Are we in charge of our destiny? Living in an action driven society that tells us that constantly pursuing our goals will pay off and give us control. But what about the circumstances we cannot control?

When we are down we may think that revenge, fighting back, and avoiding our emotions is how to get past it. Surrendering? No way! That feels like defeat. But what if we change the way we view surrender?

Surrendering does not mean giving up! Kute Blackson, transformational teacher and author of the book “The Magic of Surrender," offers a modern day manual on how to live in surrender every day. Kute offers practical ideas and soul stirring wisdom that ignites the heart and inspires courageous action.

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.
