Welcome back to another episode of the Beauty in You podcast a safe haven for women to relax, recharge, and rediscover their authentic selves. This week, host Chi Quita Mack is joined by the vibrant Cordelia Gaffar, known as the "ultimate joy goddess," for a powerful, real, and deeply personal conversation on healing, self-love, and the journey of rediscovery after life’s toughest challenges.
Together, they dive into Cordelia’s story of transformation from her experiences as a mother of six and a 20-year marriage to embracing joy, navigating divorce, exploring somatic healing, and channeling rage into self-nurturing and creative energy. From the importance of embracing our emotions (even the messy ones like anger and guilt), to creating self-pleasure practices, and the spiritual depths of connection sex, healing, non-monogamy, and more are all on the table.
Cordelia shares how retreats in volcanic Hawaii help women connect with the elements, confront their rage, and rediscover themselves beyond societal expectations.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sometimes, true growth comes from embracing solitude, honoring your needs, and allowing yourself space to heal and bloom.
Settle in for an inspiring discussion full of wisdom, laughter, and the gentle nudge you may need to start your own journey of healing and joy.

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.
