Michelle is simply AMAZING! From her forward thinking and refreshingly positive attitude Michelle is one class-act, plus, she knows what she’s talking about. Clearly she walks the walk. Michelle left the audience awestruck with her influential speech, captivating demeanor and genuine warmth. She even left the following speaker (right after her), speechless. Who does that? Michelle Bersell does. If you don’t know her, you need to. Just five minutes of her acquaintance and you will be hooked for life, I know I am. Thank you Michelle!– Lisa Leider, founder of BCB™

Is Stress Killing Our Kids? – Why Emotional Education is No Longer an Option

In the late 20th Century, drugs were infiltrating our schools and killing our kids.  What is now silently consuming our kids and altering their behaviors is the impact of stress and emotional overwhelm.  With stress levels in teens topping that of adults, we have a generation that does not have effective tools to effectively address the emotional overwhelm they are experiencing.  The result is a series of behaviors that demonstrate how their unresolved emotions coming out “sideways” such as overeating, drug use, isolation, bullying, and violent acts against oneself or others.  We must hear the plea of this generation and put an end to the insidious impact stress is having on our kids by giving them the tools to emotional empowerment and resiliency they desperately need.
