  • Burning That Bridge

    The influence came from a simple and short quote I read that spoke so loudly... it literally was what I needed to hear years ago, but makes so much sense now!


    Lets chat!

  • This IS hard work!

    A new milestone was met...and it wasn't luck! It was hard work, my time, my effort, my talent, and all that goes with making things happen.

    Forever grateful for those that join me on my journey!

  • Ed Tech Queen is Present Today!

    It wasn't long ago that I was in my classroom earning acceptance into the Pear Deck program to help create a gamified learning experience. In that process I met someone with immense passion and determination when it came to following one's dream.

    Meet Amber, the once educator now wearing purple and hanging with all the cool kids over at MagicSchool AI. She is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the ed tech game!

    So join us this week as we get to know more about Amber AND of course why she is sometimes referred to as the snack lady.


    You can follow Amber on Instagram:

  • Sweet Tea Turned Black!

    Making claims, calling out, or posting on social media... you better come with accountability for your actions, your words, or intentions!

    If you follow me you know of the recent post I made about my OCD and one of the behaviors for me is organization has to be perfect, my way, not messy. This stems from many years of things, but guess what I do not have to do... TELL YOU EVERY INCH OF IT, SHOW YOU A DIAGNOSIS, OR DISCLOSE ANYMORE...

    The world wants to shout out that they are all about acceptance and this one situation just showed me how sure, only if it fits their narrative... yeah well blocked, peace out... GO AWAY with yourself...also yes they deleted and apologized ...

    So yeah join me for the story and how my sweet tea just turned black!

  • What Do I Have To Lose?

    Nothing.. just do it.

    There are so many moments in life that you can, so why wait. Jump, leap, fall down and do it again...lets just do it.

    I mean that's what I am doing anyway.

  • #MomLife NOT #MomShaming

    Imagine getting behind your keyboard or phone and mom shaming a mom who is doing their best. Imagine writing something that you know nothing about.

    We don't need to imagine because it happens and honestly its sad!

    Who does that anyway...this is why if you mom shame YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US... if you didn't and never will...

    Welcome to Off Duty!

    This week's guest is a returning guest with a real LI accent that is not afraid to share the real and unedited life she loves to live... this is Ashely.

    When I met my husband he told me he was one age, which for sure wasn't the truth.. but really it's just a number.

  • If you're happy and you know it...

    What makes you have a true Off Duty moment that not only allows you to be alone, but also not have to shove that oreo in your mouth before you get judged OR a little kid comes a running?


    This is Off Duty today as we navigate what that means using a childhood classic!

About Off Duty

From the publisher's feed

Back in 2019, I started this podcast because moms don’t get enough off-duty time. I’m a mama, a case manager and this is where the hats come off and we say the quiet part out loud. Off Duty starts…
