EP86: Let’s be real—your twenties are often hyped up as the best years of your life, but they can also be some of the most challenging. In today's episode, I'm going to open up and share a mix of experiences, from the wildest birthday parties to those moments of reflection where I wonder, “What was I thinking?”

Your twenties are meant to be a struggle. We have all been there. Dating mistakes, money problems, major hangxiety, outgrowing friendships, and feeling like we don’t fit in. 

We've all had our fair share of dating mistakes, financial struggles, and times when we’ve felt like we just didn’t fit in. I'll delve into my own journey, discussing moments of confusion, the pressure to please others, and why embracing your true self is so important.

If you are feeling lost, you are not alone. It is a decade full of uncertainty. So grab your headphones, and let’s get into it.

Episode highlights

• My parents came to town 
• My teenage years
• Letting old relationships go 
• People-pleasing in your twenties 
• Feeling like I did not belong
• No one thinks about you as much as you think they do 
• Trying to do good things in my life that help other people 
• Having kids and your biological clock 
• Boujee Bestie Trip
• Invisalign

EP84: Like most BFFs right now, my friend Lisa and are getting down and dirty discussing the most recent season of Love is Blind. We're sipping wine to get the convo flowing, and we're ready to unpack all the unhinged behavior from this season. Let me give you a sneak peek of our unfiltered opinions: Trevor is just seeking fame and attention, Chelsea is not exactly a Megan Fox lookalike (no offense), Johnny seems to be clueless about protection (but we hope he figures it out for Amy's sake), Sarah Ann and Jeremy are the worst, and someone needs to check on Matthew (although AD might be doing that post-show). As for Clay, he's either a weak man or a work in progress (but he needs to step it up).  We have a lot more to say and trust me, you don't want to miss it. Our final question is for all of you: Is love blind? Grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we laugh, vent, and spill all the tea on Love is Blind. It's a wild ride, and we're here for it. Episode highlights… Would you do reality TV just to get famous?

EP82: This week, we're diving deep into the world of female friendships, but we're taking it a step further than just "Girl Code." We're exploring the importance of respecting yourself and your relationships. I personally believe in holding myself and those around me to a very high standard. I would rather have very close friendships or none at all. I mean, what's the point of giving so much of yourself to others if you're not getting anything in return?  Ladies, it is time we stop wasting our energy on less than relationships. This episode is all about respecting yourself, setting high standards, and building connections that enrich your life. So, grab your pen and paper as I share 22 girl code rules to live by. Oh, and if you only leave this episode with one piece of advice… PLEASE don’t be the friend that “ex-hops.” It’s not cute. XOXO let’s go :) Episode highlights: NEVER sleep with your best friend’s ex Going out rules in girlhood  Never leave a girl behind at the bar  Successful people don’t go out past 3 am Be a better plus one at events  Tell your girlfriends if they have a wardrobe malfunction How to post photos of your friends  CARE if your friend lives or dies  Hype up your friends at all times  Timestamps:  0:00- 2:20 | Intro 2:20- 4:00 | #1 rule of girlhood  4:00- 12:45 | Going out rules in girlhood 12:45- 16:30 | How to appropriately interact with others  16:30- 20:50 | Hyping up your friends and putting them first  20:50- 22:05 | Sneak peek into my exciting new business ⁠Alo Moves: ⁠Use code KOKO30 for 30 Day Free Trial and 20% Annual Membership CONNECT WITH KOKO ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kokobeaute/⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@kokobeaute⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/boujeebestfriend⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://boujeebestie.com⁠⁠  ⁠⁠https://m.youtube.com/@KokoBeaute Girl Code Pt. 1 Girl Code Pt. 2

EP81: Welcome back my soon-to-be social butterflies! I'm so excited about this episode where I am sharing my pro tips to help you stand out in any social scene. When I say "social scene," I mean any environment you find yourself in—whether it's at work, out with friends, networking events, or any other social situation where you want to shine.  

One of my strong suits in life is my ability to connect with people. I thrive in any setting because I understand how to build connections, leave a positive impression, and make genuine relationships. I was not always this great at connecting with people. However, after using these tips, I built the confidence I needed to dominate any social scene.  

Whether you're aiming to snag an invite, expand your professional network, or simply become everyone's favorite person, this episode is made for you. Let’s go :) 

Episode Highlights:

Networking

How to make people like you 

How to be the person who gets invited to every event 

Creating positive vibes 

Start remembering people’s names 

Just. Be. Nice. 

Acknowledging other people to show you care 

Don’t be the person who brags 

Posture and shaking hands

Making others feel important means they are going to like you

EP80: Grow up and glow up! In this episode, I am talking about (literally) everything to help you level up your life. Hair, nails, skin, sleep, makeup, wardrobe, meditation, daily habits, and working out, are a few of the many topics I am covering. I know my Boujee Besties always strive to be the best versions of themselves. But, there is always room for improvement. After all, we are always a work in progress. When you hear the word “glow up” what comes to mind? When I think of the word, I think about someone becoming a more confident and hotter version of themselves. Glow ups are both internal and external. It’s not always just about looks. The true glow up starts from within. I know that social media puts pressure on us to be fit, have perfect skin and hair, and that everything has to be fabulous. But in reality, what matters most, is how YOU feel. So take out your pen and paper and start taking notes, because I am giving you every tip and trick to glowing up.  Episode highlights: Deprogramming yourself  Glow Ups are internal  Nails and hand care Taking care of your hair  My skincare routine  Cleaning up your wardrobe  Learning how to do your makeup  Small things you can change in your life that go a long way Journaling, meditation, and taking care of yourself Daily habits to level up your life Time stamps: 0:00- 4:00 | Introduction  4:00- 7:30 | How to start your glow up with deprogramming yourself  7:30- 13:40 | Taking care of your nails and hair  13:40- 19:30 | Skincare 19:30- 21:40 | Wardrobe clean up   21:40- 24:15 | How to find a makeup routine that works for you 24:15- 36:20 | Tips that go a LONG WAY for your glow up   36:20- 41:20 | Daily habits for your glow up  41:20- 46:15 | Changing your mindset and habits  CONNECT WITH KOKO: https://www.instagram.com/kokobeaute/ https://www.tiktok.com/@kokobeaute https://www.instagram.com/boujeebestfriend https://boujeebestie.com  https://m.youtube.com/@KokoBeaute
