In a world where everyone seems desperate to be right, what if not winning was actually the real win?
In this episode, we break down the difference between ego surrender, apathy, and true inner confidence. Drawing from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, and real-life examples, we explore why the need to “win” every conversation often does more harm than good—and how letting go can lead to deeper peace, stronger relationships, and real personal growth.
We’ll talk about:
Why your ego craves victory
The quiet strength of choosing peace over pride
How to tell the difference between healthy detachment and unhealthy apathy
Why confidence doesn’t need to shout
Practical strategies to navigate tough conversations without losing yourself
Whether you're a people pleaser, a chronic debater, or just someone tired of pointless arguments, this episode is packed with insights you can use today to upgrade how you show up in every conversation.
🎧 Hit play—and maybe win a little less, but grow a whole lot more.

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.
