The Why Not Today? Podcast - Season 4 - Episode 2, with Kerrie Schram

Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Why Not Today? Podcast. In this episode, host Leslie sits down with Kerrie Schram, Executive Director of Accelerated Visions, to explore her journey of courage, resilience, and embracing the Why Not Today? mindset. Kerrie’s story is one of perseverance and transformation. At 18, she left home without finishing high school and had to navigate life on her own, working multiple jobs and figuring out how to survive. She eventually earned her GED, pursued education in cake decorating, and built a successful career. But her journey didn’t stop there. In 2022, Kerrie survived a life-threatening car accident that forced her to pause, reflect, and ultimately pivot in an unexpected direction.

This episode is filled with powerful lessons on resilience, embracing change, and stepping into new opportunities. Kerrie’s journey led her to her current role as Executive Director of Accelerated Visions, a nonprofit dedicated to helping other nonprofits grow through technology solutions and mentorship. She took a leap of faith into a role she never expected, proving that sometimes the biggest opportunities come when you say, Why not today?

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.
