It’s time for a change -- here’s what I’m doing 👇🏽
I’ve NEVER seen myself as a real “blogger”.
Back in the day I started a Tumblr account but after staring at the blank screen for hours that turned into days, I realised I had no clue what tf to write about.
At the time, I thought it was because I was scared to put myself ‘out there’…
The truth was, I had no idea who I was or what I stood for.
And I wasn’t feeling particularly inspired.
My corporate gig, marriage, the town I lived in, my exercise regime…all of it was sucking the life out of me.
I had nothing left to give to anyone else, much less myself.
I was lonely af.
I was horny af.
I was dying for attention.
I wanted to be *seen* so badly.
I wanted to be recognised and acknowledged.
But how could I expect others to see me when I couldn’t even see myself?
Cue *lack of self worth, self love, self recognition*
I was so fucking lost.
And I didn’t even know why.
It was pretty dire.
I look back now and I am floored by the self loathing I projected onto myself.
It’s no wonder I spent the next 10 years creating situations for it all to be confirmed.
Still, I have ZERO regrets about any of it.
If anything, I have eternal gratitude for how the last decade has played out.
So yeah, as someone who NEVER thought I’d share my life as openly as I have done for the past four years, it’s funny that I now proudly call myself a “blogger”.
The way I’ve shared and the things I’ve shared about has gone through its own evolution, and it’s what has led to you being here, reading this right now.
If I can give you a snippet of wisdom from all of my shenanigans, it’s this: try not to be too black & white about what you have planned for your life.
It’s good to plan (hell, I have a 50 year overarching vision) just don’t get stuck in the weeds or be so rigid that you miss other opportunities that come your way.
The beauty of life is in the fluidity and when we allow that to play out, we are rewarded with perspective and gifts beyond our wildest dreams.
I don’t meticulously plan anymore. In fact, aside from my 50 year vision and doing things that need to get done, I am mostly led by intuition. The rest I allow to unfold.
What to expect from the Coco Dee blog
Fresh financial wealth building content will be published every Wednesday
Depending on what’s going on in my life or the economy, there may be a few bonus editions but mostly it’ll be one value packed post per week
I’ll share my biggest takeaways from the week that was because I know sharing these nuggets allows you to learn, too
I’ll give you a few snippets of some of the rich and real convos we’re having inside Female Financial Literacy Library
There’ll be lots of discussion about money, investing and what’s going on inside my businesses: the wins / the losses / the frustrations / the journey
This is the platform I can give you absolutely EVERYTHING because unlike over on Inst*cough*gram #censorship is non-existent so I get to lay it all out for you.
Each week I’ll aim to bring you posts that are not just useful but also easy to read and consume over a cup of coffee or glass of wine - this is especially good news for all my fellow mums with full schedules.
Most of all, I absolutely encourage you to connect with me.
Tell me what you want to know more about. Whether it’s to do with investing, realestate, trading or the best saunas in Bali, if you have questions, send them through to hello@iamcocodee.com and I will dedicate posts to questions I receive.
Remember, this is all about YOU and your financial literacy.
This is a space where we can have conversations that are not had anywhere else.
For you to feel held in the mess, the losses, the wins, the crossroads, the big and small decisions -- all of it.
NEXT WEEK ON THE BLOG
