Everyone thinks Christy Carlson Romano had a storybook career. That she just sprang into Disney Channel stardom overnight, made millions, and lived happily after. Spoiler alert, she didn’t! There were countless failures along the way and there still are. The Vulnerable Podcast is an invitation to hang out every week with Christy as she invites friends, celebrities, and experts for in-depth conversations discussing the good, the complicated, the beauty of being human, and what it means to be vulnerable. Join Christy every Tuesday as we navigate the ups and downs of her guests’ paths to success.

Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with the Celebrity Tan Expert, Jimmy Coco. Jimmy Coco is the pioneer of personalized mobile beauty & tan. Co-founder, Jimmy Coco International, Skincare enthusiast & expert. Inventor- BUFF ‘N’ GLOW 3-in-1 full-body mitt. Known as the Celebrity Tan Expert and outside of celebrity clientele, he also is the man behind many of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.
Years ago, I met Jimmy Coco when he spray-tanned me. His care and attention made an impact on me. So it was delightful to have him come to the Vulnerable Studio and share with Brendan and me, the man behind the brand.
Jimmy has lived many lives. Jimmy shares stories of growing up in Sacramento, feeling different, and knowing he wanted to experience life out of Sacramento. Jimmy details his experiences in modeling and singing. Finally, in learning about spray-tanning, he came up with a ground-breaking idea that would shift the industry, mobile spray-tanning. Despite Jimmy being the go-to tanning expert for the Kardashians, Victoria's Secret Models, and many more A-list celebrities, we learn how close Jimmy is to his family and how he values those familial relationships.
Finally, Jimmy shares about his legacy project, his documentary Sunergize with Jimmy Coco | The Salton Sea. You can watch it here.
This episode highlights how family is important; whether it’s your birth family or found family, make time in your life to build relationships that will allow you to be yourself and loved.
