Who We Are
I'm M'Lissa Parker
With an educational background that includes a MS Educator Licensure, a Master's in School Counseling, and a Specialist in Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, I value the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and my mission is to bring these invaluable lessons directly to your doorstep through My Mighty Self, LLC.
Venturing out in faith over fear in achieving this 8 year business dream, I left the educational system after serving the Mississippi Gulf Coast for 15 years. I felt a deep profound calling to bring my knowledge, passion, and expertise in SEL outside of the school setting, where it is needed the most. Working with children for over a decade made me realize that emotional confidence needs to be focused on within the home and in real-life situations, in addition to the school setting. After months and months of dedication and hard work, I have finally transferred this dream into a reality.
My Mighty Self, LLC offers unique social skills lessons and specialized SEL tools and strategies targeted to enhance self-regulation and emotional confidence; build strong relationships; create safe-calming climates, cultures, and environments; nourish growing mindsets, promote positive outcomes, self-regulation and emotional confidence with ongoing results. By partnering with families and communities, my goal is to increase SEL awareness and the development of fundamental skills that enhance harmony internally and externally across diverse environments and populations.
My vision extends beyond the confines of traditional education, aiming to advocate for the complete well-being of the whole child—academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I envision all children and adults as self-aware, caring, responsible, engaged, and lifelong learners who work together to achieve their goals and create a more inclusive, just, and equitable world. Through my advocacy, I hope to sow the seeds for a future where every child can thrive emotionally and intellectually, creating a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom.
Over my 15 years of experience working with children, I've created inventive tools and strategies that are driven and proven effective to guide individuals’ and families’ growth in SEL as they learn to understand and transfer these skills into their everyday lives; empowering them to become the champion from within!
