Episode 284 is about finding your way.

Being comfortable with the uncomfortable. Dr. Calvin Sun has been working as an Emergency Physician and Clinical Assistant Professor in Emergency Medicine for most of his career, but he always knew that there was something else for him out there; one day he got it! His love for travel came after losing a bet to explore Egypt, where his curiosity took hold and never let go since then. Fast forward now, Monsoon Diaries was born – it is an organization founded by people who are dedicated to exploring life in its fullest form while discovering the globe’s unexplored corners.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
