Welcome to Love Notes — your Friday night ritual in The Passion Zone. I’m Allie Theiss, your guide through poems, dedications, reflections, and sparks of intimacy.
I created Love Notes — both live and as a recorded podcast — because the world needs more love. Everywhere we turn, from the news to social media, we’re bombarded by chaos and heartbreak. This show is my way of shifting the energy — of creating space to invite love in, remember what it feels like, and remind each other that connection still matters.
NO SHOW SEPTEMBER 26th!
Join me live every Friday night, 9–10 pm ET on TikTok @the.passion.zone

We opened tonight with lines from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, reminding us that love is not about possession or control — but about presence and care.

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.
