Ida Beerhalter is a sought after international, financial advisor and investment powerhouse. Since 2012 she has been the Co-Head IOME, a private investment partnership of women in the Gulf region. Ida and Claudia are talking about the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities, even if you feel unqualified, as others see potential in you that you may not see yourself. We further discuss, how women investors tend to ask harder questions and focus on concrete metrics like cash-on-cash returns rather than getting carried away by projections. Ida advocates for women to exercise the power of their money and not delegate financial management without understanding. Sustainability is a key focus for Ida's future projects.
Ida feels relaxed approaching 60, with the mindset that she can do anything but doesn't need to do everything. She values small moments of happiness, like appreciating new trees in her garden. Ida shares her admiration for her parents for their resilience in overcoming war trauma and building their lives. About her experience in the Middle East Ida says, that the Saudi culture is particularly welcoming and gentle, allowing for cultural mistakes and learning. Here she truly learned the importance of timing and context when addressing sensitive topics, and she developed more patience and discretion in conversations, applying this globally.
We talk about Women and Finance and in Ida's experience, as the co-lead of a women-run business in the Middle East, focusing on empowering women to manage their wealth, she emphasizes the importance of understanding financial terms and asking for absolute numbers rather than percentages. Ida notes that women investors often have a different, more cautious approach compared to men.

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.
