Life has a way of nudging us, or sometimes shoving us, into new directions. A career change we didn’t expect, a project that takes a turn, or a personal shift that calls us to reimagine things. Those pivot points can feel daunting, but they’re also where the most meaningful growth often happens. This season, we’re embracing that spirit of change, turning corners, opening doors, and exploring what’s possible together. Wherever your pivot leads, know you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Growth is a curious thing. It rarely arrives when we feel perfectly prepared. More often, it shows up while we’re knee‑deep in self‑doubt, imposter syndrome, or the temptation to stay cozy in what we already know. But here’s the real reminder: two‑thirds of people say they regret not taking more intentional career risks, and that includes not pursuing passions, negotiating harder, or simply saying yes when fear said no.

The rhythm of The Co-Co this week has been unmistakable, with focus and collaboration. Members have been powering through fall launches, grant proposals, and big client pitches, the kind of work that makes you wish coffee came via IV drip. In between, conversations have ranged from book recs to debates about which snacks are the best (spoiler: the clementines always disappear first 🍊). 

There is something about late summer light. It is softer, golden, and just different enough to make you pause for a moment. It is a reminder that change is coming and with it, a chance to see things from a fresh perspective. In business and in life, these seasonal shifts matter. They create space to ask bigger questions about how we work, connect, and show up. At The Co-Co, we offer more than desks and Wi-Fi. We are a network of people from diverse industries, learning, adapting, and creating together.

We’re back from vacation this week and slowly easing into the rhythm of late summer, not quite full steam ahead, but ready to re-engage, reconnect, and re-center. You don’t have to be on just yet. But if you’re starting to feel the pull toward routine, fresh ideas, or simply getting back into the swing of things, you’re not alone. We like to think of this time as a soft launch. Gentle steps forward, no pressure. A chance to experiment, get reacquainted with your rhythm, and lay a little groundwork before fall kicks into gear.

This time of year can feel… floaty. Routines are off, the calendar is unpredictable, and even the most grounded among us can feel a little untethered. That’s why we’re leaning into the energy of belonging this week. That steady, quiet sense of knowing you’re part of something bigger.

We’re halfway through 2025. Can you believe it? July is the perfect moment to pause, catch your breath, and ask yourself: How do I want the second half of the year to feel? We believe small, intentional shifts create powerful momentum. This month’s newsletter is all about simple ways to reset... no overhauls, no guilt trips. Just practical, feel-good steps to bring you back into alignment.
