Judgment and the Spotlight Effect
Season 1 · Episode 17
mercredi 15 octobre 2025 • Duration 18:05
In this deeply personal episode, Sarah tackles one of the most universal struggles we all face: the paralyzing fear of what other people think.
Drawing from her own journey of putting herself out there on social media and building her business, Sarah explores the psychological research behind the "Spotlight Effect" — the cognitive bias that makes us think people are paying way more attention to us than they actually are.
She shares vulnerable stories about posting her success story, dealing with public criticism, and the moment she realized she's "not that important" (in the most liberating way possible). Sarah challenges behavior analysts specifically to examine how their fear of judgment keeps them playing small, diluting their message, and missing opportunities for growth.
This episode is a powerful reminder that being judged is survivable, that authenticity matters more than perfection, and that your people are looking for the real you — not a sanitized, people-pleasing version. If you've been holding yourself back because you're worried about criticism, this episode will inspire you to live life "hot pink and sparkly" instead of beige and invisible.

Quotes from This Episode
"We think people are noticing us twice as much as they actually are. And we walk around, we're convinced, everyone's watching us, everyone's judging us, everyone's forming opinions about every little thing that we do, and the truth is, most people are too busy worrying about what everyone thinks about them."
"I'm actually not that important, and I mean that in the most liberating way possible. Most people are not just sitting around thinking about me at all times."
"Just because it feels dangerous, does not mean it's actually dangerous. So your feelings are valid. I will never discredit that. Your feelings are valid. But, they're not always accurate predictors of your reality."
"The only way that we will guarantee that we'll never be criticized is to never do anything, never say anything, never try anything... And I sure am hell not living my life like that. You know how I want to live my life? Hot pink, and sparkly."
"If you try to be for everyone, you're gonna end up being for no one. You become this watered-down version of yourself."
"You can't grow if you're not willing to be bad at things first. You can't learn if you're not willing to make mistakes."
"You could be safe from criticism, but you're also safe from progress."
"The people who matter will not judge you for being human. And the people who judge you for being human do not matter."

Episode 16: Stop Living for the Weekend
Season 1 · Episode 16
mercredi 8 octobre 2025 • Duration 21:38
Are you spending 45-55 hours per week just waiting for Friday to arrive?
In this eye-opening episode, Sarah breaks down the actual math of living for the weekend and challenges the normalized belief that work is supposed to drain us.
She shares her personal journey from experiencing Sunday scaries and counting down to Friday, to genuinely looking forward to Mondays.
If you're stuck in the cycle of tolerating Monday through Friday just to enjoy 32 waking hours on the weekend, this episode will help you rethink what's possible for your career and your life.

Quotes from This Episode
"The math is telling us that we're spending the majority of our conscious existence just waiting. Waiting around for Friday. Waiting around for vacation, waiting around for retirement, waiting around to actually start living our lives, and I don't know about you, but I was not okay with that."
"When we feel that Sunday scares, our body is trying to tell us, like, hey, something's not aligning here, something's not right."
"Your life is not something that starts when you clock out on Friday. Your life is happening right now, all of it, including Monday through Friday."
"You deserve to be excited about your life, not just 32 hours on the weekend, but all of it. You deserve work that fuels your soul, or at least doesn't actively deplete it."
"When we accept that work is supposed to suck, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When we decide that our weekday hours are just as valuable as our weekend hours, when we start protecting our energy and pursuing work that actually matters to us, things start to shift."
