In this unforgettable episode of The Choices Matter Podcast, we sit down with Steve Emt, a featured speaker for the Choices Matter program and author of You D.E.C.I.D.E: A Six Step Action Plan to Becoming the Hero of Your Own Life.
A standout high school athlete, former West Point cadet, and UConn basketball walk-on, Steve’s future was bright — until one night in March 1995 when he chose to drive home drunk and crashed into a concrete abutment. He awoke from a coma to discover he was paralyzed from the waist down.
Now a Team USA Paralympic curler and motivational force, Steve uses his story to inspire students across the country to make better decisions behind the wheel and in life. With honesty, energy, and purpose, Steve reminds us that while we can’t always undo our past, we can take control of our future — one choice at a time.

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.
