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.

112. Self-Care with the Seasons: The Energy of August Asks... Now What? You Get to Decide, Queen | With Carly Whorton
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Carly Whorton joins me again today for our monthly energy chat!
August is juicy... and this conversation goes way beyond astrology.
Carly and I explore:
- Honoring the seasons in our lives: the "still" seasons, the seasons asking us to walk away from what is no longer worth the "hard", and all the seasons in between
- How we relate to the difficult events in our lives and discerning between what is difficult and needs to be re-evaluated vs. what is difficult and our Soul needs us to push through (Spoiler alert: difficulty is always a messenger for our Soul growth!)
- The difference between growing pains and dying pains
- The thread being woven through June, July, and August
- Finding trust amidst the vulnerability of surrender, and reframing uncertainty as possibility
- Ways to set ourselves free from our own self-imprisonment
- The 10% method
- Why Leo season is asking us to RETURN to our desires... the joy and fun!
- The liberation that arrives with the knowing that your desire has your name on it, and your Soul will continue to lead you on the right path - you cannot get it wrong!

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!
