On April 10th, 2020 Julio Vincent Gambuto posted an essay on Medium that soared through the internet lighting hearts and minds ablaze. “You’re not crazy my friends” he said. With a truth-telling only reserved for the deepest and most profound ideas, "Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting" was a warning and a call to arms to save the American psyche during the height of the pandemic. With over 25 million views around the world, this essay spoke to many of the fears and feelings we all had and it also invigorated our collective need to activate our awareness of how we've been living our lives and in what ways our lives have been hijacked. In this special extended interview, Julio and I talk about the backstory for the essay and its core ideas. We also discuss the follow up essay "The Gaslighting of American Has Begun", and what we need to pay closer attention to in order to truly live. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
