Welcome to season two of Playgrounds and Paychecks, where we get up close and personal with the realities of parental leave. This episode unravels my own experiences of navigating through parental leave twice while teaching. I discuss my leave being unpaid time off, crafting substitute plans, dealing with Covid right after my first born, and more.

Ultimately, I decided to find work that allowed more quality time with my children. Now, I'm on a mission to help others navigate this tough journey, equipping you with practical tips, tricks, and stories from working parents.
