The Human

trish MICHAEL, the human

Whether she’s empowering kids (and adults) with the messages in her books, showing people their true beauty through her photos, connecting business owners with their ultimate success or rubbing her fingerprints off on the pavement with sidewalk chalk, it’s all done with one thing in mind; uplifting others.

Here's some other tidbits about me...

pavement & chalk

are my fav mediums

i write children's books

that help kids thrive!

I’ve been through hell and back many times. So have my kids. Through that I’ve written and published 3 books (working on the 4th!). All were written to uplift and empower them through our struggles. And now parents, teachers and therapists all over the world are using them as a resource to help kids.

i am

a badass

I’ve beaten cancer THREE TIMES and all I got was this mug. 🤣

i am my own

superhero

I genuinely believe we are all superheroes with the power to make positive change in this world. Uplifting is my superpower. Also, housing Pringles at an alarming rate is my superpower (that I wish I didn't have...)

Also puns. No matter what we work on together you can rest assured, those mom jokes will be comin’ in clutch. (insert eye rolls from my teenagers for my use of the word clutch)
