WHEN I GROW UP

WHEN I GROW UP

A podcast about young artists that took the path less traveled and found success in doing so, though, of course not without their share of trials and tribulations along the way. An homage to all the dreamers that knew what they wanted young and went for it, and to those that are afraid to take the leap of faith-I hope this podcast inspires you to jump and start living the life you want for yourself!

Athina and Florence understand how challenging it is to find a pair of frames that fit your face comfortably. Shopping for eyewear that embraces diverse facial features has long been a seemingly impossible task. Most frames in the market either sit on our cheeks, slide down our nose, or rise up our face when we smile. They knew there had to be a way to wear frames with confidence, so they created Elevated Fit® a...

    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.
