Are you truly prepared for the future, or are you just hoping things will work out? In today’s episode, I’m sounding the alarm on where we’re heading financially and what that means for your future. This isn’t just about goals or dreams—this is about waking up to the reality of what’s happening around us. The cost of living is skyrocketing, wages are stagnating, and inflation is eating away at our savings. Whether you’re 22 or 62, it’s time to take a hard look at where you are and where you’re going. I’m sharing eye-opening stats, like how home prices have soared 138% in the past 15 years, while incomes have only risen 25%. This trend isn’t getting any better, and if you don’t make changes now, you could find yourself working harder just to keep your head above water. It’s time to stop waiting for someone else to save you—no politician, no influencer, no external force is going to fix this for you. I’m challenging you to think about your career, your spending habits, and your future. If you’re not earning enough, it’s time to consider new skills, a side hustle, or even a complete career change. The world is evolving fast, and so must you. I’m not going to sugarcoat it—this path won’t be easy. But if you want to rise above the average, you’ve got to be willing to put in the work and develop skills that make you undeniable. Remember, your future won’t be shaped by chance—it will be determined by the actions you take today. This episode is about confronting the truth, taking control of your life, and making the decisions that will set you and your family up for success. Key Takeaways: - The alarming gap between rising costs and stagnant wages - Why relying on traditional savings or a single income stream may not be enough - The importance of developing skills that make you irreplaceable - How to think differently about spending and saving in today’s economy - Why now is the time to take control of your financial future This episode is your wake-up call to stop coasting and start making strategic decisions about your life. It’s not about fear, but about preparation. The future is coming whether you’re ready or not, and today’s the day to decide where you fit into it. Max out your life!

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
