Sex and the City wasn't just a TV show and a couple of movies, it was a movement. A movement of female empowerment, of breaking through a host of outdated, societal and patriarchal barriers, as well as unrealistic expectations and restrictions that have been placed upon women for centuries.

In their own individual and unique ways, each of the four women pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a woman in a man's world while still holding true to their authenticity.

Through each one of their trials and triumphs, and how they handled certain situations, the women taught us how to navigate our way through life's never-ending tribulations in a way that no other show did at the time.

From the show, the movies and each of the women, there's something we as females can learn, especially regarding the characters displays of divine feminine power, but none more so than Charlotte York.

Every inch of Charlotte embodied a woman standing in her true feminine energy. She was stylish, cultured, educated, and above all, she was kind, all traits of an elegant and sophisticated, feminine woman.

While Charlotte did hold a lot of traditional values when it came to marriage and running a household, she also held a very balanced view of her friends choices and supported each one of them showing just how open minded she was.

Plus, let's not forget that before her first marriage to Trey, Charlotte lived independently, supporting herself financially.

Charlotte wasn't afraid to chase her dreams, she knew what she wanted out of life and persisted in pursuing those dreams, especially regarding marriage and becoming a mother.

When it became obvious to Charlotte that her marriage to Trey wasn't working, she wasn't afraid to walk away. She confidently knew and understood her worth, holding steadfastly to her high sense of self-esteem.

In our modern age most women don't need a man in their life, but in an era of high rising feminism and liberated, career driven females, Charlotte wasn't afraid to admit she wanted a man in her life.

And while many might scoff at Charlotte's long checklist of very specific details and attributes she was looking for in a potential partner, others might say she was simply displaying the very traits of a high calibre woman who wasn't willing to settle for less than she deserved. Charlotte knew what she brought to the table in regards to a relationship and she wanted someone who could match her efforts.

Charlotte might have had a strong desire for marriage and raising a family, but she also had standards and she wasn't willing to compromise on them just for the sake of being in a relationship. She wanted a loving, supportive partner by her side who wanted the same things she did. Ultimately, she was looking for a partner who was a strong provider (but that didn't mean she couldn't provide for herself) and a man who would make a good father for her potential children, and eventually she found that in Harry.

Of course, at times Charlotte grew impatient while waiting for her perfect partner to show up. But she turned to her friends for support and focused on herself instead of settling for just anyone that would show her the slightest bit of attention.

And even when Charlotte did gain attention from men she wasn't interested in, she remained classy, elegant yet firm while rejecting their advances, choosing to let them down in a kind and ladylike manner.

In the second movie, and after Charlotte became a mother, she also wasn't afraid to admit to her friends that she was struggling with motherhood. Eventually, after discussing her struggles with Miranda, Charlotte decided she needed some time to herself each week in order to show up as the best mother she could. She leaned on her nanny and Harry more, and was able to sneak off to Carrie's old apartment for a little respite, proving that there's no shame in asking for help every now and then.

So, what can we learn from watching Charlotte stand in her feminine energy?

● Showing vulnerability doesn't make you weak, it makes you human and allows for stronger connections to be made.

● Be clear on what you want out of life and don't be scared to go after your dreams.

● Set standards for yourself, and the people you surround yourself with in regards to how you expect them to behave around you, and to you.

● Don't settle for less than you deserve just for the sake of being in a relationship.

● Take care of yourself financially, physically and mentally. People are bonuses in our lives, they're not there to fulfil our needs or our happiness. That's up to us to fulfil ourselves.

● Don't be judgemental of yourself, or others.

● Be kind. Always.

The list of reasons as to why Charlotte York was the prime example of a woman standing firm in her feminine energy could go on forever, but for the sake of this post, and my lunch that is ready and waiting to be eaten, I will leave it here for now.

But, if you want to see for yourself the traits of a highly feminine woman living in her feminine power, then you can watch all 6 seasons of Sex and the City on Now TV, in the UK.
