Be present, Not just exhausted

A 45-minute tune-up for teachers entering break depleted but still wanting to be present for kids, partners, and extended family.

Tuesday, November 25, 2025

You’re about to spend a week taking care of everyone else while you’re already running on empty. It’s 45 minutes to get your feet back under you before the week hits—and to wire HeyBodhi in as a concrete way to pull yourself back from the edge the next time everything piles up again.

This session is a necessary, smart pause before that happens: we’ll help you get clear on two tools you can use immediately—in your classroom and as you prep for Thanksgiving—grounded in real data, not platitudes.

Why is this worth 45 minutes? (Especially this week.)

In plain terms, here's what actually changes if you come.

You stop trying to be everything to everyone.

We’ll help you get ruthlessly clear on who and what is allowed to matter this week—at school and at home—so you’re not leaking energy into every request, conversation, and guilty “should.” You leave with a short, honest list of where your limited capacity is going on purpose.

You get a 60-second way to interrupt the mental spiral.

We’ll show you, live, how to use HeyBodhi as a quick, honest check when your brain starts spinning. By the end, you’ll have one saved prompt you can reuse any time you’re off-center—about students, admin, or family—and it will walk you back to facts instead of panic in the car, the kitchen, or on the couch when it’s all too loud.

You stop confusing exhaustion with evidence.

Being exhausted is a condition, not a verdict. Together we’ll line up that “I’m the problem / I’m not enough” loop against what’s actually happened with your students and your people, so you walk away with a picture of yourself that reflects reality, not just your energy level.

This is for you if...

you’ve been waiting to see if you had the energy to add one more thing, this is the thing that actually gives some of that energy back.

You want to show up to your family as yourself, not the burnt-out version everyone gets at the end of the term.

You’re tired of feeling like everyone needs something from you and you have no clear way to decide what to drop.

You want one small, concrete thing this week that’s actually for your brain and nervous system—not more work labeled as “self-care.”
