The Cast Ascendancy podcast takes a deep dive into the intriguing world of the psychology of anger, blame, and defense mechanisms in relationships. Our host, Profit, brings a unique perspective to the table, viewing these emotional reactions as tools individuals use to protect their self-image and preserve their ego. Profit's insights are shaped by his belief that people often resort to blame and defense mechanisms to avoid taking responsibility for their actions, using anger as a shield against judgment and a means to regain control in situations where they feel powerless. Join him on this episode of The CastAscendancy Podcast as he explores these complex dynamics and dig into the importance of accepting the truth and not hiding behind excuses or false personas.

QUOTES

(00:00:56) "Their reaction is anger, right? Anger? The fiery fucking emotion that erupts your dirty little secrets into coming up, you fucking pieces of shit. Oh, my God" -Profit

(00:04:34) "See, in essence, man, getting caught doesn't just expose their misdeeds or whatever. It exposes, like, a fucking battlefield within their weak little minds, a clash between who they fucking present themselves to be because they pretend to be something that they're not. You know what I mean? And then they've been fucking feeding people this lie, so much hand fucking feeding people this fucking lie that they start believing it themselves, man. Those are the most dangerous people on the fucking planet. People that believe their fucking lies, man." -Profit

(00:09:50) "And because what? Double fucking standards. Women talking to you. Y'all love double standards. Oh, don't do this. Oh, but I could do it because I'm a girl. I get like away with stuff." - Profit

(00:13:59) "Stop pretending to be what you were not. Pretending to be somebody you're not is fucking easy, man." - Profit

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.
