This episode is about survival—and the unexpected redirection that sometimes comes from the universe.
After a near-death accident that left me wheelchair-bound and bedridden for months, my entire life was turned upside down in a split second, on a random Tuesday morning. There I was, a miracle—surviving physical trauma that few ever come back from.
Sometimes, the most difficult challenges end up transforming our lives in the most incredible ways. That car accident was a wake-up call from the universe. It showed me a truth about my life that I couldn’t unsee.
At the same time my relationship was falling apart, I was forced out of my career and confined to a wheelchair. And yet, not only did I defy the odds of survival—I was led to a new path, one I never could’ve imagined.
This solo episode is about those dark moments in life that ultimately guide us to our greatest gifts. It might just make you look at your own life in a whole new way.

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.
