(un)conversations®
Welcome to the (un)conversations podcast with your host Dr. Alison—where comfort zones get left behind. This isn’t the show for playing it safe. Each episode brings you real, raw, and (un)scripted conversations with global CxOs, founders, and influential industry leaders who challenge norms, break barriers, and redefine leadership on their own terms. A signature moment in every episode? One unique part of every episode is my brainchild experience of The (UN)word Effect—where guests choose three words beginning with “UN” that hold deep personal, professional, and leadership significance.

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.
