"Should I have kids?" you're wondering. Or maybe "Am I ready to have a baby?" Or for all the toddler moms out there, you're asking, "should I have another baby?" It seems like everyone is trying to answer this question lately. But in all the videos I watch on family planning, they're missing an important piece: your faith. Following Jesus changes everything about having kids. It changes our perspective on purpose, money, capacity and so much more. Let's begin unpacking this huge decision in today's episode.

Can motherhood really be made simple? I'm not going to tell you it can be easy. Anything worth doing requires hard work! But you don't have to feel burdened and stressed out and overwhelmed anymore. You don't need to do this on your own strength. I'm Micaela, and I'm here to help Christian moms of toddlers work on a positive motherhood mindset and simplify the things we can as we learn to trust God with the rest. I've made it my mission to help you find lasting joy and peace as you raise your precious toddlers.

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.
