We've all felt it; that moment when we're overcome by the beauty of a moment. Maybe it's in the vastness of nature or maybe at the birth of a child. The joy crashes in and envelopes us. But what about the small joys and beauty found in the moment? Are you able to let those in?
In this episode I talk about how to be more open to the beauty of the moment -and how to make joy a daily practice.

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.
