In this week's episode, hosts Kym McNicholas and Interventional Cardiologist present Jimontanae "Jae" McBride with the Global PAD Association's PAD Family Advocate of the Year Award through the Global PAD Impact Awards.
This award recognizes Jae's exceptional advocacy journey that began with saving her mother's limbs from amputation. When faced with limited options for her mother's PAD wound care, Jae didn't just accept the status quo—she invented a solution to fill the critical gap in care that threatened her mother's limbs.
Her determination led her to contact the Leg Saver Hotline (1-833-PAD-LEGS), pursue multiple medical opinions, and navigate complex healthcare systems with remarkable persistence. Jae's self-education about PAD treatment options enabled her to become an informed, effective advocate who could communicate confidently with healthcare providers.
What truly distinguishes Jae is how she transformed her personal experience into a mission to help others. She now shares her knowledge with families facing similar challenges, teaching them how to advocate effectively and navigate the healthcare system to prevent unnecessary amputations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
