In this engaging episode of Life Unscripted, I sit down with my former therapist (and one of my favorite people), Stefanie Barthmare, to dive deep into the intricacies of emotional triggers and the importance of focusing on what we can control. We talk about:
-Understanding and managing emotional triggers
-Effective strategies for pausing and responding mindfully (aka how to not go from 0-100, and the importance of slowing it down and taking a beat first)
-The power of surrendering and trusting the process
-How past relationships impact our present ones
-Building healthy boundaries and communication practices
-Focusing on what we can control in our daily lives
Stefanie shares her wisdom on taking a beat between trigger and response, letting go of the uncontrollable, and healing from past experiences to create healthier current relationships. Enjoy!

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.
