Hidden Gems: Meet My Tran of The Saved Haus

Today we’d like to introduce you to My Tran.

Hi My, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’ve always been a creative girl at heart. When I was little, I actually wanted to be a Disney animator. I used to draw a lot — like full-on portraits — and even made money doing them when I was a kid. I thought that would be my future. But like most people, my dreams changed a whole lot as I grew up.

In middle school, I was into real estate. By high school, I was looking into international business. I didn’t know what I was called to do, I just knew I wanted to be successful and live a big life. That desire never left.

College was the first major turning point. I graduated early from UCI with my degree in marketing at 20 years old, thinking I’d climb the corporate ladder and find purpose in that world. But something in me shifted when I started meeting young entrepreneurs — people my age making money online, traveling, building their own thing. It changed how I saw everything.

I launched my first e-com store selling body chains (it failed, by the way), tried learning stocks for a bit, and started creating content just for fun. I began landing gifted collabs and eventually got hired to manage social media for an A-list celebrity. I walked away from that job because it didn’t align with who I was or what I stood for. And honestly, walking away created space for what really mattered to me.

In November 2022, I gave my life to Christ. That was the moment everything truly changed. My mindset. My content. My direction. I stopped doing things just for money or image, and started living for something bigger. I realized I didn’t just want to build something successful. I wanted to build something that meant something while also honoring God and serving people.

That’s when The Saved Haus was born.

It started with me — my own healing, my own faith journey, my own hunger for purpose. But now, it’s becoming something bigger. It’s a brand and a community for women who want more. More discipline. More direction. More peace. More God. It’s for women who want to build real lives — not just aesthetics — and live out their purpose without losing themselves in the world.

Now I’m a content creator and entrepreneur, still figuring it out day by day, but walking in full alignment. I help brands grow through strategy and storytelling, I help other creators build with intention, and I share what God’s doing in my life along the way.

This version of my life is so far from what I pictured when I was little — but it’s better. It’s rooted. It’s real. And it’s only the beginning.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey to where I am today has been anything but smooth. If anything, it’s been filled with inner battles that most people never see. We live in a world that’s constantly pushing quick wins, curated images, and pressure to “keep up.” And I’ve definitely had moments where I spiraled into comparison, doubted my path, or felt tempted to follow trends that didn’t align with my values. It’s not easy building something only you can see—especially when people around you don’t always get it. But that’s what entrepreneurship is.

My art is storytelling—through content creation, through faith-led entrepreneurship, and through encouraging women to step boldly into the lives they were called to live. My brand, The Saved Haus, is more than a name. It’s a movement. A safe space for women, especially creatives and entrepreneurs, to tap into their God-given identity and build bold, beautiful lives from a place of confidence, healing, and intentionality. The vision goes far beyond digital downloads. I see sisterhood, gatherings, Bible studies, resources that blend faith and skill-building—because women deserve to feel both spiritually equipped and practically empowered.

But behind all that vision was a lot of pain and pruning. When I first started content creation, I’d ask family to help take pictures so I could grow my page, but they didn’t understand. They thought I was being self-absorbed. And that hurt, because deep down, I was doing it for them. I wanted to create something that could eventually allow me to give back, be present, and one day retire them. That misunderstanding was heavy—but I kept going. I used tripods. I asked friends. I figured it out. Because I believe in this vision.

I’ve poured hours into creating content—filming, editing, writing—and watched it get 15 likes and no comments. It’s discouraging. It makes you question everything. But I’ve learned that’s just part of the journey. It’s the same thing with business. You can launch a brand, pour your heart into it, and only get a few orders. It’s hard not to take it personally or feel like giving up. But the truth is: consistency matters more than anything.

If I had let those doubts win when I only had 5K followers, I wouldn’t have 26K now. I wouldn’t have journal preorders. I wouldn’t have sold digital products or built a brand from scratch. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to attend brand events, expand into social media services, or create from a place of deep purpose like I do now. And most of all, I wouldn’t have this testimony.

I surrendered my life to Christ in November 2022, and that’s when everything began to change. That’s when I started healing. That’s when my purpose started to shift from chasing the next big thing to walking in divine alignment. God gave me clarity in confusion, peace when I wanted to give up, and a new identity rooted in who He says I am. Through Him, I’ve broken free from shame. I’ve started to unlearn hustle culture and perfectionism. I’ve begun to understand the power of rest, of grace, of building slowly but intentionally.

I grew up in an immigrant household where work ethic was everything. I watched my parents run their business for 30 years. My dad would always say, “Work hard now, play later.” And while that gave me discipline and drive, it also gave me guilt. Guilt for resting. Guilt for slowing down. I’m still unlearning that. But I’m getting there.

However, because of the extreme worth ethic I developed from my childhood, I was often seen as the one who would make it. The one who was always consistent, driven, and destined for success. But what people didn’t see was how that created an intense pressure. When people believe in you before you even believe in yourself, it creates a silent weight. I carried the fear of disappointing others. And honestly, I carried shame every time I felt I was falling behind, even when I was growing.

That pressure often made me feel like a failure, especially in seasons where I was still trying to figure things out. I felt stuck chasing success by the world’s definition.

This story is not about overnight success. It’s about transformation. About being saved and still hustling—with faith, with wisdom, and with divine vision. Through The Saved Haus, I want women to know: you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You don’t have to follow the world’s path to be impactful. You just have to be willing to say yes to what God’s asking of you—and trust that He’ll do the rest.

This is just the beginning. And I’m walking by faith from here.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Saved Haus?
I’m a content creator, digital entrepreneur, and founder of The Saved Haus — a brand and community for women who want to grow in faith, discipline, and purpose while building lives they’re proud of. I specialize in content that’s rooted in both strategy and soul. Whether it’s helping someone build their online presence through social media management, or creating a piece of content that moves someone to get back in alignment with God, everything I do is meant to be intentional and impactful.

On my personal page, I’m known for blending faith, style, mindset, and lifestyle — I share my walk with God, what I’m learning about purpose, discipline, and becoming “her,” but in a way that’s honest, real, and unfiltered. I like to say I carry “big sister energy,” but with vision. I’m someone who’ll remind you to stay soft and graceful, but also tell you to stop procrastinating and get serious about your future. I’m here to help women step into their full potential without compromising who they are or what they believe in. I want my platform to feel like a safe space, but also one that challenges you to grow.

Fashion has also always been my form of self-expression. I love styling all kinds of looks — classy, chic, streetwear, preppy — I’m for it all. But as I grew in my walk with Christ, I started to have convictions about how I dressed. I used to dress in ways that were immodest and came from a place of wanting attention or validation.

As my relationship with God deepened, I realized I could still express myself through fashion without compromising my values. That mindset shift changed everything for me. Now I dress in a way that still feels bold, beautiful, and confident, but also honors God and reflects who I am today.

One of my biggest missions is to show that being modest doesn’t mean losing your style. You don’t have to dull yourself down or give up being fashionable. You can still look bomb, cute, and even feel sexy — in a classy and empowered way. I love sharing my style to inspire other women that modesty and fashion can absolutely go together.

What I’m most proud of is launching The Saved Haus. It actually started as a simple idea I called “The Saved Hustlas”. It was just a little Instagram channel I created and linked in my bio. I started posting faith-based reminders, mindset tips, and little notes from my own walk with God. Slowly, people started following. They resonated with it. They were craving content that talked about both hustle and holiness, not just one or the other. I realized there were so many women, like me, who were building something and trying to stay rooted in their faith while doing it. And more than anything, they were looking for community.

And honestly, I was too. I wanted a space where I could be all parts of me. A woman of God. A visionary. A content creator. A disciplined woman who’s still figuring things out in real-time. That’s when the idea for The Saved Haus came to life — a home for the Saved Hustlas. A place where faith-led women could grow spiritually, mentally, and creatively… together.

The Saved Haus is more than just content or merch. It’s a movement. A space for faith-led creators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who want to build bold, beautiful lives rooted in Christ. The mission is to help others walk in purpose, grow their brands, and lead with faith over fear. I plan to expand it into digital products, mindset and branding courses, merch that glorifies God, and eventually a mentorship program for creators and entrepreneurs who want to build strong from the inside out.

I recently released my first physical product under the brand, a guided prayer journal titled In Jesus Name, Amen. It was created to help people build a deeper relationship with God through intentional prayer. It’s more than just a notebook. It’s a quiet space for stillness, reflection, and honest conversation with God. I designed it for the girl who wants to grow closer to Him but sometimes doesn’t know where to begin. Each page offers prompts to help you slow down, process your thoughts, and approach prayer with authenticity, not perfection.

What sets me apart is that I’ve been on both sides. I’ve been the girl who didn’t know where she was going, who felt pressure to follow the crowd, who almost settled for a life that looked “successful” on paper. I’ve also been the girl who said no to all of that — and chose faith, discipline, and alignment. I’m not just building a brand; I am my brand. Everything I share, I’ve walked through. And I think that’s why it resonates because it’s not curated or copied. It’s my real life, and I share it from a place of purpose.

I’m not doing this to go viral. I’m doing this to build something that matters. I’m doing it for me, for my future family, and for the women out there who need someone to go first.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
I’m gonna be real — this question made me jump back in time because honestly, my childhood mostly feels like homework and basketball. My dad signed me up for Kumon, so I always had extra classes and work on top of school, and I played on two basketball teams at once, so my schedule was packed with practices.

But after thinking really hard, my favorite memory is probably going on a one-month trip to Asia when I was in elementary school. We went to Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. I only remember bits and pieces because I was so young, but it was definitely an amazing experience. I remember playing with monkeys in Bali, swimming underwater in Vietnam, feeding a tiger some milk, riding an elephant in Thailand, visiting the infinity pool in Singapore, and eating the best com ga (a Vietnamese dish) in a mall in Thailand. My brother even got an infection on his hand from feeding fish underwater! It was definitely unforgettable.
