"When you don’t allow yourself to be sovereign, you take away other people’s ability to be sovereign. We think we’re winning. We think it’s a badge of honor. We think all of these really limiting, misguided things. But in truth, everyone is being hurt. Everything and everyone is at a detriment." - Tracy Litt
Today on The School of Becoming:
- Unpacking the misunderstood concept of codependency and how traditional definitions fail to capture the full spectrum of how it manifests in modern life.
- Exploring high-functioning codependency (HFC) and how over-responsibility, over-functioning, and hyper-independence create exhaustion, resentment, and a loss of self.
- Discussing the hidden costs of being an HFC, including burnout, lack of boundaries, and the unintended consequences of trying to control others’ outcomes.
- Introducing the path to recovery, emphasizing self-consideration, surrender, and the power of allowing others to take responsibility for their own lives.
- Providing actionable tools for breaking free from HFC tendencies, including key questions to ask before saying yes and the importance of letting go of people-pleasing behaviors.

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.
