In this episode, Dr. Tali Arviv, board-certified in internal medicine and practicing cosmetic dermatologist, breaks down the world of aesthetics through a grounded, honest lens. She and Spencer Moore talk about why women seek aesthetic procedures, how confidence shapes our choices, and how to navigate the overwhelming amount of information surrounding aging, injectables, and cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Arviv explains what women should know before getting Botox or fillers, the rising demand for labiaplasty, and how media impacts how we see ourselves. She also sheds light on the role hormone therapy can play during menopause and why internal health matters just as much as what we do on the surface.
This conversation is all about clarity, helping women make informed, empowered decisions about their bodies, their health, and their confidence.

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.
