After returning from a month in Asia, I spent time reflecting—not just on the trip, but on how reflection itself has shaped my growth.
For most of my life, I didn’t reflect—I ruminated. I replayed moments in my head, judged myself harshly, and wondered what was wrong with me. Reflection felt like a waste of time. It wasn’t until I started therapy and coach training that I learned what true reflection is: intentional, productive thinking that integrates our experiences and transforms them into wisdom.
In this episode, I’ll share:
✨ The key difference between reflection and rumination—and why one fuels growth while the other drains you.
🧠 The neuroscience behind why reflection helps you regulate your emotions and rewire your brain.
💫 A simple 4-step framework to build a daily reflection habit that turns every experience—good or bad—into meaningful insight.
Reflection is how we close emotional loops, learn from our past, and step into our future with clarity and calm confidence.
So join me for this episode and learn how to pause, reflect, and truly grow.

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.
