Ever find yourself saying, “I feel bad because…” over things that, deep down, you know you shouldn’t feel bad about? It usually involves other people and what you think (on some level) you're doing 'wrong'.
If this is you, you're in for a treat. I'm unpacking why this happensand what you can do about it.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
- Why so many of us (especially high-achievers) feel guilt over so many things
- How to unlearn guilt around personal choices (yep, totally possible)
- Setting boundaries without the post-no guilt spiral
- The difference between helpful guilt and the kind that just drags you down
- Why prioritising yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary
The Takeaways:
- "Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint someone else." Elizabeth Gilbert
- Some guilt is useful, but unnecessary guilt? Time to let it go
- Try this - spend the next 24 hours noticing when you say “I feel bad because…” and ask yourself, Is this even true?
- Want to explore this more? Let’s chat - I offer free calls to see if coaching is the right fit for you.
Listen now and start shaking off the guilt that was never yours to carry.

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.
