Plans. We make them for the life we want, the partner we hope to have, the career we’re keen to chase. But what happens when your plan doesn’t, well, go to plan?
In Season 5 of Curveball, host Kellie Riordan explores what happens when everything changes, and the path forward is anything but clear. You’ll meet:
👗 A fashion powerhouse on the brink of global success, until a high-stakes growth deal threatens to tear apart everything she’s worked for.
🧠 A 55-year-old father of three, hit with a life-altering dementia diagnosis that turns his world, and theirs, upside down.
🚴♂️ A high-speed cycling crash that dramatically upends a life… and sparks the beginning of something entirely unexpected.
These are stories of resilience, and reinvention. Because real growth often starts right where the plan ends.

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.
