WHAT'S INCLUDED
✓ A 60-minute 1:1 strategy session with Brittney, founder of It's Your Leave. For both parents, because this is a household decision, not a solo one.
✓ A pre-call intake form, so we skip the back story and get straight to your plan.
✓ A written summary in your inbox within 24 hours: what to file, when, and in what order. No guesswork after you hang up.
✓ Six months of weekly live group office hours, capped at 10 people, so you're never just a face in a webinar.
✓ Every session recorded and sent to you. Miss a week, don't miss an answer.
✓ Specific answers for SDI, PFL, PDL, and CFRA. Mapped to your actual job, your actual timeline, your actual situation, not a generic FAQ.
You've already done the homework.
You've read the EDD site twice. You've talked to HR (who didn't really know either). You know the four programs exist. You understand SDI and PFL on paper but have no idea what order to file in, where to go, and how long you can legally take!
You still don't know how your specific situation fits in.
Maybe your income is layered. Maybe you switched jobs mid-base-period. Maybe you're remote for an out-of-state employer, you haven't been at your job for a year or your employer top-up is making the filing math weird.
You don't need more information. You need someone to look at your actual numbers, your actual timeline, and your actual employer, and tell you exactly what to file and when.
That's this call.
Walk out with the plan
Sixty minutes in, you stop guessing. You know which program to file first, when to file it, and what to say to your employer. You know what your weekly benefit will be. You know how the four programs stack for your situation, and you know what to do if EDD pushes back.
The decision fatigue you've been carrying since the second line on the test? It ends on this call.
This is built for you if
Your income is layered. Multiple W-2s, a recent job change, bonus or commission-heavy comp, RSUs, equity vesting, or movement between full-time and contract work in the last 18 months.
Your employment situation has a wrinkle. Newly employed, returning from a previous leave, on a visa, remote for an out-of-state employer, in a probationary period, or unsure whether you qualify at all.
You need a specific answer for your specific situation. Not "here's how SDI works in general." A real plan, built around your numbers, your job, and your timeline.
One parent or both. If you and your partner both qualify, we cover both leaves in the same call.
What this is not
A Scenario Session covers one specific situation in one focused hour, with 6 months of group office hours to back it up. It's not full-service leave management. If you want someone running your full filing process, paperwork, and employer coordination from start to finish, that's Leave Concierge.
Why this works
When your income isn't straightforward or your employer situation is unusual, the system gets harder to navigate solo. Filing windows are short. Mistakes take weeks to fix. The fastest path to getting it right the first time is one focused hour with someone who's seen your scenario before and can recognize it the moment you describe it. And the months that follow are where the real questions show up. That's what office hours are for.
