Carrie On! - Season 2, Episode 17
Watch this episode HERE.
What does love actually look like after 40, after divorce, after decades of putting everyone else first? Carrie sits down with Dr. Wendy Walsh — psychology professor at Cal State, Emmy-nominated co-host of The Doctors, and CNN relationship commentator — for one of the most honest, funny, and science-backed conversations about love, dating, and intimacy you'll hear this year.
Dr. Wendy spent 20 years as a single mother before finding love on the apps in her 50s — following her own advice. Now happily married to Julio, she's here to share exactly what worked.

Fire Quote: "There is this myth in our culture that we will meet a soulmate somewhere in our twenties and be happily married until death do us part. In fact, that is the most atypical form of human pair bonding that exists on the planet." — Dr. Wendy Walsh
