What happens when we start seeing fitness as more than just physical transformation? Coach Tarek, internationally renowned health expert and author of "Purpose Driven Movement," reveals the profound mind-body connection that shapes our wellbeing on all levels. "If you can change your physiology, you can change your psychology," Coach Tarek explains, demonstrating how something as simple as five jumping jacks can immediately alter your mental state. But the relationship goes both ways—our thoughts and intentions shape our physical actions in ways we're just beginning to understand. The conversation challenges conventional masculine fitness stereotypes that keep men trapped in limited movement practices. While many men approach fitness with superficial goals like weight loss or muscle gain, Coach Tarek guides us to uncover deeper motivations: increased energy, mental clarity, emotional stability, better sleep, and reduced stress.

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.
