Eight months after our first conversation, Aaron Lazarreturns to share how he's found peace living with ALS through spiritual surrender rather than fighting. We discuss his journey from Broadway actor chasing external success to discovering that miracles happen when you stop pushing and start flowing with life. Aaron reveals there are now 63 documented ALS reversals, his new AI research project with Duke University, and how getting out of your head and into your heart changes everything. This conversation sparked my own transformation from 100-hour work weeks and high-functioning anxiety to finding faith and flow.

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.
