In this episode, our host delves into the challenges of dealing with boredom, especially for those who face restrictions due to disabilities. Highlighting the negative spiral that boredom can trigger, the discussion covers personal experiences with online gambling, romance, and commerce, warning listeners of the pitfalls they present.
Instead of falling into these traps, the podcast encourages exploring positive activities such as exercise, podcasting, and writing. The host emphasizes the importance of recognizing harmful patterns and maintaining a mental battle against oneself to stay on a positive path.
On a more philosophical note, the episode introduces the concept of "cosmic immortality." This idea suggests that while our physical forms may perish, the universe's recycling of energy means we are destined to exist again in some form. This perspective offers a unique and scientific outlook on existence, providing a sense of hope and continuity beyond our current lives.
Join in for a reflective journey on maintaining positivity amidst life's challenges and exploring the broader implications of our existence.

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.
