What if showing your flaws could make your business thrive?
In this episode of The Pathless Path, Kiki and Naya open up about the raw, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship, the part no one talks about. We share how stepping into vulnerability changed everything: from how we show up online, to building trust with our audience, to finding the courage to do business our own way.
We talk about:
- The first time we risked being truly vulnerable online
- Balancing authenticity and professionalism as entrepreneurs
- The role of nervous system healing and self-love in business
- The ripple effect vulnerability has on community, confidence, and leadership
- Why your story matters (and how to share it without fear)
This episode isn’t about strategies or formulas. It’s about peeling back the layers, leaning into discomfort, and discovering the power of being human in business.
If you’re an entrepreneur (or dreaming of becoming one) who struggles with perfectionism, self-doubt, or fear of being seen, this conversation is for you.

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.
