Women now live six years longer than men, yet for most, the last decade of life can be plagued with cascading poor health and a lack of purpose. In other words, women's healthspans and lifespans are out of sync. What if there was a way for women to extend not only their longevity but also their quality of life?
In this interview, Maddy Dychtwald will discuss her cutting-edge research that helps women take advantage of scientific, psychological, and physical knowledge and tools to feel vital, youthful, and purposeful into their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. We are currently in the beginning stages of a longevity revolution with women at the forefront. Women hold the power to change the aging narrative once and for all by emphasizing the gifts of long life and taking steps to minimize physical and mental decline.
Maddy will share simple and actionable steps to help women increase their healthspans, brainspans, and lifespans, including tips, techniques, and hacks (many of which are low-cost or free). Although focused on women, Maddy's presentation is helpful for everyone.

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.
