This week, host Anna Steinfest brings a powerful business lesson from the classic Grimm Brothers tale Hansel and Gretel. In a world where small business owners are often underestimated—by competitors, customers, or even themselves—this story reveals a truth every entrepreneur needs to hear:
Your abilities aren’t defined by age, pedigree, or experience.
They’re defined by resourcefulness, courage, and creativity.
Hansel and Gretel survived not because they were strong, wealthy, or experienced…
but because they were clever, strategic, and bold enough to act.
In this episode, Anna breaks down:
🔥 Why you must stop underestimating yourself
🔥 How resourcefulness beats resources in small business
🔥 How to think creatively when you feel stuck or “in the woods”
🔥 The danger of letting others’ assumptions shape your confidence
Plus, Anna gives you three actionable steps to help you reclaim your confidence, lean into your strengths, and step boldly into your week.
If you’ve ever felt too small, too new, or too inexperienced to compete, this message will remind you of the truth:
You are far more capable than others—and even you—think.
🎙️ Tune in and let this episode ignite your confidence and entrepreneurial grit.

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.
