Anyone else feeling like the world - particularly the U.S. - is a bit of a hot mess right now? We are there with you. In one of our first truly unscripted episodes, host CH highlights the significance and power of shared experiences in building resilience during a time where the world seems fraught with political uncertainty and sudden, uncontrolled change. And she reminds us once again to focus on some key tenets that we DO have control over: 1) that which brings us joy; 2) remaining connected within our communities; and 3) avoiding doom scrolling of the news cycle echo chamber. She also shares what it has been like working inside a non-profit cancer research center in the U.S. during a time of great uncertainty over funding resources. It's a deeply personal episode, but one that aims to still find light and hope in some darker, challenging times.
Show Notes
- The full quote that CH paraphrased during this episode was: "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." It was spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore, in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.'

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.
