In this episode, Lisa Thompson shares her transformative journey from a corporate executive to a passionate mountaineer and coach. After summiting Mount Rainier in 2009, she became an avid climber, eventually completing the Seven Summits. Lisa discusses the challenges of climbing K2, the importance of inclusivity in the sport, and how her battle with cancer reshaped her perspective on life and climbing. She emphasizes the need for accessible pathways for women in mountaineering and the significance of setting audacious goals. Through her coaching and the recent acquisition of Mountain Madness, Lisa aims to inspire others to embrace the mountains and their own personal challenges.

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.
