Off Duty

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 now.

As a user of social media from the start, a teacher, and a mother, we can all agree how social media has for sure taken over.  The question is how much are you willing to sacrifice or give up for it?  There are for sure perks when it comes to all the platforms offered and I myself promote on all of them, but what about the newest trends on social media when it comes to perfection and fla...

Social Media - The Teenage Perspective 26.05.2019

Social Media for me hit when I was in college and in order to access Facebook, I needed my college email account.  Today I am pretty sure 10 year olds are up and on it better than myself.  So as a teacher and a mom, I am trying to wrap my head around why instead of just assuming.  It's so easy to just say that it is trendy or you just want the "likes" but is it really. I sat down with my brothers...

Off Duty EP2: My Amateur Moment 05.05.2019

So... last week we issued out the first episode of Off Duty, however I may have forgotten to take care of the mic input.  I KNOW!!!
