Hi I’m Michelle Mitchell.
If you are a parent of a tween or a teen, you have come to the right place. I’m an educator, author and award-winning speaker. But most importantly, I’m a champion of parents.
Whatever challenges your family is facing right now, I’m here to help. This site is full of resources and ideas that will champion home as the heroin your child’s life. If you are looking for a place to get started, why not join our community?

I hope this video inspires you to take care of yourself (the best way you can at the moment), and helps you join the dots between low reserves and kid’s unsettled behaviour. With in-charge energy, we more easily establish emotional connections, set realistic expectations, and follow through on our requests. Without it…. well, everything gets a lot harder.

This is such a great series and could not be more timely and helpful for my two tweens (boy and girl). We have absolutely loved the last two episodes and so look forward to this one.
Rachel JohnstonMichelle began her career as a classroom teacher, but soon discovered a special interest in wellbeing. In 2000 Michelle quit teaching to establish a charity called Youth Excel. Her days were filled with running small group programs for young people at risk of dropping out of education, and she soon become well knowns for successful outcomes with tweens and teens who did not flourish under more traditional forms of therapy.
Today, Michelle uses the same energy, deep-seated understanding and compassionate communication style to connect parents to the kids they love.
Coming together is the beginning of brilliant things for your family.
