In our discussion, we explored the complexities of parenting, boundaries, and the journey of reparenting ourselves. We recognize the importance of setting clear boundaries in parenting, acknowledging that children thrive when expectations are established. However, we also admit to the challenges of balancing our children's desires with the needs of the family as a whole.
Generational differences in parenting styles became apparent, particularly in how older generations may exhibit entitlement, disregarding parental wishes in favor of spoiling grandchildren. This led us to reflect on the concept of reparenting, where we seek to address negative inner voices and behaviors stemming from past experiences.
Therapy and counseling emerged as vital components in this process. While we acknowledge the potential role of parents in reparenting, we also explore the idea of finding guidance from external sources such as therapists, sponsors in recovery programs, or self-help resources like books and podcasts.
Throughout our conversation, we emphasized the importance of self-compassion and growth. We understand that healing from past traumas or dysfunctional family dynamics requires time, effort, and the right support system. By integrating therapy and counseling concepts into our journey of reparenting, we strive to foster personal growth and create healthier family dynamics.

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.
