We live in a culture that believes anyone beyond midlife is on a slippery slope towards their demise. The truth is, you can harness the authorship of your next chapter to become your best self for the longest time possible and for what matters most.

If you both look forward to and live in fear of retirement or know someone approaching this stage, join master coach and gerontologist Barbara Waxman to learn how to harness your wisdom and energy to do this differently, including:

  • Shift from the old-school mindset of retirement-learn, earn, and retire-to embrace what it means to be age-agnostic. 
  • Embrace a new language pattern that will enable you to see the possibilities of a life stage that is multi-dimensional and aspirational.  
  • Gain the clarity you need for your next chapter to live authentically and aligned with your core values. 
  • Understand the Seven Lifestyle Levers™ that integrate body, mind, and spirit to create alignment between your healthspan (the quality of your years) and your lifespan (the quantity of years).

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.
