We're healthier than ever — but are we happier? In this thought-provoking episode, Shane Hewitt and Ryan O’Donnell unpack the rise of “Generation Active,” where gym selfies are the new social status and pub nights are on the decline.
But that’s just one layer. Kicking off with powerful listener stories about the fear of moving and the hope that comes with change, the show blends real emotion with cultural critique. Hear how one single dad’s message turned into a reflection on parenting, fear, and financial risk — and why connection might be the real health metric we’re missing.

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.
