Alongside her mother and co-founder Rosemary Alfredo, she reveals the exact moment she flipped her story and started building a company on her own terms.

From viral growth to hiring others with disabilities, Collette shares her strategies for scaling a purpose-driven brand that doesn't ask for sympathy—just results. If you've ever felt underestimated or counted out, this episode is your proof that resilience, consistency, and grit can take you further than credentials ever will.
