Conversations With Coco + Friends

Ruth is an OG in the food game and started juicing long before juicing was even a thing. She's the founder of Fresh Restaurants, author of 5 incredible vegetarian cookbooks and an all around gem! We sat with her in our hotel room in LA to chat about how she brought Fresh from Toronto to LA and how a teeny tiny juice stand led her to build her empire today.

Make sure to follow Ruth on Instagram and Fresh Restaurants too!

Shannon Nadj is another Toronto friend and LA transplant who we LOVE. Coco and Shannon have been friends for almost 20 years and cheering each other on in their endeavours the entire time. Shannon is a celebrity trainer to Selena Gomez, Sophia Richie, Hailey Bieber and countless others; she's also an expert on Kourtney Kardashian's lifestyle and wellness brand Poosh. We sit down with Shannon over a bottle of Veuve and some Palo Santo to chat about how she developed Hot Pilates and started dominating the fitness industry.

Dhru Purohit, Founder of Broken Brain Podcast is one of the smartest people we've ever met -- bar none. We sat down with him in his Santa Monica studio, which he graciously lent us to use to record our podcast, and we went OFF. Buckle up for a slightly longer, but wildly informative conversation about friendships, loneliness, breaking habits and cultivating your best self.

In this week's bonus episode, we sit down with our girl Kayla Grey, an award winning journalist who is currently an anchor for SPORTSCENTRE on Canada's leading sports network, TSN. Kayla has been vocal on the Black Lives Matter movement and has been subjected to her share of anti-black discrimination on Beyonce's internet. We dig into her experience being targeted by her own colleagues, the challenges that come with being a black woman in Canadian media and the importance of the BLM movement.

While visiting LA, we had a fertility specialist lined up to interview about all things fertility (and in-fertility). That didn't end up happening because she bailed, so this episode brings us together for a candid conversation on fertility and what we wish they knew earlier on.

In this week's episode of Conversations With Coco + Friends, we sit down with our girl Lindsey Wolf, founder of The Nourish Company-- she's a certified fitness nutritionist (ISSA) with a black belt in dieting, wellness and balance.  Lindsey’s mission is to help women improve their relationship with food, while achieving and maintaining their health and wellness goals. Her mantra is, “Never start a diet that you can’t maintain for the rest of your life.” and she smashes those myths that we've all heard out of the water during this episode. You can eat pasta, drink wine and lose weight with the right help.
