Cocoanut Grove

My toxic trait is...well I guess you will have to tune in! This week, Katie and Ashleigh discuss the phenomenon of 'Toxic Traits' and how they affect ourselves and others. Ashleigh shares background on personality traits and how they are formed, while Katie helps identify specific toxic traits with her three part system. Are you working through some toxic behavior yourself? Ashleigh provides an easy guide to working through your traits to become the best version of yourself. Does all of this seem a little generalizing? Katie touches on how the language we use to describe someone's behavior can be covered in ableism. Lastly, Ashleigh leaves the pair with a couple of questions to ponder on our own traits and experiences with others.

So long Solos! At least for now. This week, Katie is joined by a very special guest, temporary podcast host, and boyfriend: Nestor Fuentes! Nestor is a self-taught fine dining chef with an ambition of earning a Michelin Star. In this episode, Katie attempts to understand what it's like to be a chef, the role cultures play in food, and how someone with refined taste finds a new place to eat. Stay through the end of the episode to hear his recommendations of the best: Tacos, Vibe for a Birthday, Drinks, Vibe for a Date Night, and hands down best meal in Los Angeles. This episode is equal parts entertaining, and informative. Get it while it's hot!

As you've heard week after week, Katie has been experiencing an identity crisis, and this conversation is a look at how she has been approaching this. Get your notebooks out, jot these tips down, and get ready to get in touch with the real you!

It's a solo episode week! Whaaat?! Yes, Katie is flying solo for the first time and bringing to you a heavy topic that was on her mind a lot during her week out. This week on the Cocoanut Grove, we are talking Trauma, Families, and Genetics, and how it all ties together. Learn about intergenerational trauma, epigenetics, and examples of how trauma affects minority groups. Also, learn about a type of therapy that is recognized as the leading form of therapy for PTSD.

What's the most "LA" thing we could talk about this week? Plastic Surgery of course! This week, Katie and Ashleigh have a discussion on all the most frequently asked questions about Plastic Surgery, such as 'What are the most common procedures', 'Do lip injections hurt', and 'When is the right time to get botox'! But is plastic surgery only for the vain and the vapid? We think not! In this discussion, your favorite hosts break down the stigma, the privilege associated, and why plastic surgery should be a healthcare essential. Come for the facts, stay for the experiences! Ashleigh asks Katie about her plastic surgery experiences, and Katie asks Ashleigh what she plans to do this month. Educational, fun, and so very LA. This is the Coconut Grove Podcast!
