Let's be honest—teachers are absolute pros at showing up for everyone else… but not always for themselves. In this episode of the This Teacher Life podcast, we're breaking down three hilarious but totally real reasons why it's time to take that mental health sick day—without the guilt, the fear, or the “but what about my sub plans?” panic spiral. From the chaos that happens when you try to “power through,” to the magic of doing absolutely nothing for your sanity, this one's a mix of laughs, truth, and much-needed permission to rest. Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is… call in sick! PS- One of the reasons is adorable, one of the reasons is controversial, and one of the reasons is absolutely embarrassing and ridiculous!

Hope you are mentally hungry, because I'm unloading a lot of food for thought. Greg and I were in the car discussing the perception of a vacation vs. a trip. And that of course led to the time you take off for said vacation/trip. And that got me thinking overall about how transformational this summer is going to be for me. Good news! You have a front seat to all of it! Vacation vs. a Trip Ok, so we're in the car talking about vacations vs. trips. And Greg joked "You never take vacations." And he's kind of right because in my life I guess I couldn't really take a vacation. When I was a stay at home mom, we just went to FL. I didn't have to submit vacation time. As a teacher, I just always worked and thought of summer as my vacation time. If you are a teacher you know it's quite the contrary!! And when we do go to FL I do more work than at home. I turn into a 1950's wife so Greg can fully enjoy his vacation. And I love doing that for him and the kids. Greg thinks it's a vacation because he's with his family, gets to go fishing, and go to the beach. I will say London felt like a vacation to me. We had no expectations, I didn't do any laundry or cooking, and we had fun. When my parents took us to Disney, we attended an art class. Yep, went to Disney to attend school. But we took a lot of trips in my childhood where we learned about thing and places and now that's what I enjoy too. My trips feel like vacation more to me but again Greg jokes they are trips. But I do think in reflection of this summer being so transformational with the PhD coming to an end and Greg thinking about retirement, I'd like to go on more vacations. PTO, Sick Days, Retirement This led us to talking about PTO, sick days and Greg wanting to retire. His mom fell a little while back and he was the closest primary care giver. It was funny to watch him go through it. When you take someone else to the Dr. you should just take a half day and use your sick time. Greg was like "But I wasn't sick." Right but it was a medical appointment. I always took the kids to the dr. so Greg never had to think about that. Then he asked what exactly was PTO. So we talked about how many hours he has accrued and how neither of us take sick time or PTO. We are hearty and we work. But what about when Greg doesn't work and I still want to? Will I take advantage of some PTO? I don't know but these are questions I want to start asking myself as the household CEO. Welcome To My Transformational Summer I took advantage of a lot of planned neglect and worked a lot of hours pursuing my PhD. Now that it's done, I want to decide what things I will let back in or not. There will be a lot of open time now and I want to think about how I will use that time. I decided on one thing and that was my Paper Solution™ Binders. I feel like I neglected them a little so I'd like to really spend time getting them up to par. I never did the workbooks so I am doing them now. Before the PhD Abby was pregnant, now she has two children. Greg wants to retire. All of this has financial implications on our budget. I feel like I need some CEO time. So I decided in the middle of the month I will set aside two hours to just think about our household financial goals and I came up with seven questions which will help me decide if I am taking care of me in a way that fills my cup so I can continue to take care of my house and family too. Yes, I am going to offer this "co-working" time once a month. You too deserve time to think without your family around. And you too deserve time to take care of things for your household manager responsibilities that need to be done Monday- Friday, 9am -5pm. I want this household CEO time, to be a time for you to be able to really think through your household management, through a leadership lens, to make sure that you are stewarding all of the resources you have, well. And that you are taking care of yourself so you can be of service to all of those around you, for as long as possible, and in the best health as possible. I hope you'll join me June 15th from 9am - 11am. EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?

Have you ever thought, “I want more time for fun with my kids,” and then immediately felt tired? Fun sounds beautiful, but in real life it can start to feel like one more thing to plan, one more thing to pay for, one more thing to clean up, and one more thing to manage. In this episode, I'm talking about simple joys for real-life motherhood — the kind that fit real budgets, real energy levels, real homes, and real family seasons. I share a few ways our family has been finding small moments of connection lately, from discount movie dates with one child, to a paint-by-number project on the table, to walks, read-alouds, audiobooks, and family room time. And I want to be clear: fun does not always have to become a lesson. Sometimes learning is found in the fun, and homeschool moms can record those things later if they want to. But sometimes the gift is simply being together. If you've been wanting more fun with your kids but you do not have the energy for a big plan, this episode will help you look for one small thing that fits your real life.

In 2027, Germany will be introducing ‘partial' sick days, where employees can do as little as 25% of the day's work if they are ill. This is in order to curb record levels of sick day absences in the country. Should we introduce something similar here?Joining Seán to discuss is Alison Hodgson, Country Director for CIPD, the Professional Body for the World of Work.

In this episode of The Growing Readers Podcast, host Bianca Schulze sits down with award-winning author and illustrator Philip C. Stead to talk about A Potion, a Powder, a Little Bit of Magic: Or, Like Lightning in an Umbrella Storm, his uproarious debut middle grade novel from Neal Porter Books.Best known as the Caldecott Medal–honored creator behind the Amos McGee books, Philip shares what it felt like to step into the novelist's chair and why middle grade has always been the genre closest to his heart. He traces his love of books like The Phantom Tollbooth, The Westing Game, and Roald Dahl, and pulls back the curtain on his writing process—200 words a day, carved in stone—and the feedback that led him to tell Bernadette's story out of order.Whether you're a parent hunting for funny middle grade books for kids 9–12, an educator drawn to stories that trust young readers, or a writer curious about how a picture book creator builds his first novel, this episode is a celebration of heart, humor, and why every choice matters.Read the transcript on The Children's Book Review (coming soon).Highlights:From Picture Books to Middle Grade: Why Philip felt like an "imposter" stepping into the novelist's chair—and why middle grade has always been his first love as a readerThe Books That Made Him a Reader: How Roald Dahl, Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, and Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game shaped his sense of what a book can do200 Words a Day: Philip's deceptively simple writing practice and how he treated each word as if "carved in stone"The Out-of-Order Revelation: How one friend's honest feedback unlocked the book's unusual structure—and why he never looked backA Castle on 24 Goats: Where Bernadette, Adelbert the forgetful magician, and a Boat That Does Not Grant Wishes actually came from24 Chapters, 24 Morals: Why Philip gave himself this arbitrary boundary, and the throwaway phrase that became his favorite of them allHeart Over Cleverness: The guiding principle that kept the book from feeling "cute but dead"The Influence Nobody Knows: The lesser-known Norton Juster book Philip discovered at 19 that became the most important influence of his careerNotable Quotes:"A thing stored in the brain is never as important as a thing stored in the heart." — from A Potion, a Powder, a Little Bit of Magic"Cleverness belongs mostly to the maker and really can't belong much to the person experiencing the art. But heart really can." — Philip C. Stead"If you're a writer and you're listening to this, just figure out how you write and how you do it. How do you put one word in front of another, in front of another? And whatever that answer is, that's the right way to do it." — Philip C.

Does homeschooling your ADHD child sometimes feel like trying to herd cats? You start the day with a plan, but one child needs to move, another child forgets what you just said, someone needs a snack, someone cannot find a pencil, and suddenly nobody seems to be doing the thing they were supposed to be doing. In this episode, I'm talking about what to do when your ADHD child cannot seem to stay on task. Instead of treating every distraction like a homeschool disaster, we'll look at a simpler way to help your child return to learning with less shame and less pressure. This episode is for the homeschool mom who feels worn out from redirecting, reminding, repeating herself, and wondering why her child cannot “just finish the lesson.” You'll hear a calmer way to think about short lessons, movement, and small wins — especially for children who struggle with attention, task initiation, working memory, or staying seated for long stretches of time. Your homeschool does not have to look like a quiet classroom to be faithful and fruitful. Mentioned in this episode:Road Trip Mysteries: USA Edition — a screen-free, story-driven activity adventure book for kids ages 8–12, filled with puzzles, history, geography, clues, and mystery. It can be a gentle learning option for hard homeschool days when your child needs something meaningful that does not feel like another worksheet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGL7T6LH XOXO, Katie

In reality, it's often difficult, discouraged, or just not used at all.From teachers paying out of pocket for substitutes to cultural pressure to keep working no matter what, the system doesn't work the way it's supposed to.We also talk about a recent case that brought attention to the issue and why change may finally be coming.

A teacher writes in saying she had to be talked out of going into work while ill by her own partner. Not because she wanted to be there, but because calling in sick felt worse than just turning up. Dylan and Hayden know exactly what that feels like, and this one opens a conversation about why sick days in teaching are genuinely broken.Then a headteacher has announced that all staff are being moved to different year groups in September, nobody wants it, nobody was consulted, and the latest anyone will find out where they are going is the day before the May resignation deadline. Suck it up or leave. Dylan has a view on whether that is acceptable leadership.There is also a really interesting question about why children's happiness drops so sharply between primary and secondary school, and what secondary schools could actually learn from the way primary works.The reports question will resonate with anyone in the final stretch of the year. A teacher has been told by leadership that AI cannot be used to help write reports under any circumstances. Dylan and Hayden discuss whether that policy makes any sense, what you can actually take to your head to argue the case, and how to get through reports without losing the will to live.And the one that might hit hardest. A teacher in their thirties, single, renting, cannot save a penny. Loves the job but is financially stuck. At what point does staying in a job you love become genuinely irresponsible?Honest, funny, and right on time for this point of the year.
In this episode, we're answering some of your real-life parenting questions—from “When did your child start talking?” to how we actually handle sickness in our homes (because it's never simple over here). We share what's worked, what hasn't, and the little adjustments we've had to make along the way when it comes to communication and caring for our kids when they're not feeling their best. We also open up about navigating diagnosis grief—what it looked like for each of us and how we've moved through it over time. And because we have to laugh to survive… we wrap things up with the one thing we will absolutely NEVER do again. It's honest, relatable, and full of those “same” moments.

Send us Fan MailLet's be honest — have you ever fantasized about calling in sick? Not because you're actually sick, but because it feels like the only way to justify taking a break? Maybe you picture finally cleaning out that closet, taking a nap in the middle of the day, or just... breathing. If that fantasy has ever crossed your mind, this episode is for you.Because here's the thing: most of us are terrible at sick days — whether we're fantasizing about them or actually having one.In this episode, I'm coming to you with a slightly squeaky voice (yes, I got sick too) and some real talk about what we do wrong when illness forces us to slow down — and what we need to do differently.What we cover:The Don'ts — things we need to stop doing when we're sick:Stop misreading your capacity. We already run at 150% on a normal day, operating on less sleep, less fuel, and less self-care than we should. When we get sick and drop down to 80%, we think that's practically normal. It's not. When you're sick, you are genuinely depleted — and pushing through makes it worse and longer.Stop expecting a hall pass without asking for one. If you show up to work or to your household looking "mostly fine," people will expect everything from you that they always do. You have to be explicit about what you can and can't do — or better yet, take yourself offline entirely.Stop confusing appropriate rest with laziness. Lying on the couch watching TV when you're sick is not a moral failing. It is literally the correct treatment. Your brain will tell you otherwise. Don't listen to it.The Do's — what we should actually do:Delegate. Ask for help. Whether that's your partner, your kids, your staff, or your neighbors — people can and will step up, but you have to ask and be clear.Rest. For real. Sleep more. Nap in the middle of the morning if you need to. Stop pushing.Knock off the low-lift, naggy tasks you can do horizontally — the overdue multiple-choice CME questions, that one thing on your to-do list with a soft deadline. Keep it low-stress and low-brain.Get cozy. Fuzzy socks. Warm tea. A blanket. You've spent enough time in cold operating rooms and stiff scrubs. Lean into comfort.Let go of the guilt. You can be sick with guilt, or you can be sick without guilt. Either way, you're sick. Choose without.The systems we work in were not designed with our humanity in mind — but that doesn't mean we have to internalize that. We have human bodies. We get sick. We are allowed to rest.If you've been fantasizing about a sick day, that's a sign you need a real break — and that's something we can work on together.

If you woke up today feeling like a raccoon that got hit by a clock, congratulations — you survived Daylight Saving Time. The Rizzuto Show crew rolls into the studio extra groggy and immediately starts questioning why society still does this whole “change the clocks and ruin everyone's Monday” thing. Apparently only a tiny percentage of people actually like the time change, and based on the energy in the room today… those people are clearly not listeners of this daily comedy show.Moon also drops a realization that hits way too close to home: he thinks he was legitimately sick all last week and didn't even realize it. Which explains the random dark thoughts, exhaustion, and that strange moment where everything in life felt terrible for no reason. Turns out sometimes your brain just needs a reminder that you're not miserable — you're just sick.Meanwhile, the gang dives into one of the weirdest studies ever released: New Music Friday might be causing car accidents. Apparently super fans are so excited about new album drops that they're scrolling through track lists, reading lyrics, and switching songs while driving 65 mph. In other words: people are literally dying to hear the new record. Maybe just hit shuffle and keep both hands on the wheel.The show also checks in on Rafe's ongoing mission to get into Canada so he can complete a ceremonial trip with the Blackfoot Nation — which now apparently involves mountains, lava rocks, sweat lodges, and a stand-up comedy performance for the entire community. The only problem? Canada isn't exactly thrilled about letting him across the border.Plus:AI transparency coming to streaming musicThe terrifying incident involving Rihanna's homeMachine Gun Kelly fans falling through the stageDave Mustaine considering an acting career (yes, really)A debate over whether KISS are technically clownsThe weirdest celebrity solo music flops everIt's chaos, questionable science, celebrity nonsense, and the usual Monday brain fog — exactly what you expect from your favorite daily comedy show.If you're looking for weird news, pop culture commentary, and a group of radio hosts trying to function on one less hour of sleep, this episode of The Rizzuto Show daily comedy show delivers all of it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Tis the season for illnesses, snow days, days off school, and so many other unexpected reasons for the kids to be home when you need to work. In this episode, I'm sharing what I do from the moment I receive the call (or hear the cough) to still be able to get things done while also navigating having a kid at home (or being sick myself). Listen in for some ideas and to be reminded that you're not alone! ==========================
If you feel like your homeschool only works when you're sitting right beside your child every minute, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share how medical appointments and special needs forced me to rethink my role in our homeschool — and how that shift helped us raise more independent learners without falling behind. I walk you through five practical ways to reduce constant parent involvement, including building rhythm instead of rigidity, leaning into your child's natural interests, using narration instead of endless worksheets, and protecting core skills while letting curiosity lead. If you're exhausted being the engine of everything, I hope this episode gives you permission to build a homeschool that feels alive — not heavy. Quick favor: If you'd like to potentially have me create an episode for you, I created a short questionnaire to help guide future episodes. As a thank you, anyone who fills it out will be entered into a drawing for a copy of my Movie Schooling book at the end of the semester.

On today's episode of Big Rich, TD, and Fletch, Fletch makes his triumphant return to the studio after being “violently ill” (or was it just violently comfy at home?). The guys break down his suspicious sick days and whether he deserves a welcome-back parade… or an HR meeting. Then Rich casually drops a bomb on San Diego by declaring that fish tacos are overrated — and the phone lines absolutely EXPLODE. In a city built on surf, sunshine, and salsa, this might be his most dangerous take yet. And just when you think it can't get worse? Rich shares a “life hack” involving instant coffee mixed into yogurt. It's confusing. It's unnecessary. It might be illegal. Fletch is back. The tacos are under attack. And someone please check on Rich's taste buds. Listen now before he puts espresso powder in guacamole.

Then the crew asks: What's YOUR favorite sports moment of all time? Prepare for goosebumps. Oh… and in a shocking mid-show discovery, Clint August may or may not have comically tiny hands. We're talking full-on measurement debate. The evidence is… concerning. It's chaos, patriotism, finger-span controversy, and one very questionable “sick” day — with Big Rich, TD, and the mysteriously absent Fletch.

Hey friend, Why is it so hard to use natural remedies once I actually feel sick? What helps when brain fog and fatigue make decision-making feel impossible? How can I make sick days easier without adding more to my plate? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. When sickness hits, energy and mental clarity are often the first things to go. In this episode, I talk about why natural remedies often go unused on sick days — not because you don't care or don't know what helps, but because brain fog and fatigue make decision-making harder in the moment. I share why having a few familiar supports ready before sickness hits is what actually makes natural remedies usable when you feel bad. I also walk through how I think about sick-day support in my own home, in a simple, realistic way that doesn't add pressure or require perfection. Natural remedies I mention in this episode: Oscillococcinum (early flu-like symptoms) Magnesium cream (achy, restless bodies) Elderberry Raw honey Cod liver oil Lymphatic cream (congestion, heaviness, “stuck” feeling) Resources and Links Mentioned Chronic Health Coaching https://ashleybraden.com/coaching Magnesium Cream HERE Lymphatic Cream HERE Natural Product store: https://payhip.com/hearthwellnaturals Connect With Me Contact: https://www.facebook.com/chronicillnessmoms Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chronicillnessmoms YouTube: https://bit.ly/chronicillnessyoutube Next Steps: Join the Facebook group for support and community Book a 1:1 Chronic Health Coaching session

There are seasons of homeschooling when everything feels heavier than usual. The holidays are busy, the semester is winding down, medical needs don't pause, and ADHD brains—ours and our kids'—are already stretched thin.In this episode, I share how movie schooling has supported our family for years as a way to keep learning connected, meaningful, and low-pressure. I talk about how learning through stories—books, movies, and shared conversation—helps children understand history, culture, and character at a deeper level, and why this approach works especially well for ADHD and overwhelmed brains.I also share simple movie ideas you can use right away, how this kind of learning can still count for homeschooling (even in a portfolio state), and why learning through connection often sticks longer than worksheets ever could.If you're tired, sick, stretched thin, or quietly wondering how to keep learning going without burning out, this episode is meant to feel like a gentle place to land.
