Maybe (like me) being a teacher was your childhood dream. But the day-to-day reality of teaching is that you are constantly stressed, overwhelmed, and frustrated that there is more to do than any one mortal could possibly complete in one day - and so much of it has nothing to do with student success. Like most teachers, you work at least 10-15 hours a week in addition to your contracted hours. You love your students, but your life is out of balance and all about school, all the time.
Your family is frustrated about how many hours you work. If you're a parent, you could just cry that you are missing your child's soccer game again, because you are busy at school with other people's children. When you do finally get home, you are exhausted and short tempered. You have zero energy to help your children with their school projects. You get to pile fear of judgement from your children's teachers onto your mom guilt.
If you're not a parent, you know that other relationships in your life are suffering because how out of balance your life is.
You don't sleep well. You spend more time tha you like to admit crying or fantasizing about doing something else with your career. You are worried that the educational landscape has taken a turn for the worse since the pandemic, and you honestly don't know if you can (or want) to make it until retirement in this field. Being a barista never sounded better.

What if instead of being a victim of a struggling education system that is built on the foundation of teachers self-sacrificing to the point of exhaustion you could learn the skills, mindsets and tools to be EMPOWERED to control your own teaching narrative?
What if you had proven strategies and scripts to put balance back in your life, put effective boundaries on your time, separate school from home and leave that teacher guilt behind once and for all?
What if you had an experienced coach who has a unique background of 20 years as a public school teacher PLUS a background in life coaching to show you the way?

Leaving campus each day at a reasonable time, with time and energy for everyone and everything else in your life that you love.
Reconnecting to the passion you once had for teaching, because you are no longer "running on empty."
Never again feeling that your mental, physical and emotional health and your family time need to be sacrificed just because you are a passionate educator.
Gliding gracefully through the school year instead of crawling, exhausted and living for "the weekend" (which you squander worrying about school).


The modules on setting boundaries, dealing with toxic people, and separating my entire identity from revolving around my career made a positive impact in all areas of my life, not just teaching. These lessons can truly deliver balance and real world coping skills beyond just not being the last car in the parking lot.
A transformative experience consisting of self-study video modules, exercises, and bonus material such as sample scripts, trackers, and planners.
Bite-sized lessons where you learn how to use PROVEN, research-based practical tools.
Learn the skills and mindsets that no one else is teaching: the skills to take you from an exhausted, chaotic teaching experience to one of better balance and impact.
Learn at your own pace, without leaving your home. You will have access to the videos for more than a year, and lifetime access to the scripts, exercises, and planners.

You're fed up of toxic positivity "pep talks" & want real solutions
You crave a more balanced life where you leave work daily guilt-free
You're overwhelmed and want an experienced guide to lead and support you
You know you want to stay in teaching but you need to stop feeling over-extended, resentful and living for the weekend (or the next break, or retirement)
You believe your quality of life and your emotional health are worth investing in
You have bought into the teacher "martyr" myth and believe teachers aren't destined to have a balanced life
You're OK with missing out on other areas of your life that should be rewarding and joyful
You don't believe you are worthy of investing in yourself and your happiness
You aren't open to thinking in new ways and feeling more empowered in your life

If you want next year (and beyond) to be different, YOU need to do something different. Spending summer doing a deep dive into the latest curriculum (the old just repackaged) will not change your teaching experience. The system isn't going to change any time soon, but you CAN CHANGE HOW YOU SHOW UP IN IT. You can learn to be empowered and take back control. You can change your teaching story.
Things have changed in the classroom. I have experienced this first hand. I also bring a broader perspective to the situation examining it through a lens of psychology, behavioral therapy and life coaching.
Self-paced study courses are great. You can return to the learning modules and the exercises any time you need them. But I'll be honest. Many people who buy courses don't complete them. Having a COACH on your side to meet with you weekly, encourage you, answer questions, and hold you gently accountable may be the magic potion you've been missing.


Working with Grace has been a game-changer. She mixes her experience and practical wisdom with humor and authentic caring. The information is easy to follow, practical and relevant to the challenges we are facing. This is the best investment in time and money I have made in a long time.


Gain clarity on your current reality. Reframe being the hero in your own story by learning the difference between being proactive & reactive. Separate who you are from what you do. Learn why people pleasing is so prevalent in education and how to break free from it.

Start using all of the tools that will help you be successful on your journey. Discover where you are out of balance, where you are giving your power away, and create your compass for moving forward. Work your way through simple but powerful exercises to gain clarity and direction.

Reframe common misconceptions and learn the boundary rules to confidently say "no" to all things from extra duties to pushy parents and demanding co-workers. You will discover your boundary blindspots and leave the module with an entire "boundary plan" to set yourself up for success.

Learn how to school-proof your home. Develop healthy "closing rituals" and routines. Understand how much of yourself you share with school peeps and how to finally put yourself back on the schedule.

What's the point of physically leaving school if mentally your concerns are still there? Let's crush your limiting beliefs around what makes a good educator. Discover practical strategies to let go of vicarious student trauma so you can focus on the lives you can positively impact and not be bogged down with teacher guilt.

Unlock the tools and practices to maintain your new empowered teaching reality. By thriving you will have a more balanced life and the renewed passion to inspire the next generation of change makers.
The secrets to reducing teacher stress is knowing how to communicate effectively and professionally, while still setting appropriate boundaries. Follow the frameworks and never dread difficult conversations with parents and co-workers again. This is my best-selling mini-course, and I'm including it for free.
This is the ultimate playbook for setting boundaries in EVERY area of your life. It includes a section with all of your boundary scripts in one place - everything from shutting down inappropriate conversations in the staff room to setting limits with family members who think that because you have summers "off" you should be at their beck and call. Everyone receives this bonus, whether you elect the self-study or course plus coaching option.
Upon course completion you will receive a certificate for 15 hours of Professional Development. Do you need to keep track of Professional Development hours to retain your credential or meet district guidelines? Stop paying for expensive classes to obtain the hours you need. Invest in the PD that you want and that you need to have a more sustainable and joyful teaching career.



Having taught just about every level from primary to university over the last 50 years, I was amazed at how much I learned from Grace...she inspires teachers to feel empowered. These are the types of classes we wished we had in teacher training.
I can't change your experience for you, but I can be your guide.
I went on my own hero's quest. I went on a few detours but I learned a lot to share along the way.
My first detour was into corporate life. For 13 years I was a successful VP with all the lifestyle glitter that came with it. But I was suffering from constant stress, anxiety and burnout.
In 2001 I traded that lifestyle in to follow my dream of being a public school teacher. Happy ending, right?
At first, teaching was like a breath of fresh air! I found spending my day with students and making an impact was a joy - and easy. Until it wasn't.
Pretty soon, I was overwhelmed and back on the road to burnout. I realized I didn't need to change careers again; I needed to change ME.
I did a deep dive into NLP, neuroplasticity, positive psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I learned how to hack my mindset with simple habits to put joy back in my classroom and my life.
These new skills literally changed my life. In 2018, I turned those habits into the best-selling book, "Positive Mindset Habits for Teachers."
After 20 years in the classroom (yes, during and after the pandemic) I have dedicated myself to empowering teachers and taking them on their own journey to a more positive and sustainable teaching experience.

Chances are if you continue with your current teacher path you are sacrificing your well-being and your relationships.You are trading a life of balance and impact for one of resentment and exhaustion.
Hardly the stuff of epic adventures.
You simply cannot put a dollar value on your mental and emotional health. It's time to invest in yourself!
The truth is, 10 years from now the only people who will remember how many hours you spent at work or spent worrying about work will be your neglected loved ones.

A more productive mindset is to think about investing a few hours in your spare time to SAVE YOU hours and hours during the school year.
The course core content is split into six modules. Realistically you can expect to spend about an hour or so watching the core content videos and doing the exercises. Break it up into weekly chunks over summer is an excellent way to start next school year with an established BOUNDARY PLAN and all the confidence and skills you need to have a more positive experience.
For the lifetime of the course you will have access to all of the videos and bonus materials.
Absolutely! Once you make a password for the course portal (you'll get email instructions when you register) you will be able to put the course portal app on your phone or tablet. It will save your course progress, and you can watch/listen on the go.

Again, there is NO HURRY. You will have access to all of the learning modules through August 2027.
All modules and BONUS MATERIAL will be immediately available when you purchase the course.
Currently, this course is not affiliated with any college or university that can grant official CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for pay scale advancement.
However, on course completion, you will receive a certificate for 15 Professional Development Hours that you can put towards your district requirements for continuing education.
No problem! Email me at grace@gracestevens.com and I will happily answer any additional questions you have.
