I know what it’s like for the dream to feel so much harder than you imagined. I’ve been there—facing fear, self-doubt, unexpected curveballs, and the deep exhaustion that comes from caring so much. Because the hard parts make you want to throw in the towel, question everything, and wonder if maybe you were wrong for wanting it in the first place. That’s exactly why I wanted to have this conversation with you.
Today, I’m opening up about the behind-the-scenes moments of my own dreams and the six mindsets that helped me keep going—without quitting on myself or my dreams.
If your dream feels heavier than you thought, I know this episode will give you the mindset tools to get through to the other side.
HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Hard doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re in it.
2️⃣ Fear is often a sign that you care deeply.
3️⃣ Joy can live right next to struggle.

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.
