On the eleventh episode of Life After Dobbs, Leah’s Libresco Sargent’s New York Times essay about her painful experience with ectopic pregnancy serves as the beginning of a broad conversation with Ryan and Alexandra about the place of career and familial obligation in one’s life, how our culture overlooks and ignores human dependence and need, and what different answers to the abortion question say about the human person.

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.
