Who We Are

Hi, I’m Michele — and I believe your mindset can change your entire life.
Challenges look different for everyone, but sooner or later, we all face something that shakes us. The difference between feeling stuck and becoming an overcomer isn’t luck, privilege, or circumstance. It’s the mindset you choose to bring into the battle.

The Red Notebook exists for one reason:
To help you build a mindset strong enough to carry you forward, no matter what life throws your way.

How It All Began

Yes, there really was a red notebook.

It started as a simple place to write down our goals, thoughts, and everything we were learning as we fought through our own challenges. Over time, that notebook became a blueprint — a symbol of what happens when you refuse to quit, stay curious, and take one small step at a time.

Today, The Red Notebook is a community built around those same principles.

Why Mindset Matters

A strong mindset doesn’t make life easier — it makes you stronger.

When your thoughts are grounded and healthy, setbacks become lessons instead of endings. You respond instead of react. You move forward instead of staying stuck. And that change doesn’t just help you — it ripples into your family, your relationships, and your entire community.

Growing up, I watched my parents struggle financially. But I also watched them make a choice:
They decided to succeed — and they took action.
No excuses. No blame. Just intentional, relentless forward motion. I didn’t fully understand it at the time, but witnessing that mindset shaped who I became.
