Brandon reflects on what it means to lead as a dad in today’s world, especially in the chaos of co-parenting, fractured relationships, or the quiet ache of feeling disconnected. While fatherhood is often defined by the roles of provider and protector, Brandon offers a deeper and more honest perspective: presence over perfection, influence over control. A father’s choices carry a lasting impact, and even when relationships feel too broken to fix, repair is still possible. Through humility and consistency, a father can create space for healing, not just for his children but for himself. Speaking to the father who feels worn down, overlooked, or unsure of what comes next, Brandon reminds that emotions do not weaken leadership; they deepen it. No child needs a flawless dad, but every child needs one who can say, “I messed up. I’m still here. I love you.” Leadership in fatherhood is not about certainty. It is about presence, values, and the courage to keep learning. The true legacy of a father lives in the quiet choices, the steady efforts, and the willingness to show up again and again.

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.
