My guest this week is Mags (Margaret) Scroope whose professional life has included being a teacher, corporate trainer, Aibnb host, and now entrepreneur! Mags is also a dear friend we met when we stayed in her Airbnb in Johannesburg, and she warmly invited us for a glass of wine to learn more about us, Americans who own a farm in the Free State!
Mags’ vibrancy and zest for life is the primary reason I wanted her to join me on the podcast. As she relays her professional and life experiences, and reflects on what she has learned, you’ll experience first hand how All the Way Alive she is! Mags is a great storyteller and she had me in stitches as she described resigning from a job. I encourage you to listen to the end for her reflections and appreciation for some of the challenges of living in South Africa!
I loved talking with Mags, and hope you enjoy our conversation.

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.
