Today, I interview Janine Bolon who grew up in a military and nursing household, where communication was brief and direct. She felt she didn't know how to tell a compelling, connective story.
She also moved a lot throughout her young life, causing her to feel constant loss and disconnection. After years abroad, she suddenly found herself in a small, Mayberry town in Missouri.
As the first one in her family to attend college, her family had no frame of reference to offer support. She later experienced a divorce, followed by a lightning strike.
Through meditation and focusing on the universe and God, she realized that the rules and limitations were falling around her. She found her own new life, new voice, and new meaning in 2015 and now uses it to encourage others in their own healing and self-realization.

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.
