The Woman Who Created Carrie Bradshaw: Candace Bushnell Gets Real on Booked, Blonde & Busy

Hi angels! This week on Booked, Blonde & Busy, I'm sitting
down with the woman who created Carrie Bradshaw herself...Candace
Bushnell.

We talk about everything from the real stories that inspired Sex
and the City, what New York nightlife was actually like before
social media, dating in your 20s, financial independence, and why
Candace's advice to young women today is to focus on getting the
money.

We also get into BookTok, modern relationships, her one-woman
show, and what it's been like watching a whole new generation
discover Sex and the City nearly 30 years later.

Whether you're a Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha, this
episode is for you.

xoxo,

Olivia
