You are more powerful than you think.
With the right attitude and mindset, you can achieve anything in life. This is the belief of my guest in this episode, Ani Filipova.
Ani grew up with humble beginnings in Bulgaria, a socialist country, where she was always told “be quiet” and “don’t speak up”. But she knew she wanted more out of life, and she has never let those voices stop her.
Going on to become COO of Citbank that has 250,00 employees globally, Ani talks about why she left it all behind to focus on her family and then become a coach. She shares the deep challenges she faced in having children, and the mental load this had on her fearing it may never happen.

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.
