Beauty and Becoming is a sanctuary for women who are ready to stop fixing themselves and start meeting themselves. Hosted by Coco — licensed esthetician, Reiki practitioner, certified Ayurvedic health instructor, and intuitive catalyst with over twenty years in the beauty industry — this show explores beauty not as something to apply or correct, but as something to remember. Something that has always lived within you, waiting to be revealed. Each episode is an invitation to come home — to your body, to the essence of your unique beauty, and to the wholeness that was never actually missing. We talk about holistic self-care as a devotional practice, beauty as a threshold to the Divine, and the real, honest, sometimes messy process of becoming who you actually are. Beauty isn't something we apply. It's something we awaken. New episodes every week. Come as you are.

    111. Embodied Becoming: Integration, Integrity, & the Courage to Be Seen by Yourself

    Send us Fan Mail This week's episode arrived a little later than usual... on purpose. A week of heaviness, density, and overwhelm was asking for the spaciousness to be felt rather than fixed. I needed some time to mother myself before showing up in this space.  That practice of allowing became the doorway into today's conversation: taking becoming out of the conceptual and into the embodied. Last week's episode explored becoming through the lens of integrity and wholeness on a broader scale... this week, we bring it home into the Self. Set against the backdrop of Leo season and the collective energy of visibility and boldness, we ask a quieter, deeper question: Who are you really needing to be seen by? This episode explores: What it means to radically witness yourselfDefining what it means to live into our own personal golden era of successExperiencing our lives instead of consuming our livesThe pause as a practice: re-calibrating to our North Star regularly Podcast Episodes Mentioned: 110.

    109. Trusting the Unfolding & The Force of Tenderness

    Send us Fan Mail Today's episode feels incredibly sacred to me. These birthday episodes have become something I never intended them to be… They're love letters to my past and future selves. They allow me to witness not only how much life can change in a year... but how faithfully our intentions continue unfolding, even when life takes us somewhere we never would have chosen ourselves. A year ago, I couldn't have imagined what was waiting just beyond my birthday. Within days, everything I thought I knew about my life began to change. There was profound healing. Profound loss. Profound surrender. And ultimately… a profound coming home to myself. Today, I want to share what it's been like to look back on that journey from where I stand now, entering my 36th year of life. We'll talk about intentions, trust, grief, spiritual practice, self-care, and the beauty of never truly knowing what miracles — or initiations — are waiting just around the corner... beyond the thresholds of our lives.  I'll also share why this birthday feels intertwined with another birth entirely: the evolution of this podcast from Self-Care Sermon into Beauty and Becoming. I invite you to soften wherever this episode finds you now... and I invite you into this next chapter with me.  xxo, Coco Podcast Episodes Mentioned: 108.

    108. She's Getting a New Name...

    Send us Fan Mail Today I am sharing an exciting announcement... After 100+ episodes, this sanctuary has a new name! In this short and tender episode, I share the story behind the rebrand... from Self-Care Sermon to Beauty and Becoming... and why it was through deep self-inquiry that made this evolution not just possible, but inevitable. This isn't just a name change. It's a rebirth. A reclamation...  Of beauty as something full and true and innate.  Of self-care as a devotional practice, a doorway back home to yourself.  Of a sacred thread that has been woven through my lifetimes.  Nothing else is changing. Same voice. Same honesty. Same weekly episodes. But something deeper is emerging... Welcome to Beauty and Becoming.

    106. Bonus Re-Release | Self-Care Through Grief | With Bruna Afonso

    Send us Fan Mail In the spirit of celebrating 100 EPISODES (!), I am re-releasing some of my (and your!) favorites!  Today's re-release is extra special, because Bruna is my Cancerian sister, also celebrating a birthday this month!  ____________________________________________________ Today's episode is probably one of my favorites that I've recorded so far... there is so much resonance and beauty and so many synchronicities that came up for me personally through this conversation... it just felt magical and aligned. I am so grateful to have such an incredible woman and friend like Bruna in my life, and also to have her share so openly on this episode about the loss of her mother, her recent divorce, and re-discovering her identity through grief... or as she says, when life isn't  "sunshine and waffles".

    105. Self-Care with the Seasons: The Energy of July Says... It's Time to Come Home | With Carly Whorton

    Send us Fan Mail It is that time again! I am back with the wonderful Carly Whorton for our monthly energy chat for July.  First, we take a moment to honor and reflect on how the energy that we discussed for June showed up in our lives over the course of the last month. Then, I share the oracle card that I pulled for the month of July and how the mythological story of the Selkie Woman illustrates the themes that are so potent during this season.  Carly then guides us through all of the major astrological events and transits that are happening in July - and it's a big moment.  As Carly explains, July is a powerful bridge, and we are being asked to explore: Which of our two wolves are we feeding?Where do we need to re-examine and re-prioritize our needs?Where are we placing acceptance above freedom?Are we nurturing past versions of ourselves, or the version that we are becoming? And are we honoring all parts of ourselves in the process?Are we using our personal power to serve ego or collective consciousness? This episode explains why we are entering into double king energy and what Hermione can teach us about freeing the dragon.  July challenges us to make our desires bigger than our need for approval, and offers a reminder that external validation does not equal security.

    104. Remembering Your Light When the Sun Stands Still

    Send us Fan Mail Today's episode is an intentional pause.  This held breath moment in time where we consciously remember to fully experience the exhale.  It is about the moments that ask us to come Home to ourselves.  The moments that reveal something that we may have forgotten… but never lost.  It is about releasing the expectations, the "shoulds", the obligations… and coming back to the core of your Truth, your Essence, your Light.  Let this episode become a sanctuary for you… holding you in whatever moment it finds you in.
