If you’ve ever wondered why making progress feels so difficult, here’s the truth: change is hard because your brain is wired to resist it. In this solo episode, I walk you through the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, a proven framework that explains the 5 stages we all move through when trying to change habits, pursue goals, or rewrite old stories.
You’ll learn:
Why resistance isn’t failure, it’s part of the process
The 5 stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance)
Why relapse is normal (and how to “miss it and move on”)
How to identify where you typically get stuck, so you can get the right support

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.
