— Michelle MitchellMichelle Mitchell isn't just a financial strategist — she's the truth-teller and confidence-igniter that ambitious women didn't know they needed. As the founder of Mitchell Consulting, she's spent over 15 years helping powerhouse service providers get real about their finances, scale with intention, and finally break free from the bottlenecks holding their business (and their peace) hostage.
But here's what sets Michelle apart: she doesn't sugarcoat. She gets to the heart of what's really driving your decisions — your beliefs, your fears, your default money patterns — and then helps you rewrite the script so you can lead with power and purpose.
She's walked the talk, evolving from an overworked “laptop mom” to a liberated CEO who built a business that runs without her — and now she's coaching others to do the same. Whether she's guiding a CEO through her first million-dollar year or helping a service provider make her first confident hire, Michelle brings strategy, soul, and just the right amount of sparkle to every conversation.
Because that sparkle? It's not fluff — it's fuel. Fuel for clarity. Fuel for confidence. Fuel for building a business that actually feels good to run.
