Guest Nancy Charles, former trans activist and lesbian, now a joyful Catholic witness to truth and healing.
• In this very personal interview with Patrick Coffin, Nancy shares her early years of gender confusion and same-sex attraction, and how the LGBTQ+ movement offered belonging—but not peace.
• As a proud trans and active lesbian, she championed "authentic self-expression," yet behind the public persona was deep restlessness, depression, and other traumatic wounds.
• A crisis moment led her to question the ideology she once preached; the slogans stopped matching reality.
• Her brother, Joshua Charles (author, scholar, and host of Eternal Christendom), played a key role by patiently engaging her with Scripture, logic, and brotherly love.
• Through prayer, study of the Catechism, and discovering the mercy of Christ in Confession and the Eucharist, Nancy experienced genuine conversion and interior healing thanks to a kind and wise Catholic priest.
• She now dedicates her life to helping others harmed by gender ideology find hope in the truth of being created male and female in God's image.
• Nancy's story testifies that grace transforms identity at its deepest level—because Christ doesn't just affirm us; He restores us.

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.
