Allison Noelle shares her journey from teacher burnout to mindset coach, inspiring educators to reclaim purpose, joy, and balance.
Allison Noelle Megherian takes the stage with honesty and vulnerability, introduced as a teacher, coach, author, and speaker. She begins with a relatable moment, her students questioning why she was always so happy. Teaching in inner-city Brooklyn, she quickly realized her work wasn’t just about music; it was about supporting students struggling with deep challenges. She introduced mindfulness and breathwork to her classroom, guiding students in meditation and journaling. The response was profound tears, calm, and connection rekindling her love for teaching.
Allison recalls a breaking point in her fifth year, overwhelmed by commuting, heavy workloads, and systemic pressures. Despite earning a leadership degree, she found the politics of education toxic. One morning, exhausted and crying in her car, she realized she was depleted. She masked her pain with a smile for her students, but walking away that day, she asked the universe for answers. The response came through slowing down, journaling, and self-reflection.
She admits she had pursued validation, success, and “the next big thing,” but still felt empty. By rediscovering self-care, reading personal development books, and practicing mindfulness, she aligned her mind and body. The transformation was so powerful that she began bringing it into her classroom. During the pandemic, she authored a mindfulness guide for teens and later launched Motivating the Mindset to mentor educators and professionals.
Allison highlights the teacher burnout crisis, with over 300,000 leaving the profession in two years. Her message is clear: educators must reclaim self-care, purpose, and joy without guilt. She encourages teachers to write themselves a letter, reminding them why they first chose education, and to reflect on those moments of joy that sparked their calling.
Quoting Oprah Winfrey, she closes with a reminder that honoring your calling is the greatest gift and that by quieting the noise, teachers can once again feel alive in their purpose.
