In this episode, we explore the idea of examining unspoken expectations and obligations within relationships. We realize that constantly doing favors can create resentment and inauthentic connections. We discuss the importance of clear communication and setting boundaries to establish healthier, more supportive relationships.
This episode touches on a few common themes in psychotherapy:
- Codependency: We explore dynamics where people feel overly obligated to meet the needs of others, often at their own expense.
- Boundaries: The conversation highlights the importance of setting boundaries to protect our own well-being and create healthier relationships.
- Communication: Open and honest communication is essential for expressing needs and navigating change within relationships.
- Self-awareness: The episode emphasizes the importance of reflecting on our own patterns of behavior and underlying motivations.
By reevaluating our expectations and communicating openly, we can build more fulfilling and supportive relationships.

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.
