Let’s be real — no one tells you caregiving comes with this much paperwork. From Power of Attorney and advance directives to bank accounts and insurance forms, it can feel like you need a law degree just to keep up.
In this episode, we’re diving into the not-so-glamorous side of caregiving: the legal and financial chaos that comes with helping a parent. We share how we figured it all out (mostly through trial and error), what we wish we’d known sooner, and how we keep it all organized now.
We’ll walk through the big three documents every caregiver should know, the emotional side of “taking over,” and a few sanity-saving tips to help you feel more prepared and less panicked. Because the paperwork is overwhelming — but you don’t have to face it alone.

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.
