In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of nostalgia and explore how our memories can often paint a rosier picture of the past. Join us as we discuss the bittersweet nature of nostalgia, the selective memory that often accompanies it, and how our longing for the "good old days" can sometimes blind us to the present.
We'll explore the psychology behind nostalgia, discussing why we're drawn to the past and how it can provide comfort, escapism, and a sense of belonging. However, we'll also examine the potential downsides of nostalgia, such as its ability to hinder our ability to move forward and appreciate the present.
Through personal anecdotes, expert insights, and audience interactions, we'll explore the bittersweet reality of remembering the good old days. Is it truly a comforting escape, or is it a trap that prevents us from embracing the present?

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.
