In this week’s episode, we’re taking a look at dysfunctional relationships and the signs— some subtle and some very direst — that can mean you’re in a toxic situation. Inspired by a real-life story from social media, we talk about how some individuals may exhibit manipulative behaviors that isolate and control their partners.


We talk about:

  • The importance of recognizing red flags in relationships
  • Healthy versus unhealthy dynamics
  • Identifying toxic behaviors
  • The importance of maintaining individuality in relationships
  • The necessity of having a support system
  • Practical advice on addressing these issues with your partner
  • The importance of walking away — and getting help if needed


We also talk about safeguarding your emotional well-being and ensuring that your relationships are built on mutual respect and trust. 


Whether you’re in a controlling relationship — or you know someone who is — this episode is for you.


This episode is a Sunday Shot: a short and sweet solo episode with a runtime of approximately 10 - 20 minutes.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
