Why are we always apologizing?
In this episode of Everything Hurts, Danielle and Cheryl ask you to count how many times throughout the day you say, “I’m sorry.” Even when it’s not your fault…They’ll wait…Was it a lot? Unfortunately, it probably was. They discuss research that uncovers how women actually do apologize more than men, as well as how angry men are seen as more influential than angry women. That’s right. Twelve angry men get a cinematic classic; a dozen angry women is “Karen” convention. We also talk about how women are typically dismissed when they question or don’t have something pleasing to say (a huge topic that’ll receive more attention in a future episode).
We want to hear from you!
Because it takes a village to raise…well…ourselves, we’re ready to share a laugh, a cry and even an F-bomb with you. Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, email, carrier pigeon, smoke signals, whatevs.

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.
