Finding out I need surgery hit me with a truth I’ve been avoiding which is: there aren’t many people I can truly rely on. Yeah, there are people who love me, but love and showing up aren’t the same thing. As a single parent, I already carry so much on my own, and this just made me realize how alone I really am.
In this episode, I get real about burnout, feeling unsupported, and the weight of doing everything alone. I’m also sharing ways to build the support system you do need, even if it takes a while to build it. From delegating tasks to creating a support system of chosen people, we’re talking about how to lighten the load and stop running on empty. If you’ve ever felt like it’s all on you, this one’s for you.

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.
