For years, I've watched women, especially moms, ignore their own needs in ways that go beyond putting family first. There's this magical thinking around wardrobe - "I just won't plan to spend anything for clothes" - but that could be considered avoiding responsibility for self-care.
Research from Harvard shows that making daily choices actually extends longevity.
When elderly nursing home residents were given simple decisions to make, they lived longer than those who had everything decided for them. Getting dressed gives you dozens of opportunities every day to exercise choice and practice self-care.
In this episode, I share how my five levels of style psychology are actually progressive forms of self-care, from basic body protection to authentic self-expression. Plus, I explain the psychology behind why avoiding style choices creates a negative cycle - and how small, conscious clothing decisions can help you reconnect with caring for yourself. Most moms think getting dressed is just another chore to get through, but actually it's one of the most accessible forms of daily self-care.

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.
