Keeping it Real, Mama
Every parent has a story. When I had my daughter in 2022, I quickly realized how hard it is to be a mother and how important it is to provide a platform for parents to talk about their prenatal, postpartum, and parenting experiences. If there's anything I learned as a mom, you need to give yourself grace. On Keeping It Real, Mama podcast, I listen to your stories — from birth experiences and miscarriages to postpartum depression and anxiety to the struggles and joys of toddler parenting. You have a voice, and you should be heard. Thanks for following along. Remember: You got this.

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.
