    S5 Ep57 | Coco on using art and business as support in this challenging chapter of life

    My life is incredibly full right now and this episode we do a bit more unpacking together. I speak about how I'm choosing to let my art and business support me during this challenging time (spoiler: it's not financial support) and how I'm using my creativity to solve problems and pour my magic into all parts of this enormous project of moving my mom to memory care and selling our family home. 
    Thank you for being on this journey with me. I'm so grateful to have come back to making episode on the eve of my life changing course. I'm excited to use this medium as a way to alchemize it all (good and bad) and capture in real-time me stepping into my power, bringing peace to my family, and using creativity and compassion to close this chapter of my life.

    S5 Ep 56 Solo with Coco on the INCREDIBLE shifts that are happening

    S5 Ep 56 Solo with Coco on the INCREDIBLE shifts that are happening

    I'm back with the second solo episode of the season and let me just say-- It is STRAIGHT FIRE. Fully downloaded from the divine, I'd say :)
    I speak about the incredible shifts currently happening in my life, from my husband's retirement to finally convincing my mom to move into supported living. (Can you feel that ENORMOUS sigh of relief?!) It all happened at the exact same moment in time. WILD.
    I talk about finding the joy inside the hard, alchemizing the pain, and trusting in myself to always be able to support my wellbeing no matter what comes my way. And above all, the ability to set a positive intention and hold that vision. Intentionality is the key to living an inspired life. 
    Find all the mantras and affirmations I use throughout this episode in my Etsy Shop or on my website. Supporting the podcast can look like all sorts of things like buying my art, leaving a review, subscribing to the podcast, Dming, liking and commenting on Instagram, or just telling a friend about the work I'm putting out into the world. 
    Every bit helps because I believe we all have a Creative Self, and the more we learn about, pour into and tend to that side of us, the happier we will be.

    S5 Ep 55 | Justine Harrington on access points joy, building safety in our businesses, and following the nudges

    What a treat this episode was not only to record, but to revisit. We recorded this back in September and I see it now as a beautiful time capsule of just how hard things were for me back in the fall. 
    We speak about building safety in our businesses, listening to our intuition and following those nudges to create, and finding joy even in the hard times. It's a juicy one! It's a high vibe convo between two coaches that goes deep in all the ways. Satisfaction guaranteed!

    S5 Ep 54 | Solo with Coco: Your girl's BACK with updates

    I'm BACK in the podcasting saddle and am so thrilled to (finally) be back in the swing of things. Podcasting is something that I love and yet after taking a much needed rest, life got life-y and the pause turned into more of a hiatus. 
    In this solo episode, I share with you a lot of what was happening behind the scenes (spoiler: shame) and reveal new knowings I've come to learn about myself after my ADHD diagnosis. 
    I reveal LOTS of personal life updates on my husband's retirement from the Coast Guard, my mom's evolved diagnosis, and VERY exciting projects coming this spring. 
    As always, I pull back the curtain and take you behind the scenes as I journey through idea to execution, and share the joys and challenges along the way.

I have permission to connect with my creative self

I am so happy to have found this podcast and connect with Coco. Her energy, voice and storytelling are inviting. Her message to help me connect with my Creative Self is transforming my thinking in the ways I take care of all parts of myself. Coco is motivating to not just think I want to paint or draw or write, but believe its a part of my self care and important to my well-being. Thank you Coco for your message, living your message and getting it out in the world with this podcast.

Giving ourselves permission to make space for our creativity

I stumbled across Coco’s podcast and so much of what she shared resonated with me as a former creative business owner and mom. I really believe it’s so important that we find ways to bring creativity into our lives. I really appreciate how Coco not only gives listeners the permission to do this, but also shares her challenges and is not afraid to be raw and honest in the process.

Vulnerability and inspiration

Sitting at the edge of my seat as I listen to Coco as she shares all her vulnerabilities that I can so relate to and she also manage to inspire me in ways I have never thought about! A true gem! Thank you Coco for bringing YOU to us!
