No matter what age, no matter what stage of life you’re in, you need to remember this about people and relationships:
You’ll never be right for the wrong person.
I recently met a man whose girlfriend had just left him. He was agonizing over what he could’ve done differently and why he didn’t see the signs of any problems.
First of all, there’s probably nothing he could’ve done differently if she was already determined to leave the relationship. Her reasons were her reasons which may or may not have been as a result of his actions.
And why didn’t he see the signs? Well, it’s possible the signs were there, but he chose to ignore them. Or they were hidden very well. It could also be that the person he thought he was in love with, wasn’t really the person he thought she was. And oftentimes we’re more in love with the fantasy of what this person and relationship could bring to our lives-- than the actual reality. The dream becomes the lie that we choose to ignore. If you find yourself making excuses for and accepting a person’s behavior that’s actually unacceptable to you—then it’s time to reconsider the so-called relationship.
You’ll never be right for the wrong person. When things are out of alignment for you—the relationship will never be right. Unless you are both willing to make accommodations and have those crucial conversations to put things into alignment, things will always be out of balance. And when things are out of balance, the road is never smooth. And sometimes you’re just in the wrong relationship and it’s time to let go.
So what can you do to ease through the loss of a relationship and move forward? And to make sure that your next relationship is your best and last? Listen in and learn the three keys to finding focus and moving forward.

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.
