Feeling drained despite getting enough sleep? Sometimes, exhaustion isn’t about needing more rest—it’s about your soul feeling empty, the burnout from neglecting passions, and the fatigue of constantly hustling without true joy. In a society that glorifies productivity over well-being, too many of us find ourselves stuck in a cycle of working, surviving, and barely making room for what truly lights us up. But what if the key to feeling energized isn’t more sleep or caffeine, but reconnecting with the things that make us feel alive? In this episode we talk about how feeding your passion and prioritizing fulfillment can break the cycle of exhaustion.


We cover:

  • The hidden exhaustion caused by neglecting creativity, adventure, and personal fulfillment
  • The impact of grind culture, which conditions us to prioritize work over joy
  • How our identities have become tied to job titles, making it harder to step away
  • The guilt associated with taking time for hobbies, and why it’s essential to reclaim that joy
  • Real-life examples of how stepping outside the grind can restore energy and emotional well-being
  • Support in reconnecting with passions without sacrificing responsibilities
  • Encouragement to redefine success, shifting the focus away from work-centric fulfillment and toward holistic well-being
  • The importance of breaking free from toxic productivity to reclaim personal joy, and infuse passion back into your daily life


If you’ve ever felt drained despite doing everything "right," this episode is for you. See you there. Cheers!

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.
