Hi! I’m Michelle, founder of Most Valuable Me. After 15+ years in the corporate world, I realized how many women are moving through life on autopilot—highly capable, constantly giving, and still feeling like it’s never quite enough. I created Most Valuable Me as a space for women to slow down and come back to themselves—a true makeover for the mind, heart, and soul. It’s the kind of work my 21-year-old self would be proud of… and honestly, needed.
I’m a wife, mom, stepmom, and life coach based in San Diego, CA. These days, you’ll find me walking on the beach, spending time with friends and family, or grabbing a mic for a little karaoke (because balance, not perfection, right?). Through Most Valuable Me, I help women get clear, reset, and create a life that feels more meaningful, energized, and fully their own—without losing themselves in the process.

I didn’t always live like this.
In 2023, I hit a breaking point.
On paper, everything looked good—I was an operations manager at one of the largest financial services companies, building a career, doing all the “right” things. But behind the scenes, I was exhausted. Mentally drained. Disconnected from myself, and honestly, from the people who mattered most to me.
I remember thinking… is this really it? Because deep down, I knew I wasn’t meant to just get through my days. I wanted to actually feel my life.
That moment changed everything.
Over the past few years, I’ve done the work to rebuild from the inside out. I’ve taken a hard look at my core values. I’ve redefined what success actually means to me. I’ve prioritized my health, my energy, and the relationships that make life meaningful—especially with my family.
And slowly, things started to shift. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But in a real, sustainable way.
I created Most Valuable Me because I know I’m not the only woman who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, and stuck in a life that looks fine—but doesn’t feel right.
You might be juggling a million responsibilities.
You might feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way.
You might know you want more… but have no idea where to start.
I get it. I’ve been there.
And I also know this:
Life is too short to live on autopilot.
Too short to feel constantly depleted.
Too short to settle for “just okay.”
My work is about helping you come back to yourself.
To get clear on what actually matters.
To create space in your life and your mind.
To build habits, relationships, and routines that support the life you really want to live.
Not a perfect life.
A meaningful one.
One where you feel present, energized, connected, and proud of how you're showing up.
You don’t need to burn your life down to change it.
But you do need to start.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
