Being Your Own Mr. Big, with Candace Bushnell, the Creator of “Sex and the City” and Real-Life Carrie Bradshaw
Superwomen with Rebecca MinkoffAbout this episode
Welcome to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In this four-part series, Candace Bushnell , the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I are going to be chatting about everything from career and adulting to relationships, friendships, and, of course, love (or the struggle to find it) here in New York City. Plus, we’ll have some awesome guests joining us on the podcast. Candace first captured the lives of beautiful, ambitious, single women in the city through her column in the New York Observer , which later became the basis of her bestselling book and hit HBO series. But, before “Sex and the City” became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in modern history, it was simply the reality of Candace and the women around her—navigating life in a city full of all kinds of possibilities. In this episode, Candace dives into the lasting impact of her work, the pains of modern dating, why successful women still struggle to find great men in Manhattan, and what it means to be your own Mr. Big. She also gives us the scoop on who she thinks the Carrie Bradshaw of today is, what series she thinks is the “SATC” for Gen Z, and her upcoming one-woman show, “ True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City .” Magnum Double Raspberry bars are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and fruit lovers this Valentine’s Day!
