In this bonus episode, Sandy Bartlett sits down with business coach Suzy Wraines, founder of Starting a Business Simplified, for a powerful conversation on how people-pleasing patterns can sabotage new entrepreneurs.
Together they unpack why so many women overwork, undercharge, and say yes too often and how learning to set boundaries is the secret to sustainable success. You’ll hear real stories from both Sandy and Suzy’s journeys, practical ways to write your own “business policies,” and why boundaries are an act of self-respect, not rejection.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down or scared to disappoint a client, this conversation will remind you: your business can grow without self-sacrifice.

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.
