Cocoanut Grove

Katie Dessin, Ashleigh Hansen

LA is: superficial, busy, careless, smelly, dirty, faithless...we've heard it all. Sure, we can acknowledge the parts of it that are less than ideal. But LA is also deeply connected, calculated, present, curious, creative, and passionate. There are multiple faces of LA, and anyone who visits will experience it in different ways. This city breathes. It's alive and commanding. Your best self lies on the other side of these experiences.Join us, Ashleigh and Katie, as we explore hot button issues and controversial topics with new perspectives to take away with each episode. Our mission is to help you welcome new ideas, inspire new conversations, and encourage curiosity. You don't have to be from Southern California to take away something from each episode. Our podcast will cover a wide range of topics such as alternative medicine, influencer lifestyles, spirituality, society & culture, and more. While we're both curious about the world, we are also millennial girls who love a drink, tiktok references, and some of the more 'superficial' things in life. Join us every Monday for new episodes!
