    98. The True Cost of Beauty: My Year Without Botox

    Send us Fan Mail There’s a difference between choosing something because it genuinely brings you joy… and choosing something because you’re afraid of what happens if you stop. And I think many of us — especially as women — have been conditioned not to question that line too closely. We are meant to shut up and look pretty.  Today’s episode is a very honest conversation about beauty, insecurity, self-worth, aging, the nervous system, and the complicated relationship many of us have with the reflection staring back at us in the mirror. As of this week… I have officially gone one full year without Botox. And while this episode does talk about cosmetic procedures, and my personal experience working in the beauty industry for so many years… this conversation is about SO much more than injections. It’s about: The true cost of beauty: financially, emotionally, mentally, societallyThe narratives and stories running on auto-pilot, or that we create, about our self-worth in relation to our appearanceSitting in the discomfort of comparisonQuestioning our beauty ritualsWhat it means to be receptive of our own beauty and how it relates to nervous system safetyI share very openly in this episode about my own journey with injections, the insecurity I have been experiencing, the ways my fertility and health journey shifted my perspective, and the deeper healing around learning to actually receive my own beauty without shrinking from it. This episode is about conscious confidence... about reclaiming sovereignty over our choices... about becoming intentional with the rituals, habits, and narratives we participate in... and offers practical tips for learning how to love ourselves more fully— with or without the things we once thought we needed. So whether you’ve never touched a cosmetic procedure in your life, or you’ve been getting Botox for years… Whether you feel deeply confident right now, or are quietly struggling with your reflection in the mirror… I hope this conversation makes you feel more informed and more in your own power.  Podcast Episodes Mentioned: 96.

    97. Making Your Life a Musical: Remember to Live

    Send us Fan Mail Today's episode is one of those simple, yet profound reminders that we need to return to again and again and again.  Everyone that I am speaking to lately is experiencing some sense of heaviness… and it is in that heaviness that we need to remember that we have the power to bring more light.  I was confronted with my own questions of self-worth recently, and in this episode we navigate the delicate balance between showing up for others and nurturing ourselves.  Together, we can walk each other home and re-discover how to reclaim our lives with ABBA (or your musical artist of choice), magic, love, and gratitude.  Podcast Episode Mentioned: 95.

    96. Why Your Body’s Signals Are Your Greatest Self-Care Guide: My Lessons Through Fertility Grief

    Send us Fan Mail Content Warning: This episode discusses difficult subjects, such as suicidal ideation, depression, mental health, trauma, and abuse. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.  Today's episode is probably my most personal so far.  And yet it is certainly not intended to be just a beautifully polished narrative about ME.  It is recorded with the intention of inviting you into a safe space where you might not feel so alone with anything you might be struggling with: health scares, fertility fears, relationship challenges, depression… LIFE. Admittedly… I have felt lost and alone myself for the better part of the last couple of years. And something that I have learned firsthand is: Healing doesn’t happen in silence.  Yes, we might need to go into the silence of our own Being to understand the wound that needs healing, but it is through vulnerability, openness, sharing, and radical honesty that we can find the light again.   Some of the topics explored in this episode are:  How to differentiate between hiding and incubating when it comes to your healing processThe importance of trusting your intuition and your body's wisdom over systemic medical adviceHow to choose and say yes to yourself, even if that might look like everything falling apartI hope that this episode will remind you that your journey of emergence begins in the dark, where transformation quietly and courageously takes root.  You, too, can become certified as an Ayurvedic Health Instructor with Gaja's premier training:  https://www.thegajacollective.com/?ref=6f7a78 Keywords: self-care, fertility, health journey, emotional healing, self-love, trauma, empowerment, spiritual growth Thank you for being here in this Self-Care Sanctuary!   Find me on IG @theselfcaresermon  Share with a friend who you think might need a serving of self-love  Rate and review as a small act of kindness  Follow and Subscribe to be notified of new episodes - weekly!  xxo, Coco

    95. Self-Care with the Seasons: The Energy of May Asks... Who do you think you are? | With Carly Whorton

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Carly Whorton brings her astrological expertise in a practical and grounded way, and we weave together my own intuitive practices, and our combined love of self-care to help guide you into stepping into your full agency and thrive in harmony with nature.   We explore how re-framing astrology as an energetic weather forecast can transform your daily experience, helping you surf life's inevitable waves rather than be crushed, swept away, or overwhelmed by the tides.  Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is perfect for those looking to discover practical insights to navigate emotional storms, deepen self-love, and step into your true agency right now.  We break down powerful concepts like the wounded healer, post-traumatic growth, and the profound impact of claiming your unique identity.  Carly generously offers a tool, she is calling the BBV (Brilliance, Blind spots, Values) to help you answer the question: Who do I think I am. These frameworks are not just abstract ideas— this goes far beyond mindset. You will walk away from this episode with tools to expand your self-awareness, resilience, and capacity for abundance.   We discuss how self-worth, boundaries, and clear communication—especially with yourself—are the keys to unlocking your next level.  Turn chaos into cosmic opportunity.  Become a co-creator of your own life, aligned with your most powerful and authentic Self.

    94. Messy Doesn’t Disqualify You, It Initiates You

    Send us Fan Mail There are seasons in life when everything feels clear, aligned, and moving forward… and then there are seasons that feel uncertain, tender, undone. The spaces where things are falling away before anything new has fully arrived. The in-between. The messy middle. In this episode, I want to talk about what it means to be in a season of transition — when you feel like you’re no longer who you were, but not quite who you’re becoming yet. The moments where life feels disorganized, chaotic, confusing, unclear, or difficult to make sense of. The places where we often judge ourselves the most, when maybe what we actually need is softness, compassion, and trust. Today’s conversation is an invitation to pause inside the becoming. To honor the cycles of death and rebirth that exist within nature, within our bodies, and within our lives. To explore how messiness may not be a sign that something is wrong — but evidence that something sacred is unfolding. I’ll be sharing a personal journal entry, reflections on the changing seasons, the symbolism of the “messy middle,” and practical ways to care for yourself when you feel overwhelmed, untethered, or caught between chapters. If you’ve been feeling like you’re in transition… if things feel uncertain, extra emotional, or not yet resolved… this episode is for you.

    93. Remembering the Body's Wisdom: Returning to the Love of Your Sacred Vessel in Taurus Season (and always!)

    Send us Fan Mail Content Warning: This episode discusses difficult subjects, such as trauma, abuse, disordered eating, self-harm, and body image. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.    Todays episode is a tough one… but a necessary one. I have done episodes like this in the past, and I can promise you that there will be continued conversations on these topics in the future. And that is really the point: we cannot have these conversations enough. Conversations about body image... about self love... about the less Instaglamorous sides of healing and self care.   If you are feeling a little off-center trying to navigate some sense of normalcy in your daily life while the world is in the state that it is… you are not alone. I want you to remember that your body is your most important asset. It is on your team. It is your partner. It is so worthy of your care and love and time and kind attention. Nurturing yourself will always be the greatest investment and I hope that the time you invest listening to this podcast offers a sense of nourishment for you.
