Daryll Wharton

Happy and healthy teachers create VIBRANT classrooms.

What if your teachers/school staff were more energized, resilient, and passionate about not only their work but about their personal lives? That’s not just wishful thinking, it’s the outcome of working with Coach Daryll Wharton, founder of Teacher Recess Consulting and creator of the transformational B.A.G. Framework. With over 20 years in education and a personal wellness journey that led to a 400+ POUND WEIGHT LOSS, Coach Daryll brings unmatched empathy, energy, and evidence-based strategies to the stage.

When Daryll became a teacher, she quickly learned the toll the profession can take, not just professionally, but personally. Stress halted her weight loss, derailed her health, and nearly dimmed her passion for teaching. But instead of giving up, she turned inward, got intentional, and rebuilt her life, one boundary and belief at a time. That shift didn’t just transform her, it ignited a movement. Today, she teaches educators and school leaders how to unpack what tires them and pack what inspires them so they can lead vibrant classrooms with joy and sustainability.

After experiencing Coach Daryll, your audience will:

• Set boundaries without guilt and stop burnout before it begins
• Align their mindset using subconscious strategies to boost confidence and resilience
