Kathleen Conner spent decades being the woman who had it all together—running a business, raising a family, and saying yes to everyone but herself. At 53, she had a revelation: she was living the “perfect life that was perfectly wrong for her.” Out of that moment of truth, she created The Box-Breaking Method™—a transformative framework that helps women break free from the roles and expectations that keep them feeling small, tired, and unseen.
In this episode:
- Kathleen shares how she looked like she “had it all together” while secretly falling apart inside.
- She explains her big aha moment at 53, when she realized her “perfect life” wasn’t perfect for her.
- Kathleen shares why so many successful women put everyone first (people pleasing) and forget themselves, often without even noticing.
- She explains how to spot people pleasing by paying attention to that tired, heavy feeling when we say yes too fast.
- She talks about her own burnout — waking up tired, going to bed tired, and feeling totally drained all the way through.
- Kathleen shares simple ways to start setting boundaries, like pausing before saying yes and letting “not right now” be enough.
- Kathleen explains how breaking out of boxes starts with noticing where you feel restricted, then making small, safe changes.
- She talks about her free discovery call and how she helps women figure out where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there.

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.
