This week, I’m talking to Lara Parker. Lara is a writer, editor, deputy director at BuzzFeed.com, and the author of Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics.
In this episode, Lara and I discuss living with multiple chronic conditions, finding pain-management tools, learning to advocate for yourself, decision fatigue, and finding glimpses of hope and acceptance (even in the darkest days).

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.
