If you’ve ever woken up after a full night’s sleep and still felt tired…
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I just can’t do this anymore,” even when everything looks fine from the outside…
This episode is for you.
In this deeply personal conversation, I share my own journey through burnout — from corporate success to complete exhaustion — and what I’ve learned about what’s really happening beneath the surface. Burnout isn’t a lack of willpower, discipline, or strength. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you the only way it knows how.
I’ll walk you through my 4R Reset Process — a nervous-system-based framework to help you rebuild your energy and joy from the inside out:
✨ Recognize the early signs of burnout before it hits full force
✨ Regulate your body with gentle movement that restores safety
✨ Replenish what burnout makes you neglect — sleep, nourishment, connection
✨ Rewire the inner “Doer” part that equates rest with laziness
You’ll learn how to shift from chronic survival mode into a calm, grounded state where you can finally feel present, creative, and alive again.
I’ll also share why traditional fixes — vacations, mindset pep talks, or productivity hacks — don’t work, and how true recovery begins when you stop pushing against your biology and start working with your nervous system.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to start feeling more energized, clear, and hopeful — not someday, but today.

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.
