Thinking about a career pivot? Maybe it’s bigger than that. Maybe it’s a life pivot. In this episode, Kendall Breitman, Head of Community at Riverside.fm, shares her deeply personal journey of stepping away from a well-established high-profile career in political journalism — where she covered the 2016 U.S. presidential election as a reporter for Bloomberg News and worked in TV production at NBC — to carve out something new in tech.
But making a major career change isn’t just about picking a different job—it’s about unlearning old definitions of success, avoiding the traps of ‘playing it safe,’ and navigating the emotional and practical challenges that come with big transitions. Kendall gets candid about the fears, the doubts, and the surprising moments of clarity that shaped her decision.
If you're questioning your own career path, feeling stuck, or wondering if your next move is about more than just work, this episode is for you. Tune in for a conversation that just might change the way you think about reinvention.

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.
