 The Educator Reset CourseÂ
     Reclaim Your Energy
We all enjoy the many benefits of working at international schools. However, when “just getting through the day” becomes the norm, something’s off. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re slowly losing your spark… you’re not alone. It’s not a lack of resilience and it might be burnout. Build your awareness of what burnout is, how to cope with it, and how to prevent it. Your health might be at risk and this topic deserves your attention. Invest in yourself and be a part of the conversation.
Let’s talk about it →Recognise This?
You’re navigating life abroad and take pleasure in the unique experiences you have as an international educator. While it is a great adventure, sometimes there’s barely time to take a breath.
You're constantly “on” in your school environment. You’re helping students, colleagues, and family members and often put the needs of others above your own.
Research shows that self-care is not selfish, it is essential, and yet, we don't feel like we have the time to take care of ourselves.
And Does this sound familiar?
“There’s too much on my plate, and I don’t know what to drop.”
“I’m tired before the day even starts.”
Â
“I feel like no one really knows me here.”
Â
“How long can I keep going like this?”
Imagine This
You start your day calm and clear—not drained. You walk into school feeling grounded, confident, and supported.
You’ve stopped running on fumes. Instead, you’ve built habits that genuinely restore you—even in the busiest weeks.
You feel connected again—to your purpose, your students, and a community that gets what you’re going through.
You’re teaching with energy. Living with balance. Leading with intention.
That future starts now.
