Ever set a realistic plan, fully commit to your goals, and still find yourself skipping the workout or reaching for extra treats instead of sticking to the plan? You’re not alone — and it’s not just about willpower. In this episode, Lisa explores the concept of “rebellious excitement,” and the sneaky mindset that makes you ditch your carefully crafted plan in favor of quick relief or pleasure.
Lisa explains how this inner rebel is rooted in psychological reactance, our brain’s pushback when we feel our freedom is being limited, even by rules we set for ourselves. You’ll learn how to recognize when your inner rebel is taking the wheel, practical questions to pause and reframe your choices, and strategies to create balance between staying on track and enjoying life along the way.

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.
