The Reluctance Men Face in Seeking Medical Help
In this episode of Real Men Feel, host Andy Grant opens up about his recent experience with abdominal surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, which he believes was exacerbated by a bungee jump earlier in the year. He discusses the reluctance many men have in seeking medical help, attributing it to factors like fear of appearing weak, social conditioning, and time prioritization.
Citing a CDC report, Andy highlights the alarming statistics regarding men's health visits and encourages men to prioritize their health by getting regular check-ups and addressing symptoms early.

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.
