A Potent Dose Of 3
Welcome to A Potent Dose of 3 — where medicine meets meaning. We’re Kathy, Linda, and Jazmin, three women of color in healthcare sharing our journeys as Nurse Practitioners and a Medical Student. But this podcast is about more than stethoscopes and scrubs — it’s about healing ourselves, our families, and our communities. From therapy and mental health to navigating identity and purpose, we’re breaking generational trauma one episode at a time.

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.
