Forget everything you think you know about women in midlife. Angela Burk's raw, unfiltered, and fiercely passionate book shatters the glossy, sugar-coated stories we've been sold about 'aging gracefully.' This isn't a manual for doing midlife perfectly—it's a companion for doing it honestly. She dives into everything from career reinvention to the three waves of menopause—rage, wild symptoms, and all—with unapologetic candor. After divorcing at 45 and raising three young sons, she scrapped the life script she'd been following and rebuilt from the ground up. The result? A long-distance love, a blended family of seven, and a trove of hard-earned wisdom about sagging knees, vanishing eyebrows, and the unapologetic confidence that only midlife can bring. She is an award-winning marketing strategist, mother of three, bonus mom to four, and fierce advocate for women reclaiming their stories at midlife.

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.
