Entrepreneurship can be both exhilarating and isolating. Many founders pour everything into their businesses until burnout or personal crisis forces them to pause. How can you rebuild when your drive becomes your downfall and the weight of leadership feels too heavy to carry alone?
Psychiatric physician's assistant Scarlett Mulligan reminds entrepreneurs that mental health isn't a luxury — it's the foundation for sound decisions, creativity, and leadership. She advises forming genuine connections, facing emotional pain instead of numbing it, and practicing grace daily toward yourself and others. Scarlett maintains that truth comes from self-awareness, humility, and a willingness to heal.

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.
