So you finally choose truth over comfort…
You walk away from what no longer fits—
The job, the relationship, the way you’ve been performing in the world—
And then what?
In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I take you inside the messy, often invisible chapter that comes after choosing yourself. The part no one warns you about. The abyss. The unraveling. The awkward, unglamorous rebuild.
This is the part where you’re no longer who you were, but not quite who you’re becoming. And it takes everything: trust, discernment, patience, nervous system resilience, and a deep honoring of your own pace.
We talk about:
- The emotional whiplash of the “trust fall”
- Why choosing truth often makes life harder before it gets easier
- The sacred pause of the abyss (and why it matters)
- How to navigate the urge to “go back” just for comfort
- Reclaiming your voice and creative expression after burnout
- The real work of rebuilding in alignment—not urgency
- Creating a shame-free space for women to be witnessed in the in-between
This episode is for the woman standing at the edge, the one who already jumped, or the one wondering if she’s the only one who feels like everything got harder after doing the “right” thing.
You're not broken. You're becoming.

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.
