Meet Michelle Silva
Your Marketing Mentor
Empowering Women to Thrive
Hi, I’m Michelle Silva, and I help bold, visionary women entrepreneurs scale their businesses, amplify their impact, and lead with purpose. With over two decades of marketing and leadership experience, I’ve worked alongside bold, creative women to transform chaos into clarity and build businesses that thrive sustainably.
Why I Do This Work
As a breast cancer survivor and a lifelong advocate for ethical leadership, my personal journey fuels my commitment to helping women-led businesses succeed. I believe that when women grow their businesses authentically, they not only transform their own lives but also create ripples of positive impact in their communities.
My Story
Life has given me its fair share of challenges—being laid off three times, divorced, filed bankruptcy, and most recently, widowed. Yet, through it all, I’ve remained steadfast in my belief that love, kindness, and resilience can transform lives and businesses alike. These experiences have shaped my ability to navigate chaos, find clarity, and create meaningful solutions.
​
As a neurodivergent woman with ADHD, I see the world differently—blending creativity, strategic thinking, and empathy to meet challenges head-on. My life has taught me the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and building a legacy of compassion and purpose.
​
This work is deeply personal to me because I know what it means to rebuild, reimagine, and rise again—and that’s what I help bold, visionary women like you do every day.
Your Roadmap to Sustainable Growth
My approach is anything but typical—because neither are you. As your Marketing Mentor, I bring a blend of strategic clarity, emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of what it means to lead with purpose.
​
Through my proprietary RREV™ frameworks—Revenue, Relationships, Ethics, and Value-Driven Growth—I’ll help you:
​
-
Identify and Connect with Your Ideal Clients: Understand their needs, aspirations, and how your unique strengths can serve them.
-
Map Out Customer Journeys That Inspire Action: Create seamless experiences that guide your audience from connection to commitment.
-
Develop Marketing Strategies Rooted in Authenticity: Align your messaging and campaigns with your values, so your marketing feels as good as it performs.
This isn’t about quick fixes, flashy trends, or cookie-cutter solutions. It’s about creating a sustainable roadmap that amplifies your vision, leverages your strengths, and sets you up for lasting success.

My Journey to Becoming Your Marketing Mentor
I didn’t always have the answers. Early in my career, I struggled with overwhelm and the pressure to find that ‘magic formula.’ Through years of experience, I realized that true success comes from alignment—of values, vision, and strategy.
​
Today, I use my expertise to help women like you lead with confidence, build meaningful relationships, and achieve sustainable growth.
Inspired by Love and Support
My late husband was my rock and unwavering supporter, reminding me every day of the power of belief and encouragement. His love and steadfast faith in my abilities taught me the importance of showing up fully for others—a lesson I carry into my work with women entrepreneurs. His legacy continues to inspire me to help others thrive and achieve their fullest potential.
Trailblazers Who Shaped My Path
My mother was my first mentor and a trailblazer. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she defied financial barriers to own an interior decorating business—at a time when women needed a male co-signer to open bank accounts or secure business loans. Watching her determination and strength as she grew her business inspired my fascination with entrepreneurship and continues to guide me today.
​
My brother, like my late husband, taught me the value of family, love, and living life to the fullest. His adventurous spirit and deep appreciation for the present moment remain a profound influence on my life and work. Together, they’ve shown me the power of resilience, authenticity, and leading with purpose.
Finding Balance Outside of Work
When I’m not mentoring women entrepreneurs, I’m embracing the things that bring me joy and connection. You’ll often find me spending quality time with my spirited Australian Heeler, my beloved tabby cat, and exploring the great outdoors—a place that brings me peace and renewal.
​
The outdoors also holds a special place in my heart because it was something my late husband and I cherished together. We loved camping in our "LovePod" trailer, escaping the noise of the world to simply be with one another. Those quiet moments surrounded by nature with my best friend remain some of my most treasured memories.
​
I also find joy in spending time with my daughters, immediate and extended family, and the wonderful friends who are like family to me. Inspired by my mother, I have a deep love for interior decorating, as well as exploring hobbies and crafts that spark creativity.
​
One of my favorite pastimes is watching British television and films, a tradition my husband and I shared that continues to bring me comfort and connection to the memories we created together.
