🍎 The Burnt-Out Teacher Who Can’t Keep Faking It

Every morning, she parks in the same spot.

Hands on the wheel. Deep breath.
“You can do this.”

It’s not the kids — she loves them.
It’s the meetings. The emails. The parents who don’t understand.
It’s being a punching bag for a broken system — while still expected to smile.

At 10:41 a.m., she laughs at a student’s joke.
But DaliQ catches what no one else does.

The voice strain.
The shallow breath right after.
The micro-crack in her tone.

Later, in the staff lounge, she doesn’t speak.
She eats half a granola bar and stares at the microwave clock.

She wears NOVi like a thread of sanity.
It doesn’t judge.
It just listens.

That night, her DaliQ report reflects it back to her:

“Today, your vocal energy was lowest during lunch.
Your tone patterns indicate emotional depletion.
Suggested Support: Emotional Recovery Rituals
Prompt: What does support look like for you?”

She reads it twice. Then whispers to herself:

“Support looks like not having to be strong all the time.”

And for once, she doesn’t feel weak for needing help.
She feels human.

They say teaching is a calling.
But no one ever said it should cost you your spirit.
NOVi helps you stay whole — even when the world wants to take pieces.

Your voice is telling a story.
NOVi is here to help you hear it.
