You have routines, systems, and boundaries that work—until your husband steps in and does things differently. Maybe he’s more lenient, skips the routine, or just doesn’t follow through. You want to be a team, but instead it feels like you’re working against each other.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how to handle parenting differences with your husband (whether he’s well-meaning but inconsistent or completely checked out) so you can protect peace in your home without constant tension.
You’ll learn:
- How to recognize when it’s a true difference in values vs. just a different approach
- What to do when your husband doesn’t follow routines or discipline the same way
- How to communicate without criticizing or “mom-ing” your husband
- How to lead with calm strength instead of control
- When to let go, when to speak up, and how to stay grounded in your role

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.
