Drop The Coconut
Roi Perets
Drop The Coconut is a story about letting go. This is my story of leaving the big life in NYC and leaving everything that felt safe behind. It is a story of self-discovery that I hope will inspire you to find the coconuts you are holding and maybe drop one or two along the way. Tune in and join the journey!
Dropping the coconut on Career paths
One of the biggest coconuts Ron and I are holding is our career coconut. I have been working in the fashion industry for two decades, and while I love design and fashion, I forgot to check on myself to make sure my path aligns with my values and dreams. Although I dropped that coconut a while ago, I still find myself diving into conversations with Ron about it, and I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to a friend of ours, Meghan Houle. Meghan is an executive recruiter, a Luxury and Specialty Retail Master Coach, and the host of the fabulous podcast: Pivot with Purpose, where she discusses Career Development and Executive Leadership. If our conversations spark something within you, or you have a "Drop the Coconut" moment that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. - you can find me on Instagram: @dropthecoconut, on LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

Dropping the coconut on time.
In this episode, Ron and I talked about our journey so far. We kept talking about our decisions, and one element kept coming up: Time. Change takes time. And when we tried to track back to the moment it all started, we went back all the way to the moment we met. The seeds of our then future journey were there! If our conversations spark something within you, or you have a "Drop the Coconut" moment that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you.

In this first episode, I am discussing with my husband Ron Thurston, the events that led to us leaving our big careers behind and leaving NYC to travel in an Airstream across the US. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. I hope this conversation will inspire you to find the coconuts you may be holding and maybe drop one or two along the way.
