    LA Is a Vibe, But Is It Real? With Aisha Mainwaring — S03E14 | Sex and Another City

    The girls are still in Los Angeles, and this week Isabel is joined by Aisha Mainwaring — founder of Mane Design and Pontoon, and someone who actually grew up in LA — to break down the city's most iconic episode. Are people in LA genuinely happier, or do the optics just look better? We get into VIP after parties, the Playboy Mansion era, fake Fendi bags in the Valley, and why Carrie's bikini wax-fuelled fling was doomed from the start. Also: Charlotte and Trey, and the question of whether you should really marry someone you've never had sex with. Plus — Aisha's honest take on Raya, transactional friendships, and why finding a good guy in LA might require a one-way ticket out.

    You Can't Run From Your Problems: Escape, Avoidance & Trey's Erectile Dysfunction | Ep. 13 ft. Dr. Melissa Richman

    Can you really run from your problems — or do you just bring them with you on the plane? This week I'm joined by Dr. Melissa Richman, psychotherapist and relationship expert based in Los Angeles, to unpack one of the most thematically rich episodes of Season 3. We're talking Trey's psychogenic erectile dysfunction (yes, we go there), why Charlotte's "fix it" energy is its own form of avoidance, and what Carrie's Hollywood escape really reveals about the stories we tell ourselves. We also get into Miranda's mechanical bull moment — was it liberation or performance? Samantha's unexpected shame spiral when her dildo model tries to take things further. And the LA vs. New York vs. Europe question about sex, superficiality, and whether the wellness industrial complex is actually helping anyone. Dr. Richman calls it like it is — and this conversation does not disappoint. What we cover: Trey's erectile dysfunction: why it's psychogenic, not physical, and what nocturnal penile tumescence actually tells usThe Madonna-whore complex, Bunny MacDougall, and why Trey was never really available for marriageCharlotte's avoidance spiral and why fixing everything kept her from facing the rejectionCarrie escaping to LA — the difference between getting perspective and running awayMiranda in LA: performing sexiness vs. actually inhabiting itSamantha's shadow self — what the Met Gala moment reveals about her real relationship with her own sexualityBig as a potential sex addict, and why Carrie kept going backThe LA vs. Europe lens on sex, desire, and how much the wellness culture is smoke and mirrorsPolyamory and open relationships: Dr. Richman's honest (and probably controversial) takeFind Dr. Melissa Richman at richmancare.com or on Instagram @drmelissarichman.

    This week we're covering Season 3, Episode 12 of Sex and the City — the one where Carrie finally tells Aiden about Big. And honestly? It's a lot. I'm joined by Idit Sharoni, licensed marriage and family therapist, founder of Relationship Experts, and host of the podcast Relationships Uncomplicated. Idit specialises in infidelity recovery, and she brings a perspective I genuinely wasn't expecting — because the answer to "should you always tell?" is not what you think it is. We get into: Whether honesty is actually always the best policy in relationshipsWhat it means when your partner has no idea the affair was happening — and what that says about connectionThe difference between "sufferers" and "explorers" after infidelityHow to disclose an affair (and what Carrie absolutely got wrong about timing)Why women who cheat often feel more vindicated than menWhether Carrie ever really had a chance of making it work with AidenWhat wanting to know every detail is really about — and when it hurts more than it helpsWe also cover Miranda's disastrous speed dating lie, Charlotte and Trey's wedding night, and Samantha storming out of Vera Wang.

    Cheating, Shame & the Double Standard Nobody Talks About | Sex and the City S3E11 ft. Minaa B

    Carrie Bradshaw is having an affair. And somehow she's the villain and the victim — often in the same scene. This week I'm joined by Minaa B — licensed therapist and author of Owning Our Struggles — to break down Season 3, Episode 11 of Sex and the City: Running with Scissors. The one where Natasha finds out, a tooth gets chipped, and Carrie delivers the most iconic breakup line in the show's history. We get into the guilt and pleasure duality of affairs, the gendered double standard women face when they cheat, all-or-nothing thinking and why one slip becomes a full spiral, and what Samantha's STI scare reveals about the stories we tell ourselves to feel exempt from consequences. We also talk about how to be a good friend to someone doing something you don't agree with — without shaming them into silence or losing yourself in the process.

    You don't love him. You just want to win. | All or Nothing ft. Dr. Donna Oriowo

    Welcome back to And Just Like That... We Found Therapy. This week Donna Oriowo and I unpack Sex and the City S03E10 All or Nothing. Carrie has Aiden, Big calling from downstairs, and absolutely no self-control. Season three, episode ten — and we are not being gentle about it. This week I'm joined by Dr. Donna Oriowo, licensed sex and relationship therapist and author of Drink Water & Mind Your Business, whose work explores sexual shame, body politics, and what it really takes to reclaim pleasure. We're recapping "All or Nothing" — the episode where Carrie loses Pete the dog, lies to Aidan's face, and somehow still expects us to root for her. Meanwhile Charlotte is negotiating her prenup like it's a sample sale, Samantha is sick with a broken curtain rod and a briefly broken spirit, and Miranda discovers her Chicago office situationship is not as exclusive as she thought. Dr. Donna brings her four types of self-esteem framework to Carrie's chaos, we debate whether Big's "I'll leave my wife" speech was genuine or a performance of epic proportions, and we ask the question nobody wants to answer — does Carrie actually want Aidan, or does she just want to win? This one got real, fast. 🎙️ Guest: Dr. Donna Oriowo 📖 Donna's New Book: Drink Water & Mind Your Business ▶️ Donna's YouTube Channel 📲 IG & TikTok: @Dr.DonnaOriowo 📬 Submit to He's Not Your Mr. Big here 📲 Follow the pod: @wefoundtherapypod on Instagram, TikTok & Substack Thanks for listening.

    What your anxious attachment is costing you | Easy Come, Easy Go ft. Dr. Morgan Anderson

    This week we are unpacking Season 3, Episode 9 of Sex and the City — the one where Carrie cheats on Aidan with Mr. Big — and I am joined by psychologist, attachment theory expert, and host of the Let's Get Vulnerable Podcast, Dr. Morgan Anderson. We get into why Carrie cannot resist Big even when she has everything she says she wants with Aidan, what the affair is actually about (hint: it is not Big), why Miranda's guilt is quietly destroying her own boundaries, what Charlotte's "all righty" engagement reveals about anxious attachment and self-abandonment, and what Samantha's storyline tells us about sexual self-worth and people-pleasing in the bedroom. Dr. Morgan also breaks down the difference between following your heart and following your attachment style, repetition compulsion, the father wound, and why awareness alone is rarely enough to break the pattern. This episode has lived rent free in my head since I first watched it. I think it might do the same to you. 🔗 How to find Dr. Morgan Anderson ​Instagram​Podcast (Let's Get Vulnerable)​YouTube (Dr. Morgan TV)​Attachment Style Quiz​Empowered.Secure.Loved Program​Love Magnet Program Follow the pod on IG/TikTok/YouTube/Substack @wefoundtherapypod I love y'all ❣️
