It's hard to believe a year has passed since I launched "What Nobody Tells Us." What a journey it's been, and I can't believe how it's grown and where it's led me.
In this anniversary episode, I'm reflecting on the top ten truths I've learned about cancer diagnosis and sharing some heartfelt advice for all you incredible caregivers out there.
I talk about the critical importance of self-advocacy - it's not just crucial, it can be a matter of life and death. I share ideas on how you can find your voice and never settle for care that doesn't meet your needs. I also discuss the game-changing power of building a strong support network, and share tips on how to ask for the specific help you need.
It's not easy to do, but I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of caregiving. Having been there myself, I want you to know it's okay to experience a wide range of emotions, sharing strategies for finding moments of joy, even during the toughest times.
Expect some practical tips too - from staying organized to setting healthy boundaries. It's all about making this challenging journey a bit more manageable.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to take this podcast in new directions. We'll be diving deeper into specific aspects of caregiving and offering more resources to help you navigate your own path. I'm so excited to continue these important conversations and shed light on the things that nobody tells us - but that everyone should know.

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.
