In our inaugural episode, Matthew Green is joined by Manda Johnson, co-founder of the Pocket Project’s Global Social Witnessing Competence Centre. Amanda shares her journey of integrating her personal and ancestral trauma, which led her to the practice of Global Social Witnessing. Together, they explore how this practice connects personal healing with collective healing and how it can transform our response to global crises. Discover the profound impacts and the potential for this practice to reimagine how we conceive of trauma, reshape our media system, and support collective evolution.

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.
