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.Find Minaa B:📖 Owning Our Struggles — available wherever books are sold🎙️ This Feels Familiar — on all podcast platforms📩 Substack: All the Hard Things📱 @minaa_b on Instagram
