About Michelle

If you met me today, you’d see someone grounded, steady, and clear in who she is and what she stands for, but the truth is, I didn’t become this version of myself because of a single moment that changed everything. It happened much differently than that. It happened in a slow, intentional way, through hundreds of small decisions that didn’t look life-changing from the outside but quietly shifted the direction of my entire life. I didn’t wake up one day with clarity. I earned it by choosing what mattered and letting go of what didn’t, over and over again.

People see my discipline now—the early mornings, the workouts, the routines, the way I take care of my body, my home, my mind—but they don’t always see what came before it. They don’t see the guilt that used to follow me into every room. The pressure I put on myself. The quiet belief that even when I was doing everything “right,” I still somehow wasn’t doing enough. I would be on the stairs, sweating, showing up for myself, and still think, “I could be doing more. I could be doing better. I haven’t earned it yet.”

One day, while I was rowing, something in me snapped into place. Without thinking, I yelled, “I AM THE JOB,” and it felt like my body and mind finally caught up to something my soul had been trying to tell me for years. It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t planned. It was just honest. And in that moment, something shifted. Not in a way that changes your life overnight—but in a way that changes you, slowly, steadily, from the inside out.

I started living differently. Not perfectly. Not with every answer. Just with a clarity I hadn’t had before. I stopped taking opportunities that were smaller than the life I’m building. I stopped pouring energy into things that didn’t match who I’m becoming. I stopped apologizing for wanting more. I stopped performing. And when I did, life got calmer. My home felt lighter. My mornings felt intentional. My choices felt cleaner. This version of me isn’t the result of luck. She’s the result of alignment, discipline, trust, and the quiet courage to let go of everything that wasn’t leading me where I knew I could go.

People tell me they’re inspired by me without even knowing my whole story. They tell me my energy feels different. They tell me I make them feel hopeful, clear, capable. They look at my life now—the structure, the peace, the joy, the softness, the strength—and they can’t believe the things I’ve walked through. And maybe that’s what makes my work what it is. I don’t teach from theory or strategy or a script. I teach from the life I had to build step by step, through clarity, through hardship, through rebuilding, through choosing myself when it would’ve been easier not to.

My work is simple. I help people return to the life they’re meant to live. Not a perfect life—a true one. A life where they stop abandoning themselves for expectations, for pressure, for old beliefs that were never theirs to begin with. A life where peace is real and earned. A life where their choices finally start showing up as alignment.

Every day, I choose the life I want, and I help others remember that their dreams are still possible. Not because everything is easy. But because they’re ready. And maybe that’s the only thing that ever mattered.

  • Why I Started Michelle Vaughn Co.

    I started Michelle Vaughn Co. after realizing my own transformation wasn’t meant to stay with me. The discipline, the healing, the alignment I fought for—people felt it, and it inspired them. This work grew from that realization: if I could rebuild my life, I could help others rebuild theirs.

  • Our Core Values

    Everything we do is rooted in these principles:

    Authenticity

    I’ve spent years stripping away anything that wasn’t me. What’s left is truth. I show up the same in every room, every conversation, every part of my work.

    Purpose

    I don’t move without intention. My life, my routines, my boundaries, my work — everything is designed with meaning behind it.

    Growth

    I believe in becoming better, not busier. The real work is emotional, internal, disciplined, and daily. Growth is how you honor the life you want.

  • Did You Know?

    IDid you know I’ve worked with people all over the country for almost two decades? Not because I planned to, but because people kept finding me through the way I lived — my discipline, my heart, my alignment.

    Dweewoo was created in honor of my son Dylan, a reminder to stay playful and soft even when life has been anything but. His spirit shaped me, and everything I create carries a piece of him.

    And when I’m not working, I’m usually moving — walking, lifting, out in the sun, or thinking up ideas that somehow always turn into something bigger than I expected. My life is simple, intentional, and full of things that make me feel alive.

  • Ready to Transform Your Life?

    If you’re ready to step into a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and fully yours, I’m here. Not to push you, not to fix you, but to walk with you as you remember who you are and what you’re capable of. Whether it’s through a session, a product, or simply staying connected to this space — you don’t have to do your next chapter alone.

    Your transformation doesn’t start someday. It starts the moment you decide you’re ready.
