In this episode of Simply Authentic, we welcome Katie Towns, Director of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department. Katie served as Assistant Director during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when public health was at the forefront of our community’s response. She shares her experiences leading through one of the most challenging crises of our time—what she learned, the leadership skills she developed, and how she eventually stepped into the role of Director.
Looking back, is there anything she would have done differently? Are we, as a region and a nation, more prepared for future health emergencies? And what advice does she have for other leaders facing high-pressure situations?
Join us for an illuminating conversation about resilience, decision-making, and the leadership lessons that emerge from navigating a crisis.

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.
