On this week's episode, I sit down with special guest Mackinzi Bradshaw to discuss the challenges of being a first-time, stay-at-home mom vs. being in corporate America. As females, we feel pressure daily to fit inside the box that society tells us we should fit within. These pressures look different because of the different paths we are on, but the heart of overcoming them is the same. We also talk about how we maintain our strong friendship through intentionality, vulnerability, and authenticity even though we are on very different paths in life.
The CDC reports that 1 in 10 women in the United States have experienced an episode of major depression in the past year. When focusing on postpartum depression, that number can reach as high as 1 in 5, depending on the state. That is why we, as women, should stand together and support one another through life's challenges. Whether that's having a new baby, starting a new career, or simply trying to figure out who you are in the world as a woman - we need each other, now more than ever.
Let's make lemonade!

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.
