Amanda was born in New York, raised in Maryland, and currently calls West Virginia home. Amanda is married and has three amazing sons. But life hasn't always been so rosy for Amanda. In the past, she struggled with body image issues and low self-esteem. She was in a bad relationship and her career wasn't going where she wanted.

A pivotal point in Amanda's life came when she found her current job. "I met new people and found a job I loved," Amanda explains. "I realized I deserved better than a current personal situation I was in."

As a result of this pivotal moment, Amanda found the courage to leave her bad relationship. She started to thrive and advance in her career, and that brought her increased confidence. Amanda decided that going forward, she would only allow people in her life who brought her joy! Between her newfound happy home life and work life, Amanda learned to love herself just the way she was.

Today, Amanda lives by her favorite motto, taken from The Wizard of Oz: You had the power all along.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
