Matt Potratz was a pro snowmobiler when he got caught in an avalanche that should’ve killed him. It didn’t—but it left him with a broken neck, brain trauma, and a life forever changed.
In this conversation, Matt shares what happened that day, the long road to recovery, and the lessons he learned about pain, purpose, and resilience. We talk about what it really takes to survive life’s darkest moments, the power of community, focusing on what you can change, and how to keep going when life feels impossible.

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.
