From crystal healing and manifestation to “good vibes only” culture, woo is everywhere. But what actually happens to our mental health when we dive into spiritual trends, online gurus, and alternative healing – or when we walk away from them?
In this episode, we explore how woo can both soothe and harm:
When does it offer comfort, meaning, and a sense of control?
When does it fuel anxiety, shame, and self-blame (“I didn’t manifest hard enough”)?
How do social media, spiritual bypassing, and chronic positivity impact our mood and self-esteem?
Together we unpack the psychology behind belief, talk about red flags to watch for, and share grounded tools for staying mentally healthy—whether you love woo, hate it, or feel stuck somewhere in between.

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.
