Kate is breaking down the crucially important difference between supportive compassionate helping, and enabling bad behavior.
There is a blurry line between the two that is often complicated by personal and caring relationships. But it is a slippery slope, and while no one ever intends to enable behavior in another that is unhealthy, supportive helping can turn into enabling behavior.
In this episode Kate outlines:
- The difference between Compassion & Enabling
- How enabling can do harm
- The relationships where we need to be aware of the potential to become an enabler
- How we can recognize enabling behavior in ourselves
- 3 ways we can move away from enabling, and back towards compassion

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.
