Loneliness is one of the most universal human experiences—yet it can feel so personal and isolating when you’re in it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the different shapes loneliness can take:
- The empty nest season when your kids move out.
- The kind of loneliness that lingers even when you’re surrounded by people.
- The ache of wishing for deeper friendships or more genuine connection.
We’ll talk about why loneliness isn’t always a “problem to fix,” but instead a signal with both pros and cons. You’ll hear how emotional intelligence can help you:
- Recognize the root of your loneliness.
- Sit with the emotion without letting it consume you.
- Create self-awareness, connection, and grace in the process.
Whether your life is full and busy or you’re quietly longing for deeper relationships, this conversation will help you see loneliness through a new lens—one that leaves you feeling more equipped, not more alone.
🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about the quiet power of this very human emotion.

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.
