OVERFLOW
Professional development that fills up our cups.
Schools don’t need another initiative.
They need capacity.
They need space to breathe, regulate, reconnect, and remember what’s working.
Overflow is a regenerative approach to staff learning that helps educators move from
burnout → overflow:
from depletion → renewal,
from surviving → creating.
OVERFLOW is not “another PD.”
Overflow isn’t a workshop. It’s not a lecture. It’s not a binder you’ll never open again.
Overflow is a reset . A PD the pours back in.
It’s a paradigm shift in PDs.
We focus on helping staff rebuild the nervous system conditions that make learning, collaboration, and creativity actually possible.
Through grounding practices, storytelling, somatics, appreciative inquiry, and the Momentum™ simulation deck, staff:
regulate out of stress
reconnect to each other
rediscover strengths already alive in their building
shift from “we don’t have enough” to “we have more than we think”
leave with one small action that builds momentum
Overflow restores energy, clarity, and capacity, which are the things burnout steals first.
Let’s talk about burn-out, but for real.
Burnout is not a mindset problem.
It’s not a personal failing.
It’s not fixed by “resilience training” or toxic positivity.
Burnout is what happens when:
demands exceed capacity
nervous systems stay in survival mode
culture runs on urgency
everything feels extractive
people stop being treated as humans
Overflow interrupts the burnout cycle by addressing the actual system:
regulate the nervous system
slow the pace
shift the lens
reconnect the community
build from what’s working
create momentum that gives back, not drains
Overflow fills educators back up so they can keep doing the work they love without losing themselves in the process.
The Flow of Overflow:
Burnout → Regulation → Strength-Spotting → Momentum → Culture Shift → Overflow.
WHY SCHOOLS CHOOSE OVERFLOW
1. It starts with regulation, not content.
Teachers can’t engage when their nervous systems are in survival mode.
Overflow shifts staff into a grounded, creative state so they can see possibility again.
2. It’s asset-based, not deficit-driven.
We don’t start with “what’s broken.”
We start with “what’s alive.”
This single shift transforms staff culture.
3. It’s experiential, not sit-and-get.
Overflow uses your Momentum™ simulation deck to help teams practice building on strengths before applying it to their real work.
4. It’s real, not compliance.
This is not just PD to fill a pd spot.
No toxic positivity.
No pretending.
Just honest, grounded, human-centered work.
5. It leaves people lighter, not heavier.
Staff walk out saying some version of:
“I feel human again.”
“This was the session I didn’t know I needed.”
Book an info call.

Why does Overflow work?
Because we stop treating educators like machines.
Because we stop treating schools like factories.
Because we stop treating PD like punishment.
Overflow is built on:
Interpersonal Neurobiology
Polyvagal Theory
Somatic regulation
Appreciative Inquiry
Regenerative systems thinking
Real human connection
When educators feel safe, they become creative.
When they feel seen, they become collaborative.
When they feel grounded, they become capable of designing the schools we all want.
