Jesse Israel joins Into the Multiverse for a deep dive into conscious uncoupling, psychedelics, and rethinking destination happiness.
After success in the music industry, Jesse shifted his career to leading mass meditations, going on tour with Oprah, and founding 'The Big Quiet'. After things shut down in 2020, Jesse had a breakdown, that led to a breakthrough of recognizing true fulfillment - regardless of how things were going externally. He shares his journey with that today, and offers insights for anyone struggling to find peace and happiness in the here and now.
Alli and him also talk about their past partnership, and how psychedelics helped them to cope with the breakup, and eventually become closer friends than ever.

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.
