The Raw & Real Side of Starting Over

The real side of Conversational Freak

Hey Beautiful Souls,

You might know me as that girl who teaches bedroom mobility and talks about intimate wellness (yeah, that's me 😉). And while I absolutely love empowering women to own their confidence and advocate for their needs, – being the "sex educator" comes with its own set of challenges. Sometimes people see the highlight reel on social media and make assumptions, forgetting there's a whole human behind these conversations about intimacy and wellness.

That's exactly why I created "Intimately Coco." This newsletter is my escape where I can put down the professional hat and just be... me. No filters, no perfectly curated content, no algorithm to please. Just raw, unfiltered conversations between us. Because honestly? Your girl needed a break from the noise. The constant judgment, the DMs, the pressure to maintain a certain image – it was getting heavy. So heavy that I found myself booking a one-way ticket to Colombia. Because sometimes, when America's energy gets too thick with negativity and expectations, you've got to step away and breathe different air. And let me tell you, these Colombian mountains? They've got stories to tell.

I'm writing this from the mountains of Colombia and yeah, it's my birthday – a day that usually comes with more emotional baggage than a long-haul flight.

Let me be honest- Birthdays have always been complicated for me. They've been a mix of lonely moments and memories tied to people who left scars. For years, I just wanted these days to pass quickly, like ripping off a band-aid.

But here's the plot twist...

This year, I'm choosing different. I'm sitting here, next to my future husband, surrounded by mountain air that feels like freedom, and I'm starting something new. This newsletter – "Intimately Coco" – is my birthday gift to myself, and to you.

Why? Because somewhere out there, you might be: Fighting through depression's fog, Dancing with anxiety, Wrestling with loneliness, Standing at the edge of pain, wondering what's on the other side.

Let me tell you something: the view from the other side? It's breathtaking. But here's the catch – you've got to choose it. Every. Single. Day.

And no, this isn't some "just think positive" bullshit. Healing isn't a straight line – it's more like salsa dancing. Sometimes you move forward, sometimes back, sometimes you step on your own toes. Trust me, I still have days when old memories crash the party uninvited.

But the difference? It's in how we choose to respond.

So here's my promise to you: This newsletter will be your front-row seat to my unfiltered journey through womanhood. The good, the bad, the mascara-running-down-your-face moments. No highlight reel, just real life in all its messy glory.

Because your story matters too. And maybe, just maybe, by sharing mine, you'll feel a little less alone in yours.

Here's to choosing differently, Coco 🤍
