Natalie Kuhn: Life Lessons from The Vice President of The Class By Taryn Toomey

Natalie Kuhn is taking over the world, one sweaty body and open heart at a time. She is the Vice-President and founding teacher of The Class By Taryn Toomey. The Class by TT is gaining cult like status among devotees of "push through the pain" body/heart/soul work. But it’s so much more than that really, and Natalie explains exactly what that is. But not before giving us the details of her trajectory, from her post-NYU days as a dancer on David Bynre’s world wide tour at 23, to how she came to The Class (hint: it had no name back then) and now, her rise to a corporate position, commuting back and forth to NYC-LA, holding down a marriage, a home, a dog and her sanity. How does she do it? Listen and find out. Oh, she’s also the most delightful soul and I feel honored and lucky to have had this time with Natalie. I have a feeling she’s going to be on the cover of Forbes in a few years. #Girlbosses take note!

Deborah Kaplan is a bad ass. A true Hollywood veteran writer and director. And how cool! This is the 20th anniversary of “Can’t Hardly Wait”. I’m talking teen-cinema in all of it’s glory. So, what does it take to be able to tap into the teen zeitgeist of the time – decade after decade? Tune in and find out! With her partner Harry Elfont, Deborahcreated Liza On Demand starring the mega-talent Liza Koshy, on YouTube Originals and it’s totally brilliant. Last year I was hooked on MTV’s Mary and Jane about two Eagle Rock pot delivery girls - and oh, you’ll hear about producer Snoop Dogg’s preferred craft service spread of choice (you can smoke it). She’s a single mom, a working boss lady and my beautiful and aspirational expander. Deb is also the funniest person on IG and oh, she can cook like nobody’s biz. But that’s a side note.

FRESH FROM IMDB where I do all my best stalking! It’s prob out dated and mostly wrong but you’ll get the idea.

Writer/director Deborah Kaplan met partner, writer/director Harry Elfont, at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' prestigious film school. In a strange coincidence, they discovered that their parents were friends and that they both attended neighboring high schools in Philadelphia. Kaplan had spent time abroad in high school at a film production program at Oxford University in England, UK. Kaplan relocated to Los Angeles and was working behind the scenes in the movie business. When Elfont headed to California after college, they joined forces and crafted "The Family Way", a romantic comedy that was purchased by Can't Hardly Wait (1998) producer Jenno Topping, during her stint at The Ladd Company. The writing duo continued working with Topping, writing A Very Brady Sequel(1996). Kaplan and Elfont also lent their talents as contributing writers to Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco (1996) and Jingle All the Way (1996). In her spare time, Kaplan enjoys kick-boxing, photography, and hiking with her Mongolian Ferret Hound. Can't Hardly Wait (1998) was both Kaplan and Elfont's directorial debut.

First off, let’s try to forget that I didn’t press the right button on the Tascam recorder when I recorded this episode and so, yah, it sounds a little - well - ECHO-y. But... you WILL forget because once you listen to what Jessica has to say, she could be speaking into a Dixie cup and it wouldn’t make a difference. She’s chock full of so much goodness. We cover everything from making it (big time) as a woman in the thick of the Hollywood male-gate-keeper matrix (Jessica wrote and directed the blockbuster "Bring It On" and "Stick It”) to neuro-plasticity (did I spell that right?) of the brain

and then we do a full spiritual deep dive and swoop into how to properly break up with an oracle. Yah, you heard me. We get into attachment theory, all kinds of psychological goodies (Think inner-child work and therapeutic modalities) back to the Hollywood vortex and of course how we met when she cast me at 19 to be in a Freestyle Coro music video back in the day. Turn up the volume - no turn it UP, cuz my sound skills were not on point and geek out on Jessica’s brain with me!

I was going to write down all the amazing people she talked about but I was too tired so just listen carefully and take notes (not while driving, k?)

Craig Borten is a successful screenwriter and Oscar nominee for Dallas Buyers Club. Today he shares intimately about what his 25-year journey in Hollywood to become an “overnight success” really looks like. Craig and I talk about what it takes to keep on keeping on and how to take care of oneself while doing so, because if you want to ‘make it’ in this town, you’re going to need an arsenal of self-care tools to stay the course.

You know that girlfriend who makes you feel amazing and loved no matter what and who you also have a permanent girl crush on for too many reasons to list? This is Monet. Not only has she had an incredible acting career, she’s also a mom of two boys, interior designer, model and yogi. She is the one who introduced me to Kundalini and Kabbalah way back when any of that was in the zeitgeist. She’s the brains and style behind the lifestyle brand LesDreamers.com and will soon be starring in a new CW TV series playing Taye Diggs wife. Monet shares with us insider secrets of how she keeps it together as a working mom of two boys, navigates showbiz and motherhood, Hollywood and reality and all things career transitions and evolutions. She also shares, for the first time publicly, the intimate details about a very private illness and the wellness practice she believes helped bring her back to health.

Groomed LA is over the moon (no pun) to welcome local psychological astrological, Danielle Beinstein. Dani’s work is centered around “helping my clients navigate the human experience using a mix of spiritual psychology, astrology, inner child healing and mindfulness”. This is for sure one of the smartest women I have ever met and most fun convos, especially as it involved lots of Jewish geography and learning we went to the same school, albeit in different centuries. Dani’s background in Spiritual Psychology aligns perfectly with her astrological work – seeking archetypes and ways of being, unifying human nature through patterns and healing through deep dive self discovery.

The zeitgeist has simmered down. The loud roar is now a quieter rumble. But it’s not over. It’s only just beginning. And there are so many voices to be reckoned with. ME TOO. A movement that is forever changing the alchemy of gender politics in this country. At the heart of it is Katherine Kendall. Kat is among the first wave of women to come forward about Harvey Weinstein. We sit down for a revealing never before heard chat about the scandal that rocked a biz, a town and now...a nation. You’ll hear a first hand account of Kat’s story and how all it takes is one encounter to disrupt the trajectory of your internal system. And also, how she reclaimed it, through the #metoo movement, and has opened to a sense of self that’s greater and more profound than she could have ever imagined.

Welcome to the Groomed LA Podcast! Brought to you by Emily Wagner, Editor In Chief on the popular wellness and lifestyle blog Groomed LA. Emily is a classic connector, communicator and obsessive info junkie. Here with her impressive guests culled from years in LA, both in the entertainment and wellness worlds, you’ll get real talk on all things (air quotes) “LA” and so much more.

This means everything from insider Hollywood talk to wellness, trends/trend-busting, healing arts, bullshit calling out, bio-hacking/health hacks, anti-aging insanity, fitness fanaticism, conscious-living, career (burn out, failures, success), food-supplement-nutrition fads, restrictions/obsessions, plastic surgery, woo-woo shit, parenthood, divorce, sex, intimacy, online dating, ghosting, social media, pop culture, all things vagina and whatever else Emily loses sleep over.

A born and bred New Yorker, Emily migrated to Hollywood after receiving a Fine Art degree at Vassar. Emily has sustained a long career as a multi-hyphenate creative ever since. Like all good Upper West Side Jewish girls, she's been an actress, writer, filmmaker, director, artist, creative director, designer, yogi, fitness and arts teacher. Her most notable accomplishment is not getting fired for 15 years from the long-running NBC blockbuster ER where she played Doris Pickman, the snarky paramedic. She also did a few more cool things that look good on paper but you can just Google it.

That would have been a great name for this podcast. Looks Good On Paper. She'll loop about that for a solid 72 hours and bug everyone she knows if she should change the name. That's Emily’s brain in a nutshell. Welcome!

Emily most recently launched a Conscious Connecting Collective. Here she develops, cultivates and activates brands, artists and individuals. She connects influencers and fosters relationships between them all to grow their business, consciously. She offers one on one coaching and online classes on conscious creative growth and manifestation.

In this intro mini-episode, Emily dishes on what the Groomed LA podcast will be dishing about. She recorded it ten times, still didn't get it right, regrets most of the things she said and thinks she sounds bourgeois talking “nanny’s”. She doesn’t even have one or know exactly where that apostrophe goes (nanny’/nannys). But the heck with it, it's 2018 and anti-perfectionism is on trend. Alas, we bring you Groomed LA!
