In this episode of Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity, we lay it all out: the crumbling systems, the constitutional bs, and the spiritual hangover of living through a real-time revolution.
How did we get here? This is a call to arms (and heart) for all of us, the empaths, the tired humans trying to stay sane while everything breaks apart.
Don't forget, dear humans. They're not the only ones who can break the rules.

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.
