Have you ever felt that your capacity for empathy and care was overlooked simply because you don’t have children?
In this episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller opens up about her own journey, challenging the stereotypes placed on women without children and exploring the deep strength and compassion that often go unseen. Through heartfelt stories and honest reflection, Gail invites us to consider how grief and empathy belong to all of us—not just parents.
She reminds us that every heart holds the ability to love, to hurt, and to connect—and that honoring this truth can create a more compassionate world for everyone.

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.
