ENGLISH:
Christina tripped over the curb and broke her foot. She looks at her foot brace. It's gray, ugly, and huge. Christina thinks: Why isn't there a nice version? The next day she starts drawing. Flowers, dots, patterns – she wants to make fashion for medical products. A bit of style please! She orders fabrics and crafts with glue and scissors. Her first cast cover looks like a colorful shoe. Christina founds a company: “CastMedic Designs.” Later she even wins an inventor’s award – because of a broken foot! Today, Christina tells her story on stages and in interviews. She often says: “Sometimes success starts with a broken foot – or a good idea at the wrong moment.” What if the wrong moment is the very moment that sets something good in motion? Trust yourself and just start.

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.
