Feeling wired and anxious, with your brain rehearsing every worst-case scenario?
Like you’re carrying a really heavy backpack stuffed with intrusive thoughts?
Take a walk with me and let’s shake some of that off.
This 15-minute indoor or outdoor walking workout is for the days when anxiety feels physical and you still have to function like a human.
We’ll calm anxiety, reduce stress, and walk off some of that nervous energy.
Get out of your head and into your legs so that jittery, anxious energy has somewhere to go. And, set down some of the mental load you’re carrying for everyone else, without pretending the real problems don’t exist.
You’ll also hear a ridiculous backpack story from my travels in Europe, so you can picture anxiety as an overstuffed pack you are allowed to take off now and then.
Our walk is lighter than a therapy session, but it still helps you feel calmer, steadier, and a little more like yourself. (There's background walking music, too - yay!)
Plus completely pointless mentions of Donna Summer, why I love my thighs, Sarajevo, the Athens metro strike, and being a digital nomad. Somehow, I fit that all in.

P.S. You’ll hear a bell halfway through. If you’re walking outside, that’s your signal to turn around if you want.

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.
