In today's episode of Starting Overdrive, we talk with legendary singer, Juno Award nominee, and Queen of Scream, Darby Mills, who rose to fame in the early-to-mid Eighties as the front-woman of the Canadian band, The Headpins, which sold a million copies worldwide of their debut album Turn It Loud, and topped the Billboard charts with such hits as "Don't It Make You Feel" and "Just One More Time" to name a few. As we delve into the career and life story of Darby Mills, we learn more about the many times she's had to start over, her association to change throughout her life, how she perceives risk, leaving The Headpins for the first time, working with some of the biggest names in music, losing record deals, going solo on her own, how she personally faced adversity, leaving The Headpins for a second time later in her career, starting over with The Darby Mills Project, and how she found strength in her own story of starting over.

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.
