In this episode, Raven shares the journey that led her to apply to be on The Bachelor, her experience on the show, and how she navigated being a public figure afterward. She details how she and Adam were able to make a real connection on Bachelor in Paradise and how they are managing life as new parents.

On top of acting in iconic movies and tv shows, he is a very talented rapper and musician, streetwear clothing designer, gamer, influencer, and also host! Today Khleo spends his time creating content about the things he loves and is cultivating a community motivated to pursue their passions. Throughout this conversation with Khleo, I was in awe of Khleo’s groundedness and confidence. He knows who he is, what his talents are, and isn’t afraid to experiment with new ways to highlight his passions. He shares why he decided to stop producing music, how his family has kept him grounded, how he took months of studying Twitch before he launched his own channel and so much more. This episode will encourage you, inspire you, and possibly motivate you on taking the next steps to pursue your own passion and sharing it with others.

Jimmy Coco is the pioneer of personalized mobile beauty & tan. Co-founder, Jimmy Coco International, Skincare enthusiast & expert. Inventor- BUFF ‘N’ GLOW 3-in-1 full-body mitt. Known as the Celebrity Tan Expert and outside of celebrity clientele, he also is the man behind many of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.  Years ago, I met Jimmy Coco when he spray-tanned me. His care and attention made an impact on me. So it was delightful to have him come to the Vulnerable Studio and share with Brendan and me, the man behind the brand. Jimmy has lived many lives. Jimmy shares stories of growing up in Sacramento, feeling different, and knowing he wanted to experience life out of Sacramento. Jimmy details his experiences in modeling and singing. Finally, in learning about spray-tanning, he came up with a ground-breaking idea that would shift the industry, mobile spray-tanning. Despite Jimmy being the go-to tanning expert for the Kardashians, Victoria's Secret Models, and many more A-list celebrities, we learn how close Jimmy is to his family and how he values those familial relationships.   Finally, Jimmy shares about his legacy project, his documentary Sunergize with Jimmy Coco | The Salton Sea. You can watch it here. This episode highlights how family is important; whether it’s your birth family or found family, make time in your life to build relationships that will allow you to be yourself and loved.  You can follow Jimmy @jimmyjimmycoco on Instagram and @jimmycoco On Twitter.
