Created by counsellors and educators who care deeply about the next generations.

My Life Rulz was born out of the struggle of overcoming personal pain and decades of counselling others through theirs.

When our founder, Joan Johnson (Koskela), experienced family breakdown as a child, she drew damaging conclusions about her own worth - something she later saw repeated in thousands of other people in her counselling practice.

Through her own healing journey and professional counselling training, Joan learned that when young people are given reassurance and hope at the right time, they can bounce back. One truth can become an anchor.

My Life Rulz is designed to provide prevention instead of cure, helping children and teens build strong foundations before anxiety, confusion, and harmful beliefs take hold.

Joan has spent more than a decade working alongside educators and counsellors to develop the My Life Rulz programme, with every lesson and resource grounded in real-world experience and containing no AI-generated content.
