Jessica Bendinger

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 b...

Craig Borten is a successful screenwriter and Oscar nominee for Dallas Buyers Club.

Danielle Beinstein

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 Spiritu...

Kat Kendall

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 ...
