Have you ever wondered why, despite all your achievements, you still don’t feel truly confident, alive, or at peace? I know that feeling deeply—because I lived it for years. What I’ve learned is that the very patterns that helped us succeed are often the ones quietly draining our energy, joy, and freedom.
In this episode, I reveal the five hidden success patterns that might actually be making you suffer: the Inner Critic, Perfectionism, Overachieving, People-Pleasing, and the Doer. These patterns push us to perform, achieve, and excel—but at a steep cost to our well-being and fulfillment.
I’ll share my own journey of discovering these patterns in myself, how they once ruled my life without me even knowing, and the moment I realized they were burning me out. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to begin breaking free. You’ll learn my 3R Method—Reset your nervous system, Reframe your parts, and Rise as your wise leader—so you can step into more calm, confidence, and joy.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own drive, second-guessed yourself after every success, or wondered why achievement doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would, this conversation is for you. I promise—you’re not broken. These patterns are not who you are. And with awareness and support, you can rewire them and create a life that truly fulfills you.

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.
