Welcome to your Healing Era

It all begins with an idea.

There is something truly magical about starting over. The opportunity for a new beginning, a clean slate. Even when a new beginning is wrapped in heartbreak, confusion, or unexpected change.

Maybe you’re navigating the silence after a breakup, rebuilding your life from scratch, or wondering why your timeline doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

I am here to tell you that…

  1. You’re not alone

  2. This probably isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time you’ll experience a shift like this

And that’s okay.

It’s time to start believing in healing gently, loving ourselves deeply, and rewriting the rules of what it means to “have it all together”.

We live in a world obsessed with milestones. Graduate college, get the dream career, get married, have kids, buy the house, buy the car, have the perfect body, live a “Pinterest” worthy lifestyle. But real life? It’s not perfect and it rarely unfolds that way.

The truth is: you’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

You’re right on time, YOUR time.

It shouldn’t always look the same or sound the same for everyone, and that's what makes life so wonderfully unique! Life would be incredibly boring and monotonous if everything were uniform and predictable. However, letting go of those annoying comparisons can be one of the most challenging tasks we face in our journey. It's a process that requires patience and self-compassion, but the freedom it brings is truly worthwhile!

Starting Over Doesn’t Mean You’re Starting from Nothing…You’re Starting with Experience!

You’re starting with wisdom — the knowledge of what feels right and wrong to you. You’ve already survived hard things. Now you get to choose what your next chapter looks like.

You don’t need all of the answers before you start. All you need is one grounding step forward.

Here’s a simple practice for you to try:

Morning Affirmation:

“Today, I give myself permission to begin again. I am not behind — I am exactly where I need to be.”

Try saying this aloud when you wake up or write it out in a journal. The goal is to re-center your energy into the present moment where the healing can actually happen. You have to first give yourself permission to start again. Beginning your day with a mindset filled with positivity and hope for all that’s to come will create the space for your future to beautifully unfold. Embracing this approach not only brightens your mornings but also sets the tone for every moment ahead.

If that practice helped ground you or inspired you to start your healing journey, there’s so much more where that came from. At Coco Jean Wellness, I’m building a space where healing is sacred, self-love is practiced daily, and growth is led by intuition— not pressure. You don’t have to embark on these changes alone.

The Wellness Edit

It all begins with an idea.

Hello, beautiful souls!

I’m so excited to welcome you to the very first blog post of The Wellness Edit!

Here we’ll explore the many layers of self-discovery, empowerment, and all things wellness. Whether you’re here for a quick dose of inspiration or ready to dive deep into your personal growth journey, you’ve come to the right place.

Let’s start with a little about me and why I created this space.

My name is Courtney, affectionately nicknamed Coco and I’m an Empowerment Coach. My very unique path began in, believe it or not, the world of crime scenes! My years as a Crime Scene Investigator and a member of a Law Enforcement Peer Support Team shaped my approach to resilience, clarity, and finding light in the darkest of moments. Trust me, when you’ve seen the worst of what life can throw at people, you learn a thing or two about bouncing back and thriving.

In my role as an Investigator, I was often called into people’s lives during their most challenging moments. Witnessing firsthand the strength individuals muster in adversity taught me the power of compassion and the importance of actionable steps in moving forward. These skills became the foundation of my coaching—helping people find clarity and resilience when life feels overwhelming.

Meanwhile, as a Peer Support Team member, I supported colleagues through personal and professional hurdles. Active listening, empathy, and collaborative problem-solving were at the heart of this role. The experience was profoundly fulfilling and sparked my passion for helping others rediscover joy and purpose, eventually leading me to become an Empowerment Coach.

Now, let’s get personal. Life has thrown its fair share of curveballs my way—heartbreaks, family illness, and the daunting task of starting over in my 30s. Picture this: living alone for the first time, paying all of your own bills, scared, and seemingly alone while trying to figure out who I really was — or who I let go of to please others. Sound familiar?

One of the most transformative chapters of my journey began with my first solo trip to CIVANA Wellness Resort in Carefree, Arizona. This wasn’t just a vacation; it was a soul-deep reset. Cold plunging, hiking, meditation, journaling—practices I’d dabbled in before—took on new meaning when I embraced them with intention and presence. Disconnecting from my phone and reconnecting with myself allowed me to truly see and believe in my own potential for the first time.

So, why am I sharing all this?

Because I know I’m not alone in these experiences. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a breakup, figuring out how to start over, or simply trying to connect with your inner self, I’ve been there, and I get it.

At Coco Jean Wellness and through this blog, I’m here to share what I’ve learned—both from my professional background and personal growth. This blog will be a blend of practical advice, empowering stories, and actionable steps to help you on your own path. Together, we’ll explore techniques for mindfulness, self-reflection, and building a life that feels authentic and joyful.

I’d love for you to join me on this journey. Subscribe to the blog, follow along on Instagram, and don’t hesitate to reach out. Whether it’s sharing your story, asking questions, or simply saying hi, I’m here for it all!

Thank you for taking the time to be here. I’m so excited to walk alongside you as we navigate the twists and turns of life together. Here’s to embracing our journeys with open hearts and curious minds!

With love and light,
