There have been plenty of times I haven't trusted my gut. In life and business. Sometimes ignoring it has me chasing a shiny object... sometimes it leads me to think I need to change everything NOW... I've collaborated with the wrong people, tried things I didn't want to do, and I've even posted something I didn't feel 100% about, but I did it anyway because #consistency.
My MAIN downfall when not listening to my gut when it comes to ignoring red flags or second-guessing the color I'm seeing.
Red, yellow, or maybe even green? What color is the flag? That’s where we’re headed in this episode:
- 6 Common reasons we ignore the red flags
- 7 Red flags reminding you to run the other way
- 7 Yellow(ish?) flags reminding you to proceed with caution
- How to get better at spotting red flags and upholding your word to yourself
- 5 Ways to say no professionally (and a bonus silly one 🤪)
- And 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.
