This week we continued our exploration of true self vs. false self for each Enneagram type, focusing on types 4, 5, and 6. We discussed how these types can recognize when they're operating from their false self, and explored practical ways they can return to their true self, including processing emotions, practicing detachment, and cultivating courage. This episode is helpful for understanding the core struggles and growth paths for these types, providing insights that can lead to greater self-awareness and personal development.

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.
