Big life events are supposed to be all joy and celebration—but for caregivers, they can also stir up a lot of complicated emotions. In this episode, we talk about Ari’s wedding: the excitement, the chaos, and the very real grief of missing a key family member during such a milestone moment.
We share the push and pull between wanting to be fully present in a once-in-a-lifetime event, while also carrying the weight of absence. From navigating family dynamics, to finding ways to honor loved ones who can’t be there, to letting ourselves feel all the feelings, we open up about the beauty and heartbreak that can exist in the same breath.
This one’s for anyone who’s celebrated something huge while also holding onto loss. It’s messy. It’s tender. And you’re not 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.
