Sarah and William process the feelings so many of us have but don't discuss, of disconnection and lack of community. They talk about the fallout of Covid-19 and how we need a sense of belonging in all different areas of our lives. How do we create (or re-create) community? What does community mean? How do we invite others into our worlds? And, most important: will we be brave enough not to suffer in silence but to raise our ha...

Sarah and William have a conversation about how they make decisions. They talk about course corrections and paying attention to the things that let you know whether you're on the right path, as well as managing decisions in a relationship, while also touching on things like mentors, forgiveness, and accepting other people's experiences.

In this helpful episode, Sarah and William talk about having uncomfortable conversations early, when only a 1% correction is needed, rather than avoiding them until you're waaaay off target and the issues are huge. They model conversations, doing a little role play, and touch on the trust pyramid, resentment, forgiveness, and more. Lots of good stuff here for making relationships work better, whether professional or personal.

Sarah picked a just-for-fun topic this time, and she and William discuss all things MINNESOTA! What's great about the state? What's unique? What do they love about it? Where else could they imagine living if they couldn't live in MN?

This one's also a mobile edition, so there's background road noise... but hey, it's MINNESOTA road noise, so it's all part of the experience!

Sarah and William discuss what's in their "mindset medicine cabinet"--the things they've learned to prioritize in order to stay in their "zone of genius." Their list includes things like movement, sleep, nutrition, routines, and knowing their stress triggers. (There's more than that--you'll have to listen to get them all!)

We've passed the halfway mark on 2024, and Sarah and William have a conversation about goals! Are we on track for this year's goals? How do we think about goals? How do we move toward them effectively? There are some great moments about perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, making the next right decision, and seeing failure as a mirror for improvement. It's a good one!

    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.
