I certainly never expected to be coming to you with an episode about living through a devastating natural disaster and yet, here we are.
Joining me is my beloved partner Kelly Gardner, a relationship coach and men's work facilitator, as we come to you recording from Kelly's childhood bedroom after evacuating from Asheville, North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
As we've witnessed events unfold that have shaken our foundation, we're having a raw, real and honest conversation about how these kinds of experiences can strengthen our relationships - particularly as a couple.
This one is quite emotional as we are quite literally procesing our grief in real-time with you as the adrenaline has worn off, while also feeling so incredibly fortunate for everything that we have, including each other.
In this episode, we cover:
-The impact of crises on personal relationships
-Navigating emotions and the importance of checking in with each other
-How to maintain communication when disaster strikes
-Trusting your partner during turbulent times
-Strategies for asking for and offering support
-Discovering the silver linings amidst chaos
-The value of shared experiences in building resilience
-How to transform challenges into opportunities for growth
Join us as we explore how conflict and adversity can ultimately lead to greater intimacy and understanding within our relationships.

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.
