00:00 - 00:35 "I think really what I love parents to understand is think about marketing in a business. If you open a business and you just start marketing, marketing, marketing, but you don't have a business plan, you're either going to run out of money or ideas. And that's with a student, when you start them in middle school and you help them figure out their gifts, their talents, their core values, and you start to look at your financials as a family, that gives you a runway of how are we going to build our plan. And that's what it's all about. It's all about the plan.” — Shellee Howard

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.
