RESOURCES FOR EPISODE
Your Spark Action Steps This Week
1️⃣ Track your headaches for 5 days. Write down the time, food, stress, and environment.
2️⃣ Hydrate like it’s your job. Aim for 8–10 glasses daily, adding electrolytes if needed.
3️⃣ Add one magnesium-rich food—spinach, almonds, or dark chocolate.
4️⃣ Try the peppermint compress. Combine two drops of peppermint oil with a damp cool cloth; apply to temples for 10 minutes.
5️⃣ Do one minute of 4-2-4 breathing when tension starts creeping up your neck.
These small habits build awareness and balance—your two best allies in menopause.

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.
