Patrick Testoni is a lifelong athlete and energy professional with a passion for spiritual growth and transformation. Raised in Catholicism, he sought meaning through traveling, music festivals, and psychedelic experiences, eventually finding recovery through a 12-step journey.
Over the past 28 years in recovery, Patrick has overcome active addiction and homelessness. Throughout this journey, he's pursued self-realization by reigniting lost dreams and passions. Recently, he embraced endurance sports, completing a 70.3 Ironman and four Olympic triathlons, and he's just accomplished his first full Ironman on November 17, 2024!
His spiritual path has been about discovering a personal, intuitive connection to the world. Today, Patrick focuses on performance mindset coaching through hypnotherapy, helping others overcome addiction and unlock their potential. As a plant-based advocate, he strives to live—and inspire others to live—a high-value life of growth and self-discovery.

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.
