HI! ☺️ I’m Maegan!
Born in 1976, I’m divorced, childless (not by choice), a business owner, writer, artist, and lifelong creative—finding myself on what may be the most important journey yet: coming back to who I am. I’d love for you to come along for the ride.
I started loveMaegan.com in 2007–2008 as a creative outlet—a place to share fashion, style, beauty, DIY projects, and glimpses into my life while working as a graphic and web designer at an art gallery in Beverly Hills. What began as a personal blog quickly grew into a fully self-built platform, connecting me with a loyal audience and leading to brand collaborations, features in print and online publications from Seventeen to Vogue, and years of storytelling across fashion, style, home, DIY, and lifestyle.
But life has a way of shifting the narrative. . .
Over time, what I shared evolved alongside me. Through marriage, infertility, moves, divorce, love, loss, reinvention, and all the quiet (and not-so-quiet) moments in between, I changed—and so did my work.
In 2016, I stepped away from the internet and into something entirely different, co-founding and building a bar and restaurant in a hundred-year-old building in Lake Arrowhead, California. What followed were years of intensity, stress, and personal challenges that ultimately pulled me in a different direction—back inward, toward something more honest and creatively fulfilling. In 2024, I made the decision to leave that world behind, step away from the business, move to a new city, and begin again.
Now, I’m rebuilding my life—and my work—from the inside out.
My creativity has shifted into more vulnerable territory on Substack, where I share raw reflections and storytelling through music, art, and writing. That process helped me grieve the lives I left behind—and led to completing my first novel, which I’m currently querying as I pursue traditional publishing. Along the way, I’ve been learning how to create from a place of truth rather than perfection—and I’m finally starting to feel like myself again.
loveMaegan.com still exists, though I share there less frequently. It remains a space for style, home, and lifestyle—but Substack is where my deeper transformation is unfolding. This season is about rebuilding a life that feels softer, more aligned, and entirely my own.
If you’re here, you may have followed my journey over the years—or maybe you’re in the middle of your own lost-and-found season.
Either way, I’m so glad you’re here. ☺️
