Teaching is emotional labor — not just instruction. This course helps educators build emotional sustainability, protect their nervous systems, set compassionate boundaries, and reconnect with their identity beyond teaching — without adding more to their plate. This is not productivity training. This is permission-based wellness designed for real school days. You can move slowly. You can skip lessons. You can revisit anytime. Everything counts.

"Nourish to Sustain". Purpose: Support teachers’ energy, focus, mood, and long-term health through clean, whole-food nutrition that stabilizes blood sugar, reduces crashes, and fuels a nervous system under daily stress. This is not dieting. This is fueling sustainability.
