🚀 This is Part 1 of our 5-part series on the real journey of becoming an entrepreneur and content creator!
Thinking of quitting your 9-5 to start a business or become a content creator? The Leap of Faith kicks off our honest look at the ups, downs, and daily grind of building something from scratch.
Unlike most people making videos about this—those who already have 500K subscribers, YouTube plaques, and $50K+ a month rolling in—we’re still in the trenches. KayCee is a business owner with her own supplement line, and Just E is a content creator managing three (3) YouTube Channels with a 4th one in the making. We’re not talking from the top looking down—we’re sharing the journey as we live it, in real time.
If you’re just starting or even just thinking about becoming a content creator or entrepreneur, this series is for you. We’re talking about the realities: the small wins, the big mistakes, and what it takes to keep going when no one’s cheering yet.
🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode (Part 1):
✔️ The push & pull moments that make people finally quit their 9-5
✔️ Burnout, failure & fear of judgment—why creators often quit early
✔️ The truth about making money online—what no one tells you
✔️ Gatekeeping vs community building in the entrepreneurial space
✔️ Balancing relationships, family & business without losing yourself
✔️ Rebranding & pivoting strategies when your business isn’t working
📌 We’re not hustling gurus—we’re on the same journey you might be starting, and we’re sharing everything we’re learning as we build.
🎙️ Watch, comment & share your story of taking the leap!

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.
