AS SEEN ON
This school year’s impossible circumstances asked everything of you.Â
It’s time to exhale and find your way forward 
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS... IT'S FREE!
A fully live event for PreK–12 teachers who are tired of the crash-all-summer, panic-in-August, then push-through-the-year cycle.
Two days to lighten your workload, link arms with like-minded teachers, and walk away with a plan to show up for your classroom and yourself next year.
- June 30 & July 1
Live sessions begin around 8 PT/11 ET and run until approx. 1 PT/4 ET. Can’t catch every session live? That’s okay… join us when you can. Replay & expanded expanded PD credit upgrades are also available after registration.
"You and your team have put together the ABSOLUTE BEST PD I have attended in 21 years of teaching. So much available on so many necessary topics for teachers. Thank you so much!"
You Made It To Summer... At A Cost.
It’s summer… and you’re so burned out you can’t even look at your teacher bag until August.Â
If the school year was so brutal that 2.5 months of summer doesn’t feel like enough to recover… that’s a symptom on a school year/summer cycle that isn’t sustainable.
Burnout from August to May. Crash and coast through June and July. Power back up in a panic. Rinse. Repeat.
And every June you tell yourself next year will be different. But if nothing changes this summer… it won’t be.
- August panic sets in right on schedule
- October hits and you're already running on empty
- You push through the second half of the year on fumes
- June arrives and you're right back here... just as depleted as this year
You didn’t become a teacher to lose yourself in the job. What if next school year didn’t have to follow that same sprint-then-crash pattern?Â
THIS SUMMER CAN BE MORE THAN JUST A BREATHER.
It can be a chance to REFRESH Â and build a school year (and a life outside of it) that you don’t need to escape from.
That's why I created the Summer Refresh...
And that’s why thousands of teachers keep coming back every year… because this isn’t another eye-roll “remember your why” pep talk that feels like a waste of your summer. It’s also not another event that leaves you with a full notebook but then more overwhelm because you don’t know what to do first.Â
Every session at the Summer Refresh is designed to do one thing: make teaching feel lighter so you have energy left for the rest of your life.
Woven throughout every session are the 3 research-backed components that actually make change stick: a coach and hand-picked experts to guide you, a live interactive community of teachers who get it (because who you surround yourself with matters more than any strategy), and real tools you can actually apply to build your Refresh Plan.
JUNE 30: EDUCATE DAY
Real practical strategies and tools to make teaching lighter — without adding more to your plate. Every session is chosen specifically because it simplifies and streamlines. We kick off together as a group, then you choose your own breakout sessions based on what YOU need most. You pick what's relevant. You leave with what actually applies to your classroom.
JULY 1: REJUVENATE DAY This day is about YOU... starting right now, not just in September. We kick off with yoga, come together for an exclusive live podcast recording with The Balancing Act, and close with real coaching and application with teacher life coach Kelsey. You'll leave feeling rejuvenated today AND with a plan to keep it going when the school year starts.
You’ll leave with your Summer Refresh Plan.
A simple, personalized roadmap for the year ahead. Your best ideas, your top priorities. Not a 47-page workbook you’ll never open and makes you feel more overwhelmed than when you started. June one clear plan you can actually follow.

What Happens when PD Feels Like a Day At The Beach
Have Questions? We've got you.
To celebrate our 5th annual Summer Refresh, we wanted to remove every barrier and give every teacher the full experience. We genuinely believe that every teacher deserves the three things that actually create lasting change: a coach and experts to guide you, a real community of teachers who get it, and practical tools you can actually use. This event gives you all three… live, together, for free.
Because community is one of the most powerful ingredients for real change, and community only happens in real time. There’s something different about being in a room (even a virtual one) with thousands of teachers who are all in the same season of life, going through the same things, making the same commitment to do something different this year. You can’t replicate that with a recording.
Come for what you can! Sessions run approximately 8 PT / 11 ET through 1 PT / 4 ET each day, so join whenever you’re able. If you want access to everything you missed, replay upgrade options are available after registration.
Free registration includes live attendance only… replays are not included. If you’d like guaranteed access to all session recordings to watch on your own schedule, replay upgrade options are available after you register.
Yes! A certificate of completion is available for attendees who are present for the full day and check in at the end of each session day. If you want to guarantee your PD certificate regardless of whether you can attend live, replay upgrade options (which include your certificate) are available after registration.
Yes, 100% virtual! The entire event takes place on Zoom so you can join from anywhere… cozy couch, backyard, coffee shop, wherever. You’ll receive your Zoom links after registration. Fuzzy socks highly encouraged.
Yes! This is the first year the event is completely free, and we’ve intentionally streamlined the experience around one clear outcome: your Summer Refresh Plan. It’s our most focused event yet.
The Summer Refresh is designed for PreK–12 teachers, with a heavier emphasis on elementary. That said, so much of what we cover… the tools, the strategies, and especially the rejuvenation side of things… applies across all grade levels. We have many secondary teachers who love the experience and come back every year.
Nope! Just Zoom, which most teachers already have. We’ll send everything you need after you register.
