In this month’s Five Minute Breakdown, Sheri dives into Take a Shot at Happiness: How to Write, Direct & Produce the Life You Want by Maria Baltazzi, PhD, MFA.
Maria — an Emmy-winning producer and part of the original Survivor team — uses her filmmaking background to show how you can write, direct, and produce your own life story. The book lays out eight essentials of happiness, from faith and love to gratitude and abundance, with practical tools she calls “happiness shots.”
Sheri shares what worked, what didn’t, what critics are saying, and her own honest thoughts. No extras, no filler — just the heart of the book in under five minutes.

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.
