Educators pour so much into everyone else that our own wellness often comes last. Today, I’m thrilled to share a new resource created just for us: the GMTA Adult Coloring Book for Educators, a wellness tool designed to help teachers, leaders, and school staff pause, breathe, and reconnect with joy.
As a veteran educator, I found myself overwhelmed, constantly “on,” and unable to truly decompress. The stress and weight of the work began to affect me physically. Eventually, I learned I needed surgery and was forced to stop, rest, and let my body heal. That experience opened my eyes—I wasn’t just tired; I didn’t know how to turn it off.
That moment sparked something in me. I realized educators need simple, accessible ways to reset, reflect, and refresh. And that is what led me to create this coloring book: a tool made specifically for us, to help us breathe again.
