🔊 The Lies We Believe – Part 4: “It Wasn’t That Bad”

How many times have you told yourself, “It wasn’t that bad”? How often have you compared your trauma to someone else’s and convinced yourself that you shouldn’t feel hurt, angry, or broken?

This is one of the most dangerous lies survivors tell themselves. It keeps us silent. It keeps us stuck. And it stops us from truly healing.

The truth is—pain is pain. No matter what you went through, your experience is valid. The moment we start minimizing our trauma, we also minimize our need for healing.

In this episode of Voice Up for the Voiceless, we dive deep into why we believe this lie, how it affects our healing journey, and the power of acknowledging our pain instead of dismissing it.

Katy and Angela share personally how this lie has manifested in their lives. It’s time to break free from this toxic mindset and embrace the truth: Your story matters. Your healing matters. YOU matter. 💜

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.
