Podcasts about former teacher

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a company decides HR experience doesn't actually matter?In this episode of Jaded HR, Warren and CeeCee dive headfirst into the frustrating reality of how many organizations still view HR as little more than paperwork, party planning, and administrative busywork.The conversation starts with a real-world story that'll make HR professionals cringe: a small company passes over an internal employee with an HR degree for an HR opening… and hires a former school teacher with zero HR experience instead. Why? Because leadership viewed the role as “mostly administrative.” Warren and CeeCee unpack the deeper issue behind decisions like this — the ongoing devaluation of HR expertise and the dangerous assumption that “anyone can do HR.”From there, things spiral beautifully into discussions about: companies replacing CHROs with “Chiefs of Staff”  why succession planning can backfire when nobody retires  retaining ambitious employees in small organizations  the emotional toll of career stagnation  why great employees eventually outgrow some companies  Walmart's latest accommodation lawsuit disaster  and SHRM's absolutely wild 2026 conference pricing The SHRM rant alone is worth the listen. Warren and CeeCee break down the jaw-dropping cost of attending the national conference, debate whether modern HR professionals still need organizations like SHRM, and question whether niche experts and social media creators are replacing traditional HR associations entirely.There's also: Costco vs. Sam's Club suburban warfare  forklift certification anxiety  Pokémon Go bonding moments  pool season HOA drama  thunderstorms as sleep therapy  and enough cynical HR commentary to power an entire leadership retreat. If you've ever wondered whether companies truly understand the value of HR — this episode answers that question loudly and painfully.Topics Covered HR leadership  CHRO trends  HR career growth  succession planning  employee retention  SHRM conference 2026  HR certifications  workplace accommodations  Walmart lawsuit  HR burnout  talent development  organizational culture  HR professional development  cynical HR stories  Human Resources podcast Support the showWant to:* Share a dumb employee question* Share a crazy story* Ask us a question* Share a  best practice * Give us feedbackOur Link Tree below has links to our social media sites,  Patreon, Apple podcasts, Spotify & more.Please leave a review on your favorite podcast player and interact with us online!Linktree - https://linktr.ee/jadedhrFollow Cee Cee on IG - BoozyHR @ https://www.instagram.com/boozy_hr/

What happens when life completely falls apart — and you still have to show up for your kids? This week Cheryl sits down with Barbara, a former special education teacher turned homeschool mom of four, who opens up about one of the hardest questions in homeschooling: what do you do when you're grieving?After years of fighting the school system for resources her students deserved, Barbara knew she didn't want that for her own kids. She pulled them out, ditched the rigid curriculum, and built something that actually works for her spicy, high-energy family.In this episode:Why connection over perfection changed everything for her familyHow she homeschools four kids aged 5–12 using interest-led unit studiesWhat homeschooling through the loss of her mother actually looked likeSouth Carolina's homeschool options and fundingWhy socialization was never actually a problemBarbara also shares her memoir and upcoming Bible study guide for homeschooling through grief — because sometimes life takes the rug out from under you, and you still have to be there for your family.Connect with Barbara here:  https://a.co/d/0bMqCMiqBarbara's Instagram

Cheryl sits down with Katie Vieira — a former 4th grade teacher turned homeschool mom — to talk about what surprised her most when she stepped outside the traditional school system. They unpack how early academic pressure has changed, why many kids feel burnout younger than ever, and how standardized testing and school accountability can shape what happens in the classroom (and the stress teachers carry).They also dive into the real-life side of homeschooling: finding community, handling seasons where screens sneak in more than you planned, keeping reading and learning positive when kids resist “lessons,” and the ongoing challenge of balancing motherhood with creative work and personal goals. Katie shares about her children's book “Into the Field: Tennessee Summer,” inspired by shifting away from screen-heavy days and toward outdoor adventures, confidence-building, and learning through experience — plus what's next in her planned series.In this episode, we cover:Katie's path from certified teacher to homeschool momWhy kindergarten/early elementary standards feel so intense nowStandardized testing pressure (and how it can impact teachers)Lockdown drills, school anxiety, and what parents weigh in their choicesScreen time seasons, outdoor resets, and the “thousand hours outside” ideaHomeschool balance: work, creativity, and family rhythmsColorado homeschool options and one-day-a-week enrichment programsHow to keep learning positive when kids push backLinks & resources mentioned: Katie Vieira + Into the Field: Tennessee SummerKatie's Instagram 

I'm re-releasing this episode because it's still one of my all-time favorites—and honestly, one of the conversations that stayed with me long after we hit stop on the recording. In this episode, I'm joined by Kiri Jorgensen, a former public school teacher in rural Montana and mom of four. Kiri shares what she saw changing inside the school system—from Common Core and high-stakes testing to increasing bureaucracy—and why her family chose to homeschool their youngest child after experiencing both public school and homeschooling.We also get practical: Kiri explains a simple framework that helps parents homeschool with confidence—separating “learning” (reading, writing, math) from “learning about” (curiosity-led unit studies). She shares her favorite strategy (the “curiosity jar”) to turn your child's questions into meaningful learning without recreating school at home.Finally, Kiri talks about her work as the founder of Chicken Scratch Books, a publisher creating clean, traditional middle grade fiction for families who want books they can trust.In this episode, we cover:Why Kiri left teaching and what she noticed shifting in schoolsCommon Core, testing pressure, and how it affects classroomsWhy homeschooling can take less time and lead to deeper learningThe “curiosity jar” method for interest-led homeschoolingBuilding lifelong learners and confident, capable kidsChicken Scratch Books and choosing better middle grade readsGuest: Kiri Jorgensen Website: chickenscratchbooks.comFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode:

A former public school teacher never planned to homeschool — until COVID forced a hard reset. In this episode, Cheryl talks with Janae Daniels from the School to Homeschool Podcast about the moment everything changed: the “magical” 2020 shutdown, the surprising nudge to homeschool, and the first day that completely fell apart… until a piano tuner accidentally delivered the best real-life science lesson her kids had ever experienced.Janae shares what deschooling actually looks like (and why it's harder for parents than kids), how she stopped trying to replicate school at home, and what happened when her children finally had room for boredom, curiosity, and real learning: guitar skills built through YouTube lessons, reading for meaning (not grades), embroidery that turned into paid work, early jobs, business books, conferences, and a senior year centered on debate, confidence, and entrepreneurship.If you're thinking, “I'm not smart enough,” “My kids will fight me,” or “Is it too late to start homeschooling — especially for middle and high school?” this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a new definition of education.Connect with Janae:InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode:

What does it actually take to go from scattered coach speaking "too coachy" to confidently attracting dream clients everywhere you go? Former teacher Ana Cortes-Holbert reveals exactly how she tripled her coaching income after getting crystal clear on WHO she serves and HOW to talk about it. No complicated funnels. No paid ads. Just authentic conversations that convert.

What you need is clarity, confidence, and the courage to have authentic conversations about what you do.

A 15-year-old boy came forward this past spring, and now 6 months later at least 10 underage boys have told similar accounts of being drugged, forced into sexual acts and threatened with violence. To make matters worse, Fortinberry’s husband apparently knew what was going on has been charged with intimidation and failure to report a crime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when you choose to step away from mainstream expectations and reclaim your family's destiny? Mary Wainwright's journey from conventional life to intentional living offers a roadmap for those feeling trapped in industrial systems.Mary returns to share insights from her new book "Taking Back My Life," which chronicles her radical transformation across every aspect of family living. She takes us through the stark contrast between her traumatic hospital birth and her subsequent empowering home births, revealing how this experience catalyzed her entire lifestyle shift. Rather than presenting her choices as the "right way," Mary simply illuminates alternatives many families never consider.The conversation explores how modern society has systematically disconnected us from fundamental knowledge in just one or two generations. From growing food to understanding natural remedies, we've surrendered our self-sufficiency to systems that often prioritize profit over wellbeing. Mary shares practical steps anyone can take - starting a small garden, learning to make bone broth, or questioning medical interventions - that gradually build toward greater independence.Perhaps most powerful is Mary's reflection on community building. She describes creating a "tribe" where families barter skills, share resources, and collectively raise children. This interdependence makes sustainable living not just possible but deeply fulfilling, addressing the isolation that drove many women away from traditional roles decades ago.The conversation continually returns to fear as the controlling mechanism that keeps us compliant within industrial systems. By recognizing this pattern and making intentional choices about time, education, health, and community, Mary demonstrates how families can create lives aligned with their deepest values rather than external expectations. Her parting question resonates: "Are you living the life you want your children to replicate?"Ready to reclaim aspects of your family's life?
