Michelle Hadley — Founder, The Mindful Edit

At 38 years old, Michelle Hadley’s journey is one of extraordinary resilience and radiant transformation. A single mother to her two-year-old daughter, Michelle has lived a story that most only read about—a story of betrayal, survival, and ultimately, profound healing. In 2016, Michelle’s name became tragically familiar to millions when she was falsely accused, arrested, and vilified in an unimaginable case of deception and domestic abuse that gained national media attention (Buzzfeed News).

But long after the headlines faded, Michelle quietly faced another battle: the silent, invisible wounds left by years of psychological abuse and toxic relationships. For years, she found herself trapped in a cycle of unhealthy partners, repeating painful patterns that kept her disconnected from her own worth and peace.

It wasn’t until she became pregnant with her daughter that the true healing began. In carrying new life, Michelle found her own. Motherhood became her catalyst—a sacred mirror reflecting both her deepest pain and her greatest possibility. After giving birth, she entered a season of exquisite transformation, embracing stillness, surrender, and the power of self-compassion.

Today, Michelle brings this lived experience to others through The Mindful Edit: Rituals for Elevated Living. Certified in mindfulness coaching and meditation, as well as a trained practitioner in Yoga Nidra and restorative yoga, Michelle guides women through the delicate process of reclaiming their wholeness after trauma. Her work is rooted in the gentle, yet powerful belief that healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about honoring it, integrating it, and choosing to rise.

With a signature blend of mindfulness, luxury, and feminine softness, The Mindful Edit offers curated rituals and conscious living practices designed to nourish the nervous system, soothe the soul, and restore a deep sense of inner beauty.

The sweetest things, indeed.
