Summary

This week, Kate and Doree share some of their favorite spots in Los Angeles — from beloved bookstores, hikes, spas, and restaurants, to the best places for random celebrity sightings.

Then they welcome New York Times best-selling novelist and essayist, Esmé Wang. She discusses being diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder, the stigmas and common misconceptions surrounding mental illness, how she approaches self-care, and her newest book, The Collected Schizophrenias.
