Life is not easy for anybody. Not even the rich, most privileged or the most successful. Everyone has to go through struggles, survive them and find happiness. It is often said the grass should not be judged from a far fence as one does not know what is going on, on the other side of it. Same is the case with humans. A kind word or gesture always helps because you don’t know what a person is going through even when they are smiling.

When Brooke Sevigny was in high school studying production and design she was diagnosed with a rare lung disease. By the time she was 16 years of age she was getting biweekly transfusions while her school life kept moving ahead. Everything exhausted her so much that her body as well as her relationship with peers suffered. She was not able to keep up with the studies.

But Brooke was not willing to give up so she worked harder and pushed hard thus securing a graduation a year earlier than expected. Her doctors were able to save her life. She was happy but also a realization hit her. Her privilege, her access to good healthcare bought her back from death.

She would have definitely lost her life in case she didn’t have access to such good doctors and treatments. Thus after finishing her high school, Brooke Sevigny decided to work with her doctor to help the underprivileged patients and their families who are facing rare diseases and financial problems.

The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.

This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.

It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.

“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.

A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.

“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
