Her life looked like something others would call amazing: a top-tier education from an Ivy League business school, a successful career, a beautiful home, a loving family, and a supportive community. But it all began to unravel when she was forced to face a quiet, unsettling truth: beneath all the goodness of her life lived profound grief and loneliness.
For Alexis Leigh, it was time to unravel the pain of her childhood—growing up with a mother lost to addiction, who died suddenly and left scars buried deep within. That reckoning catapulted her into a dark yet transformative journey through psychedelics, healing, divorce, and ultimately into a love so powerful within herself that it radiated outward, impossible to contain.
Author of Pain is a Portal To Beauty, I dive deep into this conversation with Alexis about unveiling truth, facing pain, discovering strength we fear we don’t have, and emerging from the ashes as a more open, more beautiful version of ourselves—one you cannot help but fall in love with.
This might just be the episode you NEED to hear.

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.
