Ever feel stuck in patterns you can't shake—self-doubt, procrastination, perfectionism? In this episode, host Natalie Tysdal sits down with Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute, to uncover how invisible beliefs shape your health, habits, and confidence. More importantly—Shelly shows how you can change them, permanently.
You'll learn:
- Where limiting beliefs come from—and why most people don't realize they're running the show
- How beliefs like "I'm not good enough" or "I'm not important" quietly sabotage health and self-care
- Why affirmations often fail (and what actually creates lasting change)
- The link between beliefs, emotions, and everyday struggles like procrastination or people-pleasing
- Simple steps to uncover your own hidden beliefs and dissolve them
- Real-life transformations, including Dr. Mark Hyman, who used these tools to break free of old patterns
Why listen: If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to prioritize your well-being, it's not about willpower—it's about your beliefs. This conversation will help you spot what's holding you back and take the next step toward a healthier, more confident life.

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.
