Breaking Free from Social Media: Rediscovering Confidence and Your Own Path
Have you ever found yourself doing things because you feel you have to rather than because you want to?
It was the realisation that I was jumping through hoops on social media that caused me to step away from 'creating content' and in this episode of 'An Espresso Shot of Confidence' I explore my decision to step back from social media and the business world's demands. And, I encourage you to do the same to get some distance and figure out what you really want!
During the episode, I reflect on my decision to reduce my social media presence, the challenges of constant online engagement, and the importance of making personal choices over societal expectations.
The episode encourages listeners to create their own path, prioritize offline interactions, and cultivate a fulfilling life by rejecting the 'shoulds' imposed by others.

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.
