After the “Fiesty” episode, a listener asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks: "What do you do with the weight that comes with owning who you are?"
That conversation inspired this week’s episode—Rising Above Labels: Defying Gravity with ADHD.
In this deeply personal episode, we’re talking about the emotional gravity that comes with ADHD—how labels, expectations, and self-doubt can quietly pull us down—and what it really means to rise anyway.
Join me as I share stories, reflections, and science on how to:
- Release the weight of old labels and rewrite your own story
- Understand the emotional “gravity” of ADHD and find your lift
- Model self-compassion and strength for ADHD kids
- Transform shame into curiosity, creativity, and confidence
This week’s hat—Defy Gravity—reminds us that flight isn’t about ignoring the weight. It’s about learning how to rise with it.
So grab your backpack, take a breath, and let’s climb—one step, one story, one moment of lift at a time.

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.
