This was so unexpected and mindblowing!
A couple years ago, a 14-year-old girl arrived at my mindset summer camp for teens struggling with low self-confidence and social insecurity.
It was especially challenging because of her great fear of unfamiliar people and a subconscious belief that other people are scary and dangerous. It was impacting many other areas of her life as well. She was homeschooled and had difficulty building connection with other students in their co-op. She couldn't make friends. She shied away from attention, like when she literally hid behind her mom the first time I met her.
While a small part of her was hopeful that she could have a good experience at the weeklong teen camp, another part of her was terrified and didn't believe that she could relax and enjoy it.
After just 3 days of attending my camp, though, I noticed she had a big shift. She started speaking up more in our group discussions and collaborating on creative projects. The other girls started inviting her to sit with them during our snack breaks and including her in their conversations. Instead of sitting with her shoulders slumped and her hair half-covering her face, she was sitting tall and smiling quietly.
She later told me that she attributes this shift to learning from me about how her mind works and the way her thoughts create her emotions. She realized that changing the way she thought about herself and others generated a new feeling of confidence. It felt really good! She didn't have to stay afraid of putting herself out there!
And now, her life is STRIKINGLY different!
Only a couple months later, she tried out for a play in a community theater and discovered that she loved being on stage! A complete transformation was taking place!
Now, a bright and confident 16-year-old, this amazing young lady has joined a choir, volunteered to work in a bookstore and interact with customers, learned how to network in professional adult settings as she assists her entrepreneur mother in the family businesses, and even applied for a job in a restaurant and got hired!
My favorite evidence of her dramatic shift is a little tiny duck figurine. She handed it to me before a mindset workshop last year, and smiled, saying she'd ordered ONE HUNDRED of them off of Amazon. And up to that point, she had walked up to NINETY-SIX strangers and handed them one of those tiny ducks in order to strike up a conversation with them... 🤯
THIS IS THE POWER OF MINDSET SHIFTS ABOUT YOUR FEARS AND LIMITATIONS!!
When you understand the components within your body that make you think, feel and act the way you do... you can learn to USE them to CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
You are no longer a slave to other people's thoughts and feelings.
You are no longer in bo***ge to your circumstances.
You are no longer limited to just the possibilities you see right now ...

.. are actually LIMITLESS!
You just have to THINK it's true.

PS. I just want to leave you with one more message ... from this teen's mom…
"Before taking mindset classes with Michelle, my daughter was very quiet and introverted. We would make goals for her to smile or possibly say hello to people when we were out and about.
Since taking Michelle's mindset classes my daughter gained the confidence to audition for a Local play and to ask business owners for volunteer opportunities without prompting!
When asked if she is good at something she has even had responses such as "I can work on being good at _ 1 am always working on myself so I know I can do it with practice!
Michelle is amazing and has done a fantastic job making her classes fun and relatable for people of all ages. This year I have seen so much development in my daughter's self-confidence and mindset."
