Quote of the Day:
"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." – Warren Buffett
When we lack understanding or dive into decisions blindly, we expose ourselves to unnecessary risk—not because the path is inherently dangerous, but because we haven't equipped ourselves with the knowledge to navigate it. Whether it’s investing, career choices, or life decisions, true risk often stems not from the action itself, but from being unprepared or uninformed. The more we learn, research, and ask questions, the more we reduce uncertainty—and with it, the fear and danger of the unknown.

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.
