Hi, it's Deb, In this episode of Spirited Straight Talk, Dana and I dive into a topic that touches every one of us - unconditional love. I'm talking about the real, raw kind of love that challenges us to heal… even when it hurts.
We talk about how ego sneaks into our relationships and how so many of us end up giving love with strings attached - without even realizing it. I share what I've learned over years of teaching and doing deep spiritual work: true unconditional love starts with being authentic to your soul… and letting others love you the only way they know how.
If you've ever felt like you give so much and get so little back, or if you're healing from pain caused by someone you loved, this conversation is for you.
Let's shift the story together. Let's heal. Let's grow.

In this episode, I talk about:

✅ How to see others as souls—especially when they've hurt you
With love and truth,
Deb

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.
