Hi. I'm Mary.
I'm a teacher, instructional coach, and creator of TenX Teaching. After 15 years in education (and too many holiday seasons where I overspent out of love, pressure, and pure exhaustion), I’ve seen how quickly December can drain even the most dedicated teachers. I created this guide to help you protect your energy, honor your values, and remember that your light is worth more than anything money can buy.
Christmas can be beautiful.
Sometimes you just need a little help making it that way.
