Okay, lady in red! Come for the gorgeous photoshoot, stay for the growth and introspection that comes with regular therapy appointments. I wasn’t familiar with Coco Jones’ game (thatviral “and you would do it too for a check — I was an employee!” moment) until literal days ago but I’m glad to be meeting her here. “Very decisive, very opinionated, and very, very choosy” as we all should hope to be.
