In this episode, Erika sits down with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz — clinical psychologist, TEDx speaker, and author of Post Traumatic Parenting — to explore how generational trauma shapes families and what it takes to break the cycle. They discuss the subtle patterns that can pass from one generation to the next, why breaking them can feel so challenging, and practical ways parents and caregivers can foster healthier, more connected relationships. Dr. Koslowitz also clears up common misconceptions about trauma-informed parenting and shares insights to help families heal with intention, compassion, and emotional safety.

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.
