Carrie Bradshaw: A Deep Dive Into Her (Mostly Forgotten) Very Beginnings As A Professional Writer – And Why They Matter

While most fans around the world think of Sarah Jessica Parker’s portrayal of Carrie when they think of her as a character, it’s mostly forgotten that AnnaSophia Robb also portrayed Carrie in the prequel series, The Carrie Diaries, which originally aired between 2013 and 2014. It introduced Carrie as a Connecticut teenager with a rebellious kid sister and a harried father, struggling to deal with her mother’s death. Living life as a suburban, Carrie jumped at an opportunity to intern at a Manhattan law firm, where the glamour and the grit of the big city made her feel free and more alive than ever before. Sadly, The Carrie Diaries didn’t get to make much of an impact, and it’s mostly forgotten when discussing anything relating to the Sex And The City world. Here, we break down THIS version of Carrie Bradshaw. We explore her very beginnings as a professional writer and how her personal life affected it. And we explain why this story actually matters, even though most people wouldn’t agree. Let’s discuss…

Mara Baylor: The Real Meaning Behind A Healthy Relationship – And Whether It Takes More Than Love To Make A Marriage Work

In 2019, Sarah Hyland starred and produced the romantic comedy, ‘The Wedding Year, which also starred Tyler James Williams as her love interest, Jake. Hyland played Mara, a woman in her 20’s, living a carefree lifestyle. Mara is cynical about marriage and relationships as a whole, so when she meets Jake while using a dating app to select someone to go on a date with so she can get a free dinner, her entire world is turned upside down as she’s invited to attend a total of 15 weddings in one year. Here, we break down Mara and Jake’s entire relationship from the very beginning to the end to (spoiler alert, when they got back together). We explore why their breakup was the best thing that could ever happen to both of them. And we explain why it takes more than love to make a marriage work…and why it shouldn’t. Let’s discuss…

Carrie Bradshaw: How Her 25+ Year Journey To Finding Love Wasn’t Ever About Finding The Love Of A Romantic Partner – And How She Found The REAL Love She was Looking For In Herself

Carrie Bradshaw was first introduced to us in 1998. She was a writer; a sex columnist. She made a living off of her love life. Any guy she ever dated and/or slept with was sure to have been written about. She had 3 best friends who loved her unconditionally, without judgement or any kind of personal agenda. They were Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. And even though she had people in her life who loved just she was, she was still looking for love; REAL love, as she put it. Without that REAL love, Carrie felt like she had nothing. She was lonely without it. In many ways, she was basing her life’s happiness around her love life and whether or not she had a man in her life. With Carrie’s story (finally) coming to an end on August 14, we all came to realize that her journey wasn’t ever about finding the love she was looking for in a man… but instead herself. Here, we break down exactly how she got to where she is today, starting from when we first met her in 1998, and ending in 2025. We explore both her on-and-off relationships with Big and Aidan. And we explain what her final breakup with Aidan means for her future. Let’s discuss…

Kelsey Parker: A Deep Exploration Of What Women Go Through In The Aftermath Of Widowhood – And Why Women Get Judged More Than Men Do When They Move On With Their Lives

Widowhood is a very complex concept in life that can only be understood and explained by those who’d gone through it. As of late, we see more and more widowed celebrities finding their happy again; particularly female celebrities. These include Amanda Kloots, Michelle Williams, and Kelsey Hardwick (Parker). Kloots was married to Nick Cordero, a Broadway star, between 2017 and 2020. They have a son, Elvis, who was born 9 months before Cordero fell ill and eventually passed away due to Covid-related complications. While Michelle Williams isn’t TECHNICALLY a widow, she did lose the person she initially thought she’d spend the rest of her life with. It was when Health Ledger passed away in 2008 of an accidental drug overdose. Together they had a daughter, Matilda, born in 2005. They were engaged to be married, but broke the engagement of just a few short months before his passing. Hardwick was married to the late Tom Parker until his untimely death of cancer in March 2022. Here, we break down the essence of heartbreak of what women go through in life in the aftermath of their losses through their own individual stories. We explore the hardships of moving on, finding a new path in life, and making room for a new partner. And we explain why women get judged a lot more than men do in the circumstances of widowhood.
