Hi there! I'm Michelle Mical and I am The Grandma Guru; a certified master life coach and midlife mentor who empowers women to parent their adult children, set and respect boundaries, and figure out where they belong in their adult child’s life. I give them the tools they need to find their passions, the courage to break free from fear, and the confidence to strengthen their relationships with others and with themselves.
I’m a Mom
My 40’s brought many changes into my life. I am a stay-at-home mom whose children had the nerve to grow up, leaving me faced with learning to parent adult children.
So exactly how do you parent adults? How do you set boundaries for them while respecting their rights to live their life the way they need? How do you support them without smothering them?
I’m a grandma
Then came the grandchildren. Oh, the joy of having babies around again! I happily volunteered to babysit so mommy could go back to work.
Did you know that all the parenting guidelines have changed? All the rules I learned were thrown out the window and I had to learn it all over again. The problem was that the rules were geared for the parents, not the grandparents. I found books and websites that claimed they could help, but they did not answer my questions. Where were the grandparenting rules?
I am a Life Coach
After floundering for a while, I found tools that helped me set babysitting boundaries while not overstepping my child’s parenting abilities. I learned new tools to help us communicate, better our relationship, and figure out how to work as family team.
When I found life coaching, I found my answers and changed my focus. I got certified as a Master Life Coach. I have been up-leveling my certifications and learning new tools almost daily. I can’t wait to share them with you!
