In today's episode, Jess speaks with Tim Federle, the producer of Disney+'s hit show "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series." He shares incredible insights throughout the conversation about his own experience being bullied as a boy, how being a theatre kid "saved his life," and how he now gets paid for doing all the things for which people used to make fun of him.
Tim's search for living The Good Life has him redefining his version of success, and he talks about how, as adults, we need to give ourselves permission to change our aspirations and dreams. Jess and Tim bond over their shared theatre roots, their love of connecting with kids, and how they both feel leadership is ultimately about bringing out the good in people.

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.
