Unmasking Emotional Manipulation: How to Spot the Signs, Set Boundaries, and Reclaim Your Power
In this powerful deep dive, we tackle the complex and often subtle world of emotional manipulation—how it shows up in relationships, why it's so hard to spot, and the lasting effects it can have. Guided by insights from the article Unmasking Emotional Manipulation: Understanding and Healing, we explore five common tactics used by manipulators: withholding affection, gaslighting, playing the victim, silent treatment, and guilt-tripping.
We also discuss how manipulators prey on vulnerabilities, how to recognize these tactics, and—most importantly—how to reclaim your power. Understanding these patterns is the first step to protecting yourself and building healthier relationships.

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.
