MEET OUR GUEST

Nellie Harden is a Family Life & Leadership Coach who focuses on helping parents and their teen daughters go from HOPING they are doing all the "right things," feeling lost and just surviving teen life to KNOWING they are doing the right things for their unique child and getting her set on a solid path to establishing her personal authority, owning her responsibilities and living in her joy so that she has a firm foundation to build the rest of her life on where she trusts herself, stays aligned in her values, and trades chasing worth for standing in her confidence every day in order to face anything and become the leader of her own life.

Nellie is a wife and mom to four teen daughters, author, speaker, podcaster, retired homeschooling parent, and adventure chaser. She has a degree in biology and psychology, years of personal and leadership training, and a diverse behavior background from humpback whales in the South Pacific to teens and parents in homes across the world. She believes in a life of intention, making dreams and goals realities and knows that the best way to change the world is through one living room at a time.
