“For me listening is very much a form of meditation.”
“The core of the how is to spend a lot of time following. Setup, following, and leading.”
“To help someone be less upset, we follow. And when they’re done being upset, we check if it’s ok to lead.”
"People don’t always talk about the thing that really bothers them. Sometimes they don’t even know. And if we listen to them well they can find out.”

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.
