Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, why did that get so heated? Wishing you’d found the right words instead of freezing up or overreacting.
The truth is, the next argument you have doesn’t have to be an argument at all.
In this episode, I’m joined by trial lawyer and bestselling author Jefferson Fisher, who has spent his career navigating high-stakes conversations where every word matters. Together, we break down simple but powerful strategies you can use to stay calm, confident, and clear—even in the heat of conflict.
You’ll learn how a single word swap can transform an entire conversation, how to pause before reacting so you don’t get emotionally hijacked, and why confidence isn’t something you summon beforehand but something you earn by how you speak.
If you’ve ever wanted to argue less, influence more, and finally feel heard, this episode will give you the tools to make your next conversation the one that changes everything.

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.
