Moving on to Chapter four ... Motherhood.
Jenny talks about the reality of becoming a first time mum and what it really felt like at the time. Mairead talks about similar feelings and both agree that it is the steepest learning curve of their lives. In the book there is some advice for anyone new into the world of Motherhood. Mairead talks about the plans she always had for a fourth baby that unfortunately never happened and the IVF journey she went on. And there is a chat about the word Motherhood and how it doesn't have to necessarily involve having biological children - 'To be female is to mother, and for the most part we should be mothering ourselves'.

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.
