If you’ve ever wondered how your family could make it work on one income, this episode is for you. On this episode, I share my personal story of transitioning from a two-income household to a home-centered life — and the practical steps, mindset shifts, and faith lessons that made it possible.
You’ll learn how to:
💡 Identify the true financial and emotional cost of working outside your home
📝 Build or review your family budget with prayer and purpose
🏡 Spend smarter and stretch your resources through simple habits
❤️ Communicate with your husband and find unity in financial decisions
🙏 View your finances through the lens of Biblical stewardship and trust in God's provision
Whether you’re preparing to step away from full-time work, already navigating life and motherhood on one income, or simply learning to steward well what you've been given, this conversation will help you take your next step with confidence and faith.

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.
