This week Ang is joined by Tina Laws, a relationship and intimacy consultant and mediator, who works with individuals to help them balance their careers and relationships without losing their marriage. Tina was a successful career focused woman living the life that most people envied, at least from the outside. But when she discovered that her marriage was suffering as a result of career ambitions she knew she had to take action. In this interview with Ang, Tina recounts her amazing life story and how that one realisation led her on the path to helping numerous men and women that have found themselves in the same position that she was in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Tina is, and has been for many years in a happy marriage. However, when she started thinking about her career night and day, she realised her marriage was in danger. She explains to Ang how this set her on the path of her current career.
- Tina explains some of the common problems she sees with clients that visit her, and how most of them stem from the same cause…complacency.
- Tina outlines her approach to working with couples and how she always finds that, after the first meeting, the couples come to realisations that they have overlooked for years.
- Between 60 and 70% of second marriages fail. Tina and Ang discuss why they think this is the case and the work you can do ‘in between’ marriages to make sure your second go is successful.

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.
