Finding 'home' can often be a journey paved with trials and self-discovery. Shauna's tale takes us from the winding streets of Drimnagh to the cozy nooks of Kingswood in Tally, where the echoes of her past, marked by bullying and the ongoing quest for self-identity, collide with her present. She bravely opens up about the scars left by her childhood bullies and how these experiences shaped her mental landscape, inviting us to reflect on our own stories of resilience.
As a parent, few things weigh as heavily as the happiness and well-being of our children. I share the tightrope act of nurturing kindness and addressing the specter of bullying that looms over my children's schoolyard encounters. From my son's growing understanding of bullies to my daughter's brave navigation of dyslexia and a new school environment, their experiences are a microcosm of the broader fabric of childhood social dynamics. Together with our guests, we peel back the layers of both celebration and sorrow in life's journey, from wedding bells to the solemn corridors of the funeral industry, examining how each moment shapes our human experience.
The poignant and at times mysterious world of molar pregnancies takes center stage as we hear from Shauna. Her harrowing odyssey through uncertainty and the fear of loss brings an often-overlooked medical condition to light. We traverse the emotional landscape of her recovery, from weekly blood tests to the threat of chemotherapy, culminating in a story of miraculous resilience. Shauna's experience underscores the power of community and the importance of support networks for women navigating similar challenges, reminding us that even in our darkest times, we are not alone.

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.
