This week on the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m joined by ceremonialist and wisdom-keeper Maria Yraceburu—and we’re diving deep into the ancient Earth teachings that modern life forgot. From the truth about lunar cycles and water’s role in your wellbeing, to why ritual isn’t just “woo”—it’s survival—we’re reconnecting to the rhythms that have always guided us.

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.
