Are your (new year) goals body and health related? Has it been hard to reach your goals in the past?

This week’s guest, fitness trainer Emily Eckstein, will help you get focused and explain how you can improve your mindset around losing weight, body shaming, and loving yourself. This is an invitation to go deep within and get vulnerable with yourself, because knowing your WHY will be the driving force of your actions.  

When we put in time and energy working towards a goal and we don’t see the desired results quickly, we get discouraged and feel unmotivated. We need to reevaluate our mindset and the way we invest time in ourselves in the long run.  

Emily and Jill also talk about other success factors such as: scheduling workouts, setting monthly goals, and choosing exercises you enjoy and make you feel good. We function better when we feel good, so let's keep moving and raising our vibrations!

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
