I saw a comment on one of my ads the other day that said she used to follow me for marketing advice but now I’ve “sold out to Collective.”
And while she’s allowed to feel that way, I couldn’t disagree more.
I’ve used Collective for almost 5 years. I’d honestly be lost in the backend of my business without them lol.
And yes — they run a lot of ads that are probably following you around the internet 😂
But they also pay me really well to do it. And that money has been a huge reason I’ve been able to stay afloat through two maternity leaves, two rounds of barely working while paying myself a full salary, and four years of trying to raise babies and keep my business afloat at the same time.
It hasn’t been easy (like at all lol) but clients like Collective are the reason it’s been possible and I’m so grateful for them.
At the end of the day, my superpower is making content that converts for brands, and I built an audience that lines up perfectly with a company I actually love working with.
That wasn’t luck — I built my business, platform, and audience strategically for a decade specifically so this could happen.
Those ads (along with my other UGC and partnership content) are what let me be a mom first.
And if that could inspire even one woman to build something of her own that gives her the same freedom, that’s 1000% worth it to me every time.
And to everyone who roots for me when my ads pop up — thank you. It means more than you know, to me and my little fam. 🥹
