What a wonderful interview! Michelle Mitchell is warm, compassionate and marvelously adept at understanding teens, and how to help in challenging times. Michelle shares with us her insights into the teen brain (ahhh!) and what they are really needing from us during the pandemic. It’s not what you might think-it’s actually about “leaning out” as Michelle says. This is an opportunity to build capacity through adversity. Learning how to adapt and thrive can also mean allowing for messiness.

Michelle Mitchell is an award-winning speaker, and bestselling parenting author. She has been termed ‘the teenage expert’ by the Australian media and is sought after for her compassionate and grounded advice for parenting tweens and teens.
