Paula is a former legal executive — writer, artist, fashion aficionado — who describes her life as glorious, tragic, beautiful and absurd. She built this place because the place she kept looking for didn’t exist. A premium editorial platform created by a real woman. A place that helps women with limited time navigate their own beautifully complex lives and respects the confidence and discernment they developed over decades.
It’s the place she looked for and couldn’t find. It’s early and she is glad you are here to make it the place you are looking for too.
Life can be hard.
Let’s say that out loud.
Joy and sorrow both live here comfortably.
And then we have fun.
We are early.
But what you will discover is:
We all need more time.
I hope this place helps you have more of it.
Well-spent time worthy of you — when you are here and when you are not.
A note from the founder
Why I built
this.
Most women have a few trusted friends with whom they share everything — the book that changed something, the discovery that surprised them, the hard thing they are quietly navigating. That circle is irreplaceable. But I kept looking for somewhere else, too.
Somewhere I was understood without having to explain myself first. Somewhere the particular joys and particular difficulties of this stage of life were taken seriously — not managed, not softened, not repackaged for a younger audience. A place where I could be seen, but stay anonymous if I chose. Where I might find the answer to a question I didn't yet know I was asking.
I spent decades as an attorney and executive. I moved across the country, built a career, built a marriage, rebuilt myself when that marriage ended. I lost my dog Charlie recently — the quietest, most constant presence in my life, gone in a specific silence that anyone who has loved an animal will recognize immediately. I know what it is to have a full, complicated, sometimes painful, often beautiful life — and to want a place that reflects all of it back without flinching.
That place didn't exist the way I wanted it to. So I am building it.
pursueyourpink is for the woman who is curious, deliberate, and building something worth having. She is not waiting to be discovered. She is already fully formed. She just wants content, community, and tools that treat her that way.
We are early. What you see here is the beginning. I am glad you are here for this part.
Live Today Better
The practical intelligence she actually needs — on wealth, health, home, relationships, and the everyday decisions that compound into a life. Useful, specific, never condescending.
Dream Tomorrow Bigger
The aspirational layer — reinvention, legacy, culture, travel, and what it looks like to build a second act that is more interesting than the first. Because it usually is.
The Stories That Connect
Personal essays, cultural intelligence, and the occasional corporate satire — because the most useful thing a platform can do is make a woman feel less alone in her specific, complicated, beautiful life.
