In this powerful episode, we peel back the layers of generational trauma within immigrant families, particularly South Asian families. Tracing its roots to the weight of historical burdens, from colonization and partition to ongoing conflicts, and explore its ripple effects across generations. We delve into the invisible scars - the emotional toll of conflict-based trauma, strained relationships, and even heightened physical vulnerabilities. We finish with the importance of setting boundaries, open communication, self-compassion, and seeking professional support pave the way for healing and breaking the cycle.

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.
