The Dangerous Cost of Lowered Standards
In this episode, I delve into the pervasive issue of lowered standards in today's society. Through personal anecdotes and observations, I illustrate how high expectations and accountability, once a norm, are now often met with resistance and labeled as harsh or offensive. I argue that this shift towards niceness over truth is not only weakening individuals but also damaging our larger social fabric. The key takeaway? Hold yourself and others to high standards – it's the only way to foster true growth and integrity.

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.
