Beauty and Becoming
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.

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".

A note: Any book links you find here are through my Bookshop.org shelf. If you purchase through them, I receive a small commission — at no extra cost to you — and a portion also goes to support independent bookstores rather than a mega-retailer. It felt like a small, aligned way to keep sharing what I'm reading.
Thank you for being here in this Self-Care Sanctuary!
