087 - Coco Villa of Casa De Coco

Making It In Asheville

In this episode, we interview Coco Villa, an exceptional multidisciplinary artist residing in Asheville, NC. Coco is constantly creating and during our conversation we fondly termed her a "slash creator." She is a clothing designer/self-portrait artist/filmmaker/dancer/model/creative director and the list doesn't stop there. She teaches us what it looks like to fluidly move (literally and mentally) through creative projects and how she is able to honor each step of the process.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

• How the "flywheel" of creating allows Coco to always have a steady stream of new projects
• What having a healthy relationship and emotional connection to putting art and creative content out to the world looks like
• Navigating the economics of an artist
• How to transform negative thoughts artfully and stay in the present
• How we can all benefit from using the Spoon Theory
