My journey is not done. I grow every day, but now I want to share the ride with other women.

I started as the woman who was told her years at home raising a child or the fill-in jobs made her unemployable. The one who watched people with half her skills and twice her confidence walk into titles and salaries she had earned ten times over. The one who sat in meetings and realized the whole system was designed to protect the company, not the people inside it. Especially the people like me.

I spent years being the person who kept everything running while someone else got the credit. I was the underling in every room I walked into. Even when I was the leader. Not because I lacked the skill. Because I lacked the permission. And nobody was going to give it to me.

So I stopped waiting.

The name is not an accident.

Pink collar. If you have not heard the term, here is the short version. For decades, economists and workforce researchers used it to describe a category of jobs overwhelmingly held by women. Nurses. Teachers. Caregivers. Administrative assistants. Social workers. Customer service representatives. Beauty technicians. Cashiers. The people keeping hospitals running, children learning, families supported, and businesses functioning behind the scenes. Keeping the world moving, in other words.

These jobs were never random. They are systematically underpaid, undervalued, and undertitled. Not because the work is less important, but because the people doing it have less power. The invisible infrastructure of every industry. The ones who make everything work while someone else takes the meeting, signs the contract, and gets the raise.

Sound familiar?

Pink collar workers do not lack skill. They lack recognition. They were handed a label designed to keep them in a box and told to be grateful for the opportunity. To be afraid to dream outside the box.

We are keeping the name. We are changing everything else.

Pink Collar Works exists because these workers- the coordinators, the caregivers, the ones running everything without the title still get talked over in rooms. They deserve better systems, better support, and someone in their corner who actually understands what they go through and why it matters.

The workplace is broken. Not accidentally. It was built by people whose only interest was to make money. No matter who they had to take advantage of to do it. Capitalism left no room for pink collar workers to breathe or grow. Instead, it only leaves room for hard work.

Those people are gone now. Or should be. But their playbooks are still somehow running everything. Generational bondage that sets societal expectations for who deserves to succeed and who deserves to stay small. Pink Collar workers were never meant to succeed. We were delegated to survive and be grateful for them allowing us that pleasure.

I am here to replace them. Not on my own, but by starting a revolution to change the mindsets of every pink collar worker out there. That thought scares them. That we may actually start to see our worth and stop falling for their lies. No, this is not the best we can do or hope for. We are allowed to dream of more than just surviving.

Here’s what I do.

I work in two parts. One to help employers do better. If you are a founder and want to do things in a better way. Treat your team like people and not a bottom line, then welcome! I would love to help you create that environment and develop those systems. I see both sides, and I want to help close that gap between workers and founders. I listen to what is really happening inside a team. Not the polished version. The real one. And then I build the systems, the conversations, and the processes that make people want to work there. If you would like to talk, check out the employer page!

Second is my favorite part. I work with women who have been underappreciated in their lives, have been told the same stories since childhood, and want something better for themselves. For me, I was told that money is hard to get. It was also the only thing that ever seemed to matter, and it was the only way to judge the success of someone’s life. I was told to be a leader while also being told to sit down and be quiet. Unlearning these generational beliefs is hard, but I believe it is necessary to move into our full selves.

I am not here to tell you I know it all. I am not the guru who is gonna tell you that I have Ferraris and travel to Europe 3 times a year because I followed a program. I am going to tell you that I am farther into my journey than I ever thought I would be. That I am scared and excited each time something new pops up to heal. I will say that changing my mindset helps me control my emotions and allows me to stay steady instead of reactive. I will tell you that finding myself has been a hell of a ride, and it ain’t done yet.

I have spent my entire career in pink-collar roles. Doing the work that held everything together while the credit went somewhere else. Even when I got the title and pay I deserved, they tried to say my accomplishments were given to me. I know what all this costs. I know what it is worth. And I know exactly what happens when we lose the human inside it all.

That changes here.

We are bringing pink-collar workers forward.

To finally meet themselves, and show them that they are worth it all. That they can dream big. That they do not have to stay small inside their world. That you can be a pink collar worker and have it all, doing things you love.

If you found your way here, you probably know exactly what I am talking about. You have been the person in the room who saw what was broken before anyone else did. You have done the work without the title. You have carried more than your share and smiled through it.

We do not have to do that anymore. Not alone anyway. We can change the perception. Most importantly, we can change ourselves.

Pink Collar Works is built for women and founders who want to do it differently. For people who deserve better than what the old playbook offers.

Welcome. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. We create change by working together.
