Wilderness Within Podcast
Wilderness Within (WW) is an exploration of our inner worlds through shared stories and experiences. It is inspired by the stories of good friends and the immense interest to dive beyond the superficial and into the depths of one's devotions and motivations in life. Each episode is intended to be an open share and celebration of the triumphs, failures, learnings, and/or vulnerabilities of the guest(s) and your host, Kai J. Lee. This is also a space where he will share personal stories and lessons from years living as a purpose-driven, camera-lugging vagabond and content creator. WW is possible due to the ongoing financial support of patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/subtledream). We are big fans of the value-driven, pay-it-forward model, and the reason why you won't hear razor subscriptions or NordVPN discounts offered is thanks to the contributions that my supporters pitch in each month. Besides becoming a patron, some of the best ways to support this podcast is to share this episode or show to a friend, and to rate it on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite listening platform.

Scott is also a guest on 1 of the upcoming episodes, and Carlos pourted his artistic talent for the WW logo.

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.
