Episode 89: Permission to be a Multi-Passionate Creative with Juanina Kocher of Flex & Flow Wellness

"What we do as our job, doesn't define us as people, we wear many hats." — Juanina Kocher

This week’s episode is about being a multi-passionate creative, being open to what you enjoy vs. putting yourself in a box. I am joined by Juanina Kocher, a health coach, yoga teacher, and consultant, who primarily supports mothers.

What’s in This Episode:

This episode is filled with a lot of laughs and personal shares! Juanina and I start with our love of the Italian Chopped Salad with Basil Swirls from Sakara Life. We are both ambassadors for the brand. We also both have backgrounds in the restaurant and hospitality world.

Juanina shares how she navigates modern motherhood and how she weaves in creativity throughout her busy day-to-day life. Juanina’s definition of creativity encompasses anything that excites you, which is so freeing!

In our conversation, she explains how excitement often becomes inspiration and weaves itself into problem-solving and uncovering new creative outlets. Juanina talks about creating room for creativity. And what a difference having space and quiet time makes for her creativity.

Topics Covered:

  • Modern parenting and what that means to Juanina

  • What it’s like to eat different meals or at different times than young children

  • How Juanina defines creativity and its connection to problem solving

  • Creating a bucket list for creative pursuits like pottery or cooking classes

  • Feeding your creative juices through cooking for pleasure and making new recipes

  • Wellness tools that don’t take an hour, a five minute meditation, 10-minute moment practice, or taking a walk

  • Moving through creative blocks by giving yourself space, having quiet time
