Coffee with Cori

Following Your Joy with Caro Gomez


Listen Later

Vagina trousers.  Did I get your attention?  Great! On today’s show I’m interviewing Caro Gomez, who decided to pursue her passion and launch a fashion brand while raising a family, her mission to empower women through her work.  

We talk about how Caro tried to stifle her dreams for so long until a vision board made her see what she had to do next.  We talk about the stories we tell ourselves about why we can’t do something and what we can do instead when our subconscious is trying to keep up small.  We talk about following the joy and how we can pass that on to our kids. We talk about the stories that abound in fashion and creative industries - and heck all over the place - about how we can make great money doing what we love, but how this is a lie.  We’re talking about all of this and more. I absolutely loved interviewing Caro, I know you’re going to love her too.
