April 8, 2026·15 min·1 clip

Koko's pastor told her: 'The only people who need to be involved in your project are you, that person, and God—everyone else will slow you down.'

1. The Midnight Koko Show Episode 694 is a solo Wednesday Wisdom episode on UnKor Radio, following Monday's Episode 693 on Resurrection Sunday. 2. Host Koko opens by noting the show has been running since 2009—16 years at the time of recording—with a transition from Blog Talk Radio to Spreaker, Amazon, Spotify, and iHeart Radio. 3. The episode's central topic is a personal struggle: Koko is working on a project and cannot get clear responses from the people she needs to communicate with before moving forward. 4. She describes the project as exciting but nerve-wracking because she needs a 'yay or nay' before she can proceed professionally. 5. Koko says she holds a master's degree in communication and finds it especially frustrating when silence is used as a response, calling it something that 'does not fly with me.' 6. She distinguishes between silence-as-indifference ('they just don't care, so go ahead') and silence-as-avoidance, noting that either interpretation gives her permission to keep moving forward. 7. Koko says the silence 'makes me angry' and she would prefer even a short 'no' over no response at all. 8. She references her pastor's advice: if God put a project on your heart, move forward regardless of what other people say or do. 9. The pastor's framework is specific: the only people who need to be involved are you, the person the project is for, and God—no one else. 10. She translates this into a practical step: go directly to the essential person, ask a simple yes-or-no question, and act on the answer. 11. Koko notes that bringing too many people into a project causes it to 'go haywire' and that smaller circles produce more successful outcomes. 12. She advises listeners to stop, take a moment, breathe, and ask God whether to proceed before escalating or giving up. 13. The episode implicitly distinguishes between the people whose approval you legally or ethically need versus optional stakeholders whose buy-in you have been waiting for unnecessarily. 14. Koko connects this to a broader theme of walking away from people whose energy and purpose do not align with yours—'those are not the people you want to deal with.' 15. She admits she briefly considered giving up on the project but says the strength of the internal conviction kept her going. 16. The episode references a conversation with an unnamed trusted person who reinforced the pastor's perspective. 17. Koko's communication background (master's degree mentioned) frames her frustration as professional, not personal—silence violates a norm she considers basic. 18. The tone is personal and candid; Koko frequently acknowledges she is using the episode to process her own feelings rather than deliver a polished lesson. 19. The episode is approximately 15 minutes, solo format, with sponsor reads for LiveGood (livegood.com/rhythmandpoetry) and GotPrint.com. 20. Best for listeners who enjoy faith-informed motivational content about persisting through project frustrations; less suited for those expecting structured productivity advice or guest perspectives.

As heard by us

A blunt, grounded case for answering people instead of leaving them hanging.

This episode takes a small, familiar annoyance and makes it matter: the silence that follows a direct question. Miss Cocoa keeps coming back to the same plain point, which is that yes, no, or maybe is better than leaving someone hanging.
