The ALIVE podcast turns 4 today!!! 4 years ago today, on September 18, 2020, I released the very first episode of the podcast with my episode "Come ALIVE with Me" .
Even more significant is the fact that I didn't plan it this way, but the release of this show on the 18th of the month is symbolic of the energy of Chai, or "life" in Hebrew.
What started as a pandemic baby transpired into a true love, but also labour of love to keep my podcast ALIVE (no pun intended!) for 4 years now. There have been countless personal + health challenges, along with the challenge of being a host + managing the podcast for consistent episode releases weekly!
It has taught me the true spirit of resiliency, which is what being ALIVE is about - not always achieving perfection, or sticking to plan - but knowing how to navigate the rough waters of life, of dealing with mental health challenges, or any level of triggering or past traumas.
In this special anniversary episode, I break down each of the last 4 years as this podcast evolved + what I have learned as lessons of resiliency that I am sharing with you today in hopes it helps you on your healing path, and gives you hope in our chaotic world. Let this be your guiding light, your North star, your sacred space to feel SAFE and SEEN, and deeply loved.
And a special thank YOU TO ALL MY LISTENERS FOR KEEPING THIS DREAM ALIVE! It's not easy, but it's ALWAYS WORTH IT!
Come celebrate 4 years with us with the exclusive ALIVE IS MY VIBE collection - click here to check it out!
XOXO,
Jessica

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.
