In this episode of the Healthy Living Doesn't Have to SUCK Podcast, Melyssa is joined by one of her all-time favorite life and business coaches - Cara Alwill, creator of The Champagne Diet! They discuss the importance of embracing a healthy lifestyle without succumbing to societal pressures and restrictive norms. Cara shares her journey from a dissatisfying career and unhealthy relationship to finding joy and authenticity through living The Champagne Diet lifestyle - the only kind of diet Melyssa would ever recommend to her listeners! 😉 Their conversation covers topics such as the significance of mental well-being in overall health, embracing the impact of small daily habits, and the liberating power of giving yourself permission to enjoy life without guilt. Cara suggests that listeners prioritize feeling good over looking a certain way, remember that your size is the least interesting thing about yourself, and to draw inspiration from those around you without falling into the comparison trap so you can live your healthiest, happiest life!

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
