Episode notes

NY Times best-selling author Candace Bushnell, AKA the real-life Carrie Bradshaw, joins Lo on the mic in this episode to talk about career, dating apps, and pandemic relationships. Candace has written over 10 novels with millions of readers enjoying her stories for the last 20 years. From Lipstick Jungle to creating Sex and the City, Candace has paved the way for women’s voices to be heard and their stories to be told. She now plays the role of matchmaker as she helps her friends date by setting them up on Match. I mean, who better than Candace to help you find your next match? Candace is giving Lo advice on navigating the lows of your career, dealing with rejection, and finding the perfect first date attire. And, of course, she's answering Lo’s famous round of rapid-fire questions.

It’s not easy to date during a pandemic, and Candace is sharing why online dating is the new way to go and what trends she’s seeing on the apps, including one that might not quite be catfishing but definitely bends the truth. While she’s currently taking a break from the dating scene, she loves to help others find their person, and explains why she decided to team up with Match after her one-woman Off Broadway show. Lo also opens up about his current thoughts and feelings on the dating world, including why nowadays he’s getting all riled up just going to Chili’s... how things have changed. Whether you’re a Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha, you’re going to love this episode.
