In this episode of The FocalFlip Podcast, I sit down with Arron Cope, the Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Independence, Kentucky, to talk about leadership, community, self-care, and what it truly means to live life with intention.
The first 25 minutes of the conversation dive into Arron’s background and her role within the City of Independence. What began as a part-time position has evolved into a full-time leadership role, fueled by her passion for community and a growing interest in political science. For Arron, community isn’t just part of the job — it drives everything.
We also explore Arron’s deeply personal journey with self-care. As someone who has always poured into others — as a wife, mom, employee, and leader — she reached a point where she realized she wasn’t fully utilizing her gifts and talents because she wasn’t caring for herself. When COVID hit, it became a turning point. Arron made the decision to live her best life, not only for herself, but so she could better serve and help others do the same.
Throughout the episode, Arron shares powerful insights on:
– Living your life with intention
– Being comfortable getting uncomfortable
– Embracing being imperfectly perfect
– Valuing time above all else
– Avoiding complacency
– Mindset and performance
– A 100-pound weight loss journey
– Balancing family life
– Growth, purpose, and personal transformation
This conversation is a reminder that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential — and that when you show up fully for yourself, you show up better for everyone around you.
