Jason opens up about life before his multiple brain injuries, sharing the vibrant career and personal life he loved, and recounts the dramatic and often devastating changes that followed each injury.
He courageously discusses the emotional and psychological challenges of living with TBI, including depressive episodes and suicidal ideation, and walks listeners through his road to recovery—highlighting therapies, coping mechanisms, and the mindset shifts that helped him regain purpose. Jason emphasizes the critical need for understanding and supporting both TBI survivors and their caregivers, revealing gaps in medical treatment and the importance of bridging survivor experiences with professional care.

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.
