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!

Interviewing Jeff Liu CEO of the Made to Fade - Ephemeral Tattoo
We got tattoos for the podcast! What?!?
This week we are speaking with Jeff Liu, CEO of Ephemeral Tattoo, the only real tattoo that is made to fade in 9-15 months. Join us on this exciting interview where we learn the secrets behind the new technology that is that world’s first ever real tattoo that is not forever. As first timers ourselves, we talk about our experience with the process, our questions and concerns. We answer questions like “but does it really fade” and “what is it made of”. Learn more about what is making Ephemeral a trend setter in the tattooing industry that goes beyond the ink and hear why this is the tattoo studio for you.
This is a good one. Stay tuned for video footage on Instagram and Youtube for some behind the scenes takes and follow along with our fade journey.

Therapy Is In Session, Let’s Get Real
WELCOME TO SEASON 2!! Speaking of seasons, seasonal affective disorder is in full swing, even in sunny Los Angeles. This week in their most vulnerable episode to date, the ladies get raw and honest with each other in a live therapy session where they discuss what they are hurting from, healing from, and struggling to overcome. Ashleigh opens up about her overwhelming schedule and burnout, while Katie gets honest about her mental health and self identity. The CGP ladies react real time with no preparation to each others successes and failures in a way that they hope can heal, not just their own, but your winter blues too.
