Physical activity among youth is plummeting—and it’s shaping their future health. Dr. Claire Leblanc, a pediatric rheumatologist at McGill, shares how mobility in children has dropped post-COVID and why that’s about more than just screen time.
Discover how mental health challenges like anxiety and depression reduce physical engagement, why friendships—not parents—are the key to getting teens moving, and how unconventional activities like trades or rock climbing might hold the answer. This is a clear-eyed look at what’s really behind the movement slump—and what actually helps.

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.
