My Story
YVETTE P. VAUGHN
Certified Master Life Coach | Childcare Advocate | Author & Pastor
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Yvette P. Vaughn, and I am a multi-talented professional and community leader dedicated to
service, advocacy, and empowerment. As a Certified Master Life Coach with over 10 years of experience, I
specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT) to help individuals reshape their mindsets, overcome
professional roadblocks, and achieve sustainable personal breakthroughs. Through my practice, Trulife
Coaching, my mission is centered on empowering clients to look into the mirror of their lives, acknowledge
their full potential, and actively step into their purpose.
CHILDCARE ADVOCACY & PUBLIC SERVICE
With over 25 years of dedicated service to families, I have established myself as a highly respected figure in
the early childhood and childcare industries. My professional influence extends deep into the legislative and
economic sectors of the field. Having served proudly on the Bargaining Committee for the State of Illinois, I
have successfully negotiated pivotal contracts impacting over 300,000 children across both center-based and
home-based childcare programs, ensuring high-quality standards and equitable access.
COMMUNITY IMPACT & PHILANTHROPY
My commitment to community development and localized support is further evidenced by my strategic
collaborative work. Under the umbrella of the CEDA program, I have successfully spearheaded essential
community initiatives, including managing a vital Community Food Bank Block Grant. Sponsored by the
Robinhood Foundation, I organized and led a dynamic five-member team to responsibly manage a $310,000
grant serving the Harvey, Illinois area. These focused mobilization efforts earned me a prestigious Award of
Recognition from the CEDA program in 2020.
AUTHORSHIP, MEDIA & MINISTRY
In 2020, I formally entered the literary space as an accomplished author and publisher with the release of my
book, Birthing Anointed Angels. Driven by a passion for personal transformation, I am a prolific creator of
daily guidance journals and self-help literature. My narrative and literary contributions were celebrated
globally in 2023 when I was named one of the top three finalists for the prestigious Inspire U Network Non-
Fiction Book Award in Atlanta, Georgia.
Complementing my corporate and coaching endeavors, I serve faithfully as an Ordained Pastor and
Prophetess. In this capacity, I integrate strategic spiritual guidance with practical cognitive tools, providing
deep, holistic mentorship. My expanding global influence was formally recognized in 2023 when I received
the esteemed Influencer Award from the International Association of Women (IAW).
