Today, I have the great honor of introducing you to my right-hand woman: Alex Beesting. Alex keeps me focused, grounded, and always growing in this business, but honestly, I don’t have a ton of advice for how I originally found her. It was just meant to be.
So, this episode is not one about finding your perfect employee… It’s about the joy and ease you can have in your business when you finally do find your person that you just gel with.
In this episode, Alex tells the story of how she started in urban planning and ended up at Kirsten Screen Inc. We talk about how we knew we were a great pair, our matching business ethos, and how we stay in sync with each other without overworking.
Plus, stick around until the end of the episode for a big announcement! You won’t want to miss it. Let’s dive in!

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.
