Advertise on podcast: Off Duty

on Instagram I guess. I posted a video this week which literally flopped. It had me questioning if I should ever sing again! I mean not really, but a little. So here we are using my podcast as a full on venting and therapy session. xx Deana

I watched The Voice. I asked myself why did I stop singing? Then I feel into a rabbit hole and started to think about American Idol auditions, sending demo songs to Hilary Duff, and why can't I start over? xx Deana

What better way to celebrate my 300th episode with a real chat, unedited of course, of how I am not dulling my light for anyone... not lowering my excitement because you're just not a "morning person" and really because you would feel more comfortable if I was a different way... EHHHHHH (the sound of a buzzer) because nope, no thank you... not this girl! Sassy, proud, and yes... I am a Leo

I'm back!!! So summer isn't over so I refuse to say it or welcome the PSL! Sorry not sorry. However, I am back and more powered up than usual...like super mario power up...like the golden mushroom power up! STAR power more so. So join me and let us get back to our daily chat every Thursday! Deana

Friday 7/31 I will step up to a new level... my bday that is. With that, there has been so many enlighten things since entering my 40s and I will say it truly has been the best time of my life growing, learning, and succeeding in all I do. So here is to another level, and for all those continue to hang out with me on the way! xx Deana

I love a good horror film I love a good eerie moment... but I am obsessed, obsessed with Obsession. So let me obsessively talk about it today on the podcast! xx Deana

Making more room for what I need is not giving up. Making more room for what needs space in my life, is not giving up. It is what is needed for me to continue to grow, succeed, and be happy. xxDeana

Me not giving you energy, is different from me not caring.. I promise. xx Deana

Ladies and Gents meet my two guests: Marissa and Ashley!! Join us as we sing our little hearts out and yes... there is a part two next week!!! Find these two on Instagram: Marissa @leadinglittlehumans Ashley @ashleybuffandstuff

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! xx Deana

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! Deana

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: @amberedtech

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! xx Deana

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. xx Deana
