Trauma isn’t always what we think.
It doesn’t just come from war zones, accidents, or abuse.
Sometimes, trauma comes quietly—from emotional neglect, disconnection, or growing up without the support you needed.
In this healing deep-dive, we'll gently unpack:
✔️ What trauma really is (it's not the event-it's the body's response)
✔️ The difference between Big "T" and little "t" trauma
✔️ How emotional neglect and ongoing stress impact your nervous system
✔️ Common trauma responses like fawn, freeze, hyper-independence, and minimization
✔️ 5 Grounding Truths to help healing
We're pulling insight from trusted trauma experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, Pete Walker, Glennon Doyle, Melody Beattie, and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk-along with real-world experiences that will help you feel seen, not pathologized.
Because if you've been asking "What's wrong with me?" for years…
It might be time to ask: "What happened to me?"

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.
