Growing up, school was not for me. But for fun. I tried several times. Back then, it was preached. If you didn't have a college degree, you would never find a good job and you would never work for a good company. This led me down a path looking for the outliers—the ones who avoided traditional education and created their own map instead. I became passionate about learning more about why their life adventure was different than most. What drove them to the unknown? Why didn’t the person give up? What did these rebels have In common?
Ultimately, I sought the answers to the above questions so I could apply them to my life. This was the beginning of a lifelong learner’s quest to understand other people’s journeys. Today, I’m still a student as much as I am a teacher. I deeply care about sitting down with all walks of life and ages to learn. I believe our elders can teach us wisdom, midlifers can share valuable knowledge, youth can share wild ideas, and children can teach us not to take ourselves so seriously. These conversations have increasingly made me aware of the importance of you have to fall in love with something. That something for me eventually led me to writing a book called age is your edge, a practical guide that includes strategies, tools, and real life relatable stories that help mid lifers discover their purpose and develop a positive and resilient mindset.

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.
