What happens when discipline, instinct, and lived experience collide? In this episode of Women in Entertainment, Diane Kruger joins us for a thoughtful, deeply honest conversation about the evolution of her artistry and herself.

Isabella also reflects on how different it feels to return to Beetlejuice now, more grounded, more confident, and more aware of the emotional demands of playing Lydia night after night. From mishaps on stage to conserving her voice between shows, she reveals the unseen rituals and resilience that live theater requires.
Looking ahead, Isabella shares her excitement for film and television, her commitment to authenticity in auditions, and the grounding practices helping her navigate rising visibility while still doing her own social media.

Candace Bushnell has spent decades writing women into the center of their own stories—and in this conversation, she brings us back to the electric New York City that inspired it all. From the early days of Sex and the City to the cult-favorite brilliance of Lipstick Jungle, Renee and Joss revisit the impact her work had on their own lives as young women finding their footing in Manhattan. For Candace, the city was once a real-life character: intimate, unpredictable, and endlessly social in a pre-cell-phone era where friendships were lifelines and privacy still existed.
Candace opens up about the real inspirations behind her iconic characters, the friend who became the blueprint for Samantha, and why the original column was never about shock value—it was about power, status, and the reality of dating in New York. She reflects on the cultural shift that made Sex and the City a phenomenon, the Gen X women who embraced singlehood and career ambition, and how today’s hyper-connected world has altered the intimacy that once made the city feel like a private club.
Now, with her one-woman show True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City, Candace steps onto the stage to tell the stories behind the stories—costume changes, real Mr. Big revelations, and all.
