What does it mean to be part of the “sandwich generation”? Traditionally, it’s adults caring for both their kids and their aging parents — but even without children, the push-and-pull of being caught in the middle is very real.
In this episode, we unpack the pressures of balancing caregiving with careers, relationships, friendships, and our own needs. From being the bridge between family members, to feeling stretched in multiple directions at once, we’re sharing the moments that made us feel “sandwiched” and how we try (and sometimes fail) to navigate them.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying everyone else’s needs while trying to hold onto your own, this one’s for you.

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.
