In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most underrated superpowers in leadership and life: deep, intentional listening. From building trust and diffusing conflict to strengthening culture and deepening relationships, listening is more than just a soft skill, it’s a strategic one.

Whether you're leading a team, running a business, raising kids, or simply trying to be a better human, this episode is your reminder that listening matters.

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.
