Is there one universal meaning of life, or a purpose we each get to choose and create for ourselves? In this profound conversation with author James Bailey, we explore the answers he gathered from asking 100 people—from Jane Goodall to Holocaust survivors—the biggest question of all. We dive into the difference between meaning and purpose, how our definition evolves through life's challenges, and the powerful choice we all have to find hope, spread love, and assign a beautiful meaning to our own 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.
