Today I'm joined by my dear former colleague and friend Dr. Iain Smith, a psychologist focused on workplace culture and performance. We talk about what loneliness really is, how it's defined, and where it comes from. We explore how it shows up in the modern world of dating and relationships, and what to do about it. This was such a fascinating conversation with tons of rich psychology for anyone who wants to understand their feelings of loneliness better.

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.
