Welcome to our podcast exploring the timeless wisdom of "Better late than never." Today, we're diving into inspiring stories of second chances and the power of perseverance.

Let's start with a recent example that embodies this phrase. Just last week, on March 18, 2025, 62-year-old Tiffany Haddish made headlines when she finally earned her high school diploma. The Emmy Award-winning comedian and actress, who spent years in foster care and even lived in her car while pursuing her dreams, proves that it's never too late to achieve your goals.

But Haddish isn't alone in finding success later in life. Take Kristina Kuzmic, known as the most famous mom on Facebook. Kuzmic overcame war, poverty, and depression before becoming a social media sensation with over a billion views on her videos. Her story reminds us that setbacks can shape our path to success.

Society often pressures us to achieve milestones by certain ages, but these stories challenge that notion. Dr. Sheryl Recinos went from teenage homelessness to becoming a physician and advocate for youth in need. Her journey shows that our past doesn't define our future.

For those feeling discouraged, remember that many successful companies were born during difficult times. Airbnb, now a global phenomenon, started during the 2008 financial crisis when its founders couldn't afford rent. Their ability to pivot and persevere led to a revolutionary business model.

As we navigate the challenges of 2025, including economic uncertainties and global tensions, these stories of resilience are more relevant than ever. They remind us that it's never too late to pursue our passions, change careers, or make a difference in the world.

So listeners, if you're feeling like you've missed your opportunity, take heart. Your story of success might just be waiting to unfold. Remember, better late than never.

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.
