COLETTE BEFORE FORDIFY

Before stepping into the Fordify experience, Colette VanPaemel had already built a vibrant online presence rooted in authenticity, humor, and realness. From makeup tutorials to raw midlife reflections, her community loved her. But she felt stuck.

“I’ve lived so much life—and I still felt like I didn’t have a real brand. I just didn’t know how to pull it together.”

She had success as a beauty affiliate, overcame enormous personal trauma, and began building her health and wellness business—but her presence lacked clarity. She knew her message had weight. Her story had depth. And her voice had power.

But none of that was reflected in her brand. She was ready to evolve beyond the grid of random content—and rise into the leader she knew she could be.

DISCOVERING FORDIFY

Colette had followed Emily Ford for some time—but when she attended the Bloom Where You Are Planted masterclass, something cracked open. She knew she had to go all in with Emily and Fordify My Brand VIP services.

“By the end of the session, it was like a light inside me turned on. I couldn’t ignore it.”

She didn’t just sign up for a design package. She committed to a reintroduction of who she really was. To herself. To her audience. And to the women who needed her story.

THE BRAND DNA EXTRACTION

Colette’s Brand DNA session with Emily felt like therapy—a safe space where decades of story, identity, hardship, and hope could finally take form.

“That call reminded me that I’m not just someone with a past. I’m someone with a mission.”

They explored everything: childhood trauma, career pivots, confidence wounds, her experience with cancer, her transformation in health and mindset, and her rebellious heart against aging stereotypes.

Through the conversation, Emily unearthed:

  • A brand rooted in truth-telling, confidence, and reinvention

  • Her unwavering desire to help midlife women reclaim their spark

  • Her rejection of toxic age norms and her call to help women look and live younger, longer

  • Her legacy as a “Come With Me” guide—not a “Look At Me” brand

Her message was clear: Midlife isn’t a death sentence. It’s the doorway.

THE DESIGN STRATEGY

THE DESIGN STRATEGY

THE DESIGN STRATEGY

Colette’s visual identity needed to capture both her strength and softness. Her truth-telling edge and her deeply loving core. Her personal brand wasn’t about fitting in—it was about setting women free.

The Fordify creative team designed a bold but graceful system:

  • Logo: Elegant serif wordmark with a unique signature stamp

  • Color Palette: Bone white, olive green, soft blush, and espresso black—mirroring her wardrobe and story

  • Typography: Retro-inspired, feminine fonts with editorial elegance

  • Pillars: Midlife Mindset, Wellness & Beauty, Anti-Societal Norms, Self-Worth, Real Talk

  • Brand Feel: Classy, confident, anti-performative, empowering, unfiltered

“It finally felt like I had something that reflected who I am—and who I’ve worked so hard to become.”

THE BRAND REVEAL

When Colette opened her Brand Bible, the emotion hit fast.

“I felt seen. Like the ‘me’ I’ve always been was finally allowed to take the stage.”

The call started with first reconnecting—but Colette could feel the anticipation building. As Emily shared her screen and began walking through the visual identity—the mood boards, logos, fonts, and colors—Colette’s breath caught.

There was a stillness on the Zoom. The kind of stillness that comes when something hits right.

The tone of the palette. The richness of the green. The sophistication of the pink—not too girly, not too loud, but exactly the kind of elegant edge Colette had been craving.

“I’ve never had anyone describe me as having ‘magnetic energy,’ but that’s how this brand feels. It’s me, in a way I’ve never been able to explain before.”

Emily reminded her that personal branding isn’t about inventing something new—it’s about revealing who you really are. For Colette, this moment wasn’t just visual affirmation. It was emotional closure.

She saw all the different versions of herself—polished, raw, hilarious, wise—finally represented in one cohesive identity.

“This lets me be all the women I’ve been—and still keep it all together.”

Emily walked her through each element—her mood board, color palette, logo suite, and messaging. Together, they laughed, cried, and celebrated the many “versions” of Colette that now had a place to belong within one cohesive brand.

THE VIP EXPERIENCE

At Fordify Studios, Colette came alive.

The moment she walked through the doors, it was clear this day would be unforgettable. From the first swipe of blush to the final reel recorded, every detail was designed to help Colette feel like the elevated, magnetic woman she had worked so hard to become.

She was welcomed by our production team, stylists, and content directors—all fully briefed on her brand story, color palette, and content pillars. There was no guesswork, no pressure—only presence.

“This was the first time in a long time I stepped into the spotlight—and it didn’t feel scary. It felt like home.”

Colette moved from glam to wardrobe changes with confidence. With each scene, her energy grew. Emily worked closely with her behind the camera, asking intentional questions, creating space for real talk, and celebrating every take that captured her essence.

By mid-afternoon, she was no longer just creating content—she was owning her voice.

She recorded:

  • 20+ short-form real talk videos

  • Lifestyle and leadership reels

  • A photoshoot that showcased both her softness and boldness

  • A private lunch with Emily, filled with faith, reflection, and vision

As one team member said, “She didn’t just shoot a brand—she stepped into her legacy.”

Colette left not only with stunning deliverables, but with a renewed sense of confidence, joy, and purpose. She walked out of Fordify Studios taller, freer, and more herself than ever before.

AFTER BECOMING FORDIFIED

AFTER BECOMING FORDIFIED

AFTER BECOMING FORDIFIED

When a woman is Fordified, it’s never just about the logo or photos—it’s about unlocking the full expression of her voice. That’s what happened for Colette.

Her new brand didn’t just elevate her visuals—it activated her confidence. It gave her clarity, structure, and momentum. She wasn’t second-guessing what to post or how to show up. She had a system, a strategy, and most importantly—a message that matched her soul.

The ripple effects started immediately:

  • She began posting with more clarity and consistency

  • Women DM’d her about how they felt “seen” by her message

  • She gained new affiliate partners and opportunities

  • Her voice deepened. Her audience grew. Her confidence anchored

“I had so many women messaging me on either wanting to be part of whatever I am doing or just how seen they felt with the content I was putting out for them.”

Now, her team has a leader who leads with purpose. Her brand is inspiring midlife women who thought they missed their moment. And her voice is louder than ever—because now, it’s aligned.

FOUNDER'S REFLECTION

FOUNDER'S REFLECTION

FOUNDER'S REFLECTION

Colette carries a rare kind of depth: she’s lived through things that would’ve broken most people. And yet, she shows up every day with humor, beauty, and truth. Helping her shape her brand wasn’t just another project—it was a divine assignment.

This brand wasn’t about making her look good. It was about honoring the many versions of her that had fought to survive—and helping her rise so that other women could do the same.

What made this experience extra personal was that I once lived in Minneapolis, the very city where Colette is now rising with her message. To be part of a woman’s reinvention not just professionally, but spiritually, and then watch her confidence light up an entire community—there’s nothing like it.

She reminds me what personal branding is all about. It’s not about being loud. It’s about being true.

Colette truly cares a "magnetic" presence to her and her new brand is simply a reflection of the woman she’s always been.

She made me a better leader. A better listener. And without a doubt, a more grounded woman in my own calling.
