The Kooch Chronicles: Embracing Wholeness and Well-being
Hi friends!
Welcome to the world of Kooch. This movement began as a twinkle in the eye, an idea for products, and has evolved over time into a universe all its own—a lifestyle, a content brand, a coven for fabulous, fearless women. Think of us like a cosmic cocktail party: we'll chat through blogs, podcasts, social media, and yes, our products (that we think will upgrade your feminine vibe to “sky-high”).
Kooch has become more than we ever dreamed because, let's face it, the internet has done us dirty. The pressure to be sexy yet not too sexy, young but not too young, maternal but not too maternal—it's exhausting! It's a heap of you’re-not-enoughness and we're here to toss that heap into the incinerator. We're on a mission to help women live their most delicious, fabulous, fun, and free lives.
This is a judgment-free zone. A place where you come for wisdom, healing, growth, health tips, and a good old giggle. While our name might suggest a narrow focus, we're actually chattering about everything under the sun (and a few things in the shade). Wellness, exercise, hormones, period cramps, fertility, dating, men, sex, feminine energy, tantra—you name it.
Grab your favorite coffee, kombucha or cocktail and settle in, because we're about to take a deep dive into the world of energies, femininity, and that magic thing called self-love. It's like a soul spa day, but with more laughing and probably less cucumber water.
A little about me? Well, once upon a time, I was a corporate lawyer. Then I moved to Costa Rica, had kids, became an entrepreneur, and eventually a single mom. I journeyed through the trials of co-parenting, and although the path was bumpy, I was determined to keep my children's father as their hero. But when the dust settled, I realized I'd forgotten about me. I was so disconnected from my emotions that I had to take drastic measures.
My journey led me to Ayahuasca in Peru. I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, but for me, it tore down the walls I had built around myself. I realized all I had to do was choose to be who I wanted to be each day, and that was enough.
Post-Peru, I underwent a series of transformations. I removed my uncomfortable E-cup breast implants, ditched my dyed blonde hair, and finally, I saw me. And boy, did I like what I saw! I changed my wardrobe from skinny jeans to floaty dresses, and found a new comfort and confidence in my femininity. This was not about sex; it was about feeling sensual, beautiful, and powerful.
I want to lay it all out there: the most critical source of my fulfillment and joy, the life force that makes me feel like I've swallowed a sunbeam, isn't what you might think. No, it's not my love for chocolate (though that’s a very close second), but rather, it's my sexual energy. Now, get your mind out of the gutter, because when I say "sexual energy," I'm not talking about sex, how sexy I am, or even how I have sex. Instead, I'm talking about how I feel as a woman. My femininity. My sensuality. My ability to waltz through life feeling beautiful, comfortable, confident, and softer than a marshmallow in a cashmere blanket.
The kicker? All that magic comes from being unapologetically, authentically, me. It's about facing the traumas that we've accumulated, like unwanted souvenirs, and dealing with the parts of our lives that don't align with who we truly are. It’s emotional spring cleaning - once you declutter your emotional baggage, you start to see the real you. And let me tell you, she’s a stunner.
This journey led me to explore the tantalizing world of tantra and feminine and masculine energetics. Prepare yourself for a deluge of posts on this subject because when I woke up to this in my own body, it was like I'd swallowed an espresso shot of life-altering realizations. Everything. Transformed. It was more thrilling than finding that last piece of the puzzle or the perfect pair of jeans on sale (and in your size, no less).
In this whirlwind of self-discovery, I also spent a good two and a half years basically – wait, scratch the ‘basically’ – 100% celibate. You see, I knew I was on a journey; I was growing a business, raising my small fries, and most importantly, figuring out who I was. So, I nestled into a safe space where it was just me with myself. A solo journey of self-love that made me as secure as a bank vault.
Now, here’s where the plot thickens. When I ventured back into the dating jungle, I was shocked. Why? Because the dating world didn't see me as a spinster with baggage but as a beautiful, mature woman, a proud mother, and a woman comfortable in her own skin. It was like being the star of my own RomCom, minus the cliché airport chase scene.
Fast forward to a year ago, and voilà, I met the love of my life. Picture a man entirely different from anyone I'd ever dated. A super masculine, quietly confident guy oozing the kind of healthy masculinity that can turn heads and knees to jelly. So sexy that it should probably be illegal.
And this, dear readers, is just the tip of the iceberg of what I want to share with you. I want you to know that there is a version of you that is confident, sexy, embodied, fulfilled and full of joy. And I think we can help you unlock her.
I hope you stay tuned and prepare for the rollercoaster of Kooch life. We're talking about health, feeling sexy in your skin, mental and physical tools, and much more. Welcome to the journey of living the most delicious and epic life. And remember, we're all in this together.
Gloss up ladies, it’s showtime!
With love,
Anne
Chief Kooch Officer
