No one told us this is what 50 would feel like. In this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode, Ann-Marie and Cindy get real about all the things midlife threw at them without warning, from back fat and random aches to chin hairs, saggy skin, and memory lapses that send you to the laundry room instead of the fridge.
But it’s not all about the laughs. The ladies also open up about deeper surprises like watching loved ones pass, kids moving away, unexpected heartbreak, and the emotional rollercoaster of hormones and rediscovering yourself at this stage of life.
Of course, they balance it all with the lighter side of getting older: an obsession with skincare, the joy of buying storage bins, early bedtimes, bad knees, and the bliss of not caring what anyone thinks anymore.
Grab your readers, pour yourself a glass (of whatever you need today), and get ready to nod, laugh, and maybe tear up a little as we talk about the beautiful, messy, and totally unpredictable ride called midlife.

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.
