Real And Relatable with Chloe DaCosta

Mar 10th, 2025

When Chloe DaCosta enters the room, it’s impossible to miss her bubbly spirit and wide smile. She’s a whirlwind of energy - a mix of infectious positivity and a calm, assured confidence that speaks volumes. There's a certain warmth about her that makes you feel like you’re sitting with a long-time friend, even if you’ve just met. She breezes in, effortlessly chic in a soft kaftan-dress that looks both stylish and comfortable. Her eyes gleam as she sets a steaming cup of tea in front of me, a ritual that clearly holds deep meaning. “I’m a big believer in the power of tea-time,” she says with a playful wink, pouring the liquid into a cup with the precision of a true tea connoisseur. “Tea is sacred here at Chateau DaCosta.”

Getting to Know Chloe

___

As we settle in, I can sense how much intention goes into everything she does - the tea, the space she’s created, and even the casual easy way she speaks about her life and work. Chloe is an entrepreneur, project manager, and wedding planner with a spirit that refuses to be dimmed by life’s challenges, including ADHD. Her drive is palpable, and it all comes back to purpose. She pauses, choosing her words carefully as she shares, “Honestly, it comes down to purpose. I believe that God has given me a unique set of skills to impact others.” She smiles, the kind of smile that lights up her entire face. “When I spent three weeks in the hospital, I realized life is too short not to go after what you want. That fuels me every single day.”

It’s clear from the start that Chloe’s energy comes from a deep place, a desire to create unforgettable experiences for others. But with multiple businesses to juggle, she knows how easy it can be to get overwhelmed. When the topic turns to self-doubt, she smiles a little, and takes a moment to reflect. “I remind myself that I’ve overcome hard things before, and I’m capable of doing it again,” she says quietly. “I take action even when I don’t feel 100% ready. Confidence comes from doing, not waiting.” I can tell these aren’t just words - this is her mantra, one that helps her push past moments of uncertainty and rise to the occasion.

Navigating ADHD & Life While Running Businesses

When I ask her how she manages ADHD while running multiple businesses, she’s quick to share her strategies. “Structure is key,” Chloe explains. “I have systems in place that keep me on track, like ClickUp for work, time blocking, and even physical timers to keep me from getting lost in the weeds.” She describes her daily routine with the kind of focus that would make anyone take notes.

But even with all the organization, she acknowledges the emotional toll of having both her parents diagnosed with cancer. “Some days, I don’t know how I’m functioning,” she admits. “But I make it work. I’m learning to take it one step at a time.” Her honesty is refreshing, and there’s no self-pity in her voice - just a fierce determination to keep showing up, no matter what.

Chloe's reminder to all women...

I ask Chloe about the challenges women face when balancing big life moments - like running businesses or raising a family - with everything else that life demands. She speaks with the wisdom of someone who’s walked that difficult path. “Give yourself permission to ask for help and to slow down when needed,” she advises, her voice steady and reassuring. She takes a breath, gathering her thoughts before continuing. “You don’t have to be everything to everyone all the time. Some seasons call for more rest, more boundaries, and more grace.” I can hear the gentle reminder in her tone: it’s okay to not be at your best all the time. “Surround yourself with people who get it...” she adds, her eyes meeting mine with the kind of sincerity that hits home. “...people who won’t make you feel guilty for prioritizing yourself.” Her words are a much-needed reminder to embrace grace in the face of life’s complexities.

Confidence, Style & Travel

As the conversation turns to style, Chloe’s playful side shines through. We chat about her recent outfit pairing the DAHLIA PANTS with a white blazer, and she lights up. “I love that look!” she exclaims. “You can be professional and still have fun with your style. It’s all about confidence. If you feel good in what you’re wearing, it’ll show.”

Chloe isn’t about playing it safe in business attire - she expresses her unique personality, even in the workplace. “Women are redefining what ‘professional’ looks like every day,” she says. “Find pieces that make you feel powerful but still reflect who you are. Bold colors, statement accessories - own it!”

Travel is a big part of Chloe’s life, and she’s got packing down to an art. “Dresses, dresses, and more dresses,” she laughs, adding that they’re her go-to for travel because they’re stylish and easy. “Swimsuits are a must for me, whether it’s a work trip or not. I will always find time for the beach or pool, no matter what!” Chloe’s style is all about mixing comfort with chic - a no-fuss approach to looking put-together, with a few fun prints and her favorite Longchamp bags to complete the look.
As the conversation winds down, I ask Chloe what she loves most about herself, and she smiles gently. “My resilience,” she says. “No matter what life throws at me, I always find a way to rise. And I do it with faith, a little humor, and a whole lot of grace.”
