In this interview Amanda and I discuss:
- What’s Good about Fall and Rainbow Trees
- How to integrate racial justice values into our families, especially with young children.
Amanda offers specific tips.
- How you can only bring what you have to racial justice work and how she has increased her capacity over the last five years to go from freezing and appeasing to calling out racism.
- How to help her children hold a Jewish identity in a Christian dominant culture.
- How to go from an extremely hectic schedule with kids, building a business, and community racial justice work to taking time for stillness, quiet and contemplation.
Amanda took a gradual approach that helped her stick to it.
- How Doing Less and Doing Meditation has enabled her to show up with more healing and Presence for her children, clients, and community.
- How Amanda’s school district Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee works and why she felt it was important to do that work and let other things go.
- How sometimes we use our fatigue and exhaustion as a badge of honor, as proof that we are good enough. But we are already good enough.

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.
