Why do you lose control around food even when you know better?
It’s not about willpower. And it’s not about discipline.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

  • The shortcut your brain has learned (and how to unlearn it)
  • Why “just try harder” always fails
  • What the urge to eat is really about
  • A question that can change everything

This is the first in a series spotlighting Peace with Food: The Emotional Eating Toolbox - my new 30-day program to help you build real, lasting peace with food.

Listen in, and start replacing guilt with insight - one curious pause at a time.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
