Join us for an inspiring and practical evening with Michelle Tither and a panel of local women entrepreneurs who’ve each built successful businesses from the ground up.

Michelle is the founder and creative force behind Mint by Michelle, a brand that grew from a kitchen-table idea into a thriving international business with stockists across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Canada, and the US. With creativity and determination, she scaled to a million-dollar turnover by year four—all while raising two young boys as a sole parent. Along the way, Michelle has built multiple brands, opened a flagship retail store, managed international wholesale distribution, and fostered a global creative community.

Her workshops aren’t about “textbook theory” – they’re about real-world lessons, practical tools, and honest insights from someone who’s walked the path herself.

This interactive session will cover the highs, lows, and hard-won lessons of small business life: branding, marketing, finances, motivation, and resilience. You’ll hear real stories, ask your burning questions, and walk away with practical takeaways to help kick-start your own journey.
