California Paid Leave School: Self paced guide to navigating paid leave

 

Paid Leave School

Your step-by-step roadmap to securing 6–7+ months of paid leave in California — without the overwhelm and confusion!


🤯 Tired of trying to piece together your leave plan from HR emails, Reddit threads, and outdated blog posts?

You know there’s paid time off out there… but no one’s telling you how to actually get it.

That’s why I created Paid Leave School — a self-paced, proven course that gives you everything you need to plan your California leave, file for SDI and PFL, and get the time and money you deserve. I've listened to a ton of feedback from the last year of doing this, and I want to make sure that this is accessible to all levels and budgets!

🎯 Who is this for?

You’re the perfect fit for Paid Leave School if:

✅ You’re planning ahead and want a clear step-by-step process
✅ You’re budget-conscious and not ready to invest in 1:1 support
✅ You’re independent but don’t want to waste hours Googling
✅ You want to make sure you don’t leave money or time on the table

🧠 What You’ll Learn

Every module is built to answer the real questions parents ask me every day — in order, with no fluff.

Planning Your Leave Timeline
→ When to start leave, how to time it around your due date, how long you can stay out

Understanding Your Job Protection Rights
→ What’s job protected vs. paid — and how to make sure you’re covered

California Wage Replacement
→ What you’ll actually get paid (and how to maximize it)

How to Extend Your Disability Leave
→ What to say to your doctor, and how to submit it to the EDD

How to Work Best With HR
→ Scripts, email templates, and what to say to make sure HR doesn’t delay your pay

How to Maximize Your Paid Benefits
→ Layering SDI + PFL + CFRA + employer benefits the right way

Navigating Employer Policies
→ What happens when your employer has their own policy or STD plan

Legal Resources + Protections
→ What to do if something feels off or you get pushback

✨ What You Get (No Guessing Required)

  • 🎥 8 modules, broken down into easy-to-follow lessons

  • 🧾 Scripts and email templates to use with HR and your doctor

  • 📄 PDF downloads and timelines you can actually follow

  • 🗂️ Walkthroughs of SDI + PFL application steps

  • 🧠 Built-in tools to estimate your pay and plan your return date

  • 🔁 Lifetime access — revisit anytime as your plan evolves

Need more support later? You can upgrade anytime.
This course is designed to give you everything you need to understand the basics and build your leave plan — no fluff, just the essential steps that apply to most California parents. But if you find that you need more personalized guidance, you can absolutely upgrade to a 1:1 plan and I’ll apply what you paid for the course toward that package.

Everyone’s situation is different — job type, income, how your partner's leave works, your employer policies — so it’s impossible to make one plan fit every detail. That’s where consulting becomes incredibly valuable. But this course will give you the foundation, clarity, and tools to save you hours of research and help you feel confident moving forward.

I created it to give you trusted information — without the stress or price tag of private coaching. And if you decide you want more support? I’ve got you.
