How to Carrie On: A New Web Series on Activism, Midlife, and the Power of Storytelling

Created by Carrie Murray, the new series explores what it means to amplify voices, navigate darkness, and use story as a catalyst for social change
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / In a time of uncertainty, storytelling becomes a lifeline. It connects us to not only the truth, but to each other. It gives us hope in a time when the world feels heavy and uncertain. Inspired by the legacy of those who spoke out when silence was easier, Carrie On! With Carrie Murray explores how personal narrative can spark collective action.
For Carrie Murray, what started off as dinner parties with fellow frustrated entrepreneurs quickly turned into a thriving network of women committed to rewriting the rules of business and life. After a decade of connecting thousands of women in business and stimulating over $ 2.5 million in funding through the Bra Network, Carrie is turning the spotlight on a new project: Carrie On. Carrie's new web series invites intergenerational conversations that span career, identity, resilience, and liberation. She's not asking for a seat at the table; she's setting her own.
As the host and creator of Carrie On!, a bold web series and podcast that hands the mic to voices rich with unfiltered wisdom, wit, rage, reinvention, and joy, Carrie makes sure that Carrie On! doesn't just tell stories, but that it reminds us we're not alone. The show is made for anyone on the edge of transformation: Gen Xers in their reinvention era, millennials holding it all together, and even younger listeners who've been forced to grow up fast.

Carrie On! is a movement. Produced by Rolling Water Entertainment, LLC in partnership with BRA Media under the BRA Network, Carrie On! amplifies the voices of women who refuse to be ignored.
Born from Carrie's disappointment by the complacency of some women, yet deeply inspired and energized by those who are rising up, Carrie On! is Carrie's way of bringing together two of her greatest passions: fearless entrepreneurship and bold, disruptive women sharing their truths. This is a space for women 40+ to have the tough, necessary conversations and shine a light on what we need right now.
The 2024 election made one thing painfully clear: marginalized voices are under attack. Government policies are muting dissent, and without relentless advocacy, our democracy and fundamental rights are at risk.
Carrie On! is a stand, a space for women to show up, speak out, share their talents, and get unapologetically real. Because they refuse to be muted.

Carrie Murray is a founder, speaker, author, and unapologetic amplifier of those often pushed to the edges. She is the founder of BRA - Business Relationship Alliance - a community built to connect and elevate female and non-binary entrepreneurs through visibility, collaboration, and real, lasting support.
With a background in social justice, education, and entrepreneurship, Carrie brings a lived understanding of what it means to build something meaningful while balancing real life. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, later becoming a teacher, school principal, and founder of a school for twice-exceptional students. Her leap into entrepreneurship was born out of necessity, curiosity, and community, and she's been building bridges for others ever since.
In a culture that's constantly telling women to shrink, Carrie On! invites you to expand. This is the show for those done being defined by what they lack and ready to be seen for what they are: brilliant, brave, and fully here.

‘And Just Like That ...' to end after third season

And just like that, a universe of fun, friendship and fashion is coming to an end. Michael Patrick King, showrunner of the 'Sex and the City' sequel 'And Just Like That ...,' announced on Instagram that the series will end after the third season concludes. Fans have a two-part finale to savor later this month. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years,' he wrote. King said he decided to wrap things up while writing the season's final episode. He then split the finale into two episodes. The last episode will drop Aug. 14. In a long, heartfelt Instagram post of her own, Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the iconic Carrie Bradshaw character in both series, called the sequel 'all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent.' She included a montage of Carrie's fashion and moments. Parker added: 'I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so.' Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon returned for the sequel. Largely absent was Kim Cattrall and her Samantha Jones, though Cattrall did make a brief, uncredited cameo in the Season 2 finale. Samantha's absence was explained as a move to London. Reports of pay and personal disputes bubbled over behind the scenes. The original series ran from 1998 to 2004, taking pop culture by storm with the style and drama of the 30-something friends in New York City. They shopped. They brunched. They dated, leaning on each other as Parker's Carrie, a writer, chronicled it all. The sequel picks up their lives in their mid-50s, to mixed reviews. Carrie became a widow. Nixon's Miranda Hobbes came out as queer. Davis' Charlotte York Goldenblatt copes with husband Harry's prostate cancer diagnosis. Fashion remains ever-present, including all those iconic heels still clacking through New York's brownstone-lined streets. In her farewell post, Parker wrote of her stylish Carrie that she, 'Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City.' She called Carrie 'my professional heartbeat for 27 years.'

Sarah Jessica Parker, ‘And Just Like That' Cast React to Cancellation

Carrie Bradshaw has been a New York City icon for almost 30 years, and now it's time to say goodbye. On the heels of the news that the Sex and the City revival series will end with season 3, Sarah Jessica Parker reacted to And Just Like That...'s cancellation with a bittersweet farewell message on Instagram. And she's not the only cast member mourning the show. Here's what the And Just Like That... cast had to say about the show's cancellation. SJP wasted no time in responding to the cancellation news. She shared a video montage of photos from Sex and the City and And Just Like That... over the years to her Instagram page. The slideshow was accompanied by a Carrie-style voiceover from the actor, who paid tribute to her iconic character. 'She crossed streets, avenues, rubicons, so it seemed,' she wrote in part. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,' her caption continued. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt.' Recognizing that the 'chapter' of And Just Like That... was now over, the actor called the show 'all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us.' She concluded her statement by thanking all the fans, and saying, 'I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we all do.' Actor Mario Cantone, aka Anthony Marentio on AJLT, commented on the post, leaving a string of heart emojis alongside the message. 'It was a beautiful journey,' he wrote. 'Thank you for all of it.' Cynthia Nixon, who starred as Miranda in both the original series and the revival, shared Sarah Jessica's post on her Instagram Stories. She added her own message to the post, thanking SJP and the entire cast and crew 'for the quarter century of memories and friendships.' The other Sex and the City OG, Kristin Davis, reacted by sharing the original statement announcing the show's cancellation on the grid and in her Instagram Story. 'I am profoundly sad,' she wrote. 'I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever.' Kristin's onscreen husband, Evan Handler, also shared the statement on his profile, writing simply, 'And So It Goes.' Meanwhile, Kristin's onscreen daughter, Alexa Swinton (aka Rock), shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram Story, alongside a photo of what looks like almost the entire season 1 cast. 'So beyond lucky for this beautiful group of people to have been in my life for so long,' she wrote. 'This show is built with family and I cannot be more thankful to have been given the opportunity to join it.' She continued with a message to the fans, 'To everyone who watched and loved the show as much as I did, thank you for enjoying Rock and all their journey on screen!!' Another young actor, Alexander Bello, who played Henry Wexley on the series, reflected on his journey with the show. 'I started working on this show as a seventh grader and now as it comes to a close, I'm preparing to go off to college,' he wrote alongside a photo of himself on set. 'And Just Like That has been the biggest gift I could've asked for.' Alexander also shared a photo of his onscreen family, which And Just Like That... star Nicole Ari Parker reposted on her Instagram Story. Nicole, who starred as Lisa (one of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte's new friends introduced in the series), has yet to comment separately. Sarita Choudhury, who also joined the core group as Seema in season 1 of And Just Like That... also has yet to comment. And Just Like That... will end with a two-part series finale, airing Thursday, August 7 and 14.

10 Things I'd Have Liked to See in ‘And Just Like That…' Season 4

Dear And Just Like That…, Even though I haven't loved you the way I loved the old you, I couldn't quit you—there was way too much history between us. Remember the old days, when you were fleet and funny and anticipated trends instead of reflecting them? You still had so much potential: well-honed characterizations by a crack team of seasoned actors, and a budget big enough to spring for both state-of-the-art wardrobes and Patti LuPone. Today brought news that you are sadly leaving us, but I'm not ready to let go just yet. And so, herewith, some what-could-have-been AJLT storylines for Carrie and the gang. As I wrote them, I couldn't help but wonder: Someday, will there be a thing known as a re-reboot? 1. More on menopause I'm not the first person to point out that menopause has been an overlooked topic on AJLT, Charlotte's flash-period mortification notwithstanding (Season 1, 'No Strings Attached'). For starters, another season could have based an episode around one of the leads' experience with the hormone patch; if any of them are having regular sex, then they are probably hiding an estrogen patch somewhere beneath their couture. The SATC franchise has always been centered on women who want to look great, and that's trickier when the grayish residue from the previous week's patch is gunking up your thigh. 2. A word on sex after menopause Another menopause-related opportunity: Without Samantha around to talk about the dreary, diminished-libido aspect of menopause (see Sex and the City 2), one of the last SATC women standing would do it. Just as SATC was partly about having good sex in one's 30s, AJLT would be more about having good sex in one's 50s, or at least trying to. Menopausees will tell you that casual-sex-having late-50-something Miranda is not behaving like a postmenopausal woman—unless her OB-GYN has prescribed her a motherlode of testosterone to shore up her libido. Is that what happened? In Season 4, we'd finally get the episode. 3. An about-face on attractiveness Sure, the female leads feel fabulous, but do they feel beautiful? Perhaps the writers would do something with the girls' undoubtedly mixed feelings about the fact that as they gallivant around New York, they probably don't attract the male gaze the way they used to. AJLT loves a callback, so maybe Miranda would cross paths with another woman-harassing man dressed as a sandwich (SATC, Season 3, 'Running with Scissors'), except that this time, the costumed letch is ignoring her in favor of a younger woman. Surely this would make Miranda feel…something? And say…something? Relatedly: 4. A moment for treatments (or tweakments) Remember when Samantha messed up her face with a chemical peel right before Carrie's book launch (SATC, Season 5, 'Plus One Is the Loneliest Number')? Aging does have a way of prodding people to go to great lengths to recapture their youthfulness, so maybe we'd get some of that. In AJLT's 'Diwali,' Carrie was considering surgical intervention before apparently begging off. Could the writers think of other temptations, some more sketchy-sounding than others? (And you know that I mean vaginal rejuvenation, right?) 5. Marching orders Picture this: an episode that sees the girls fume about the repeal of Roe v. Wade. The five of them—yes, even Seema—get on a bus to DC for a reproductive-rights march. AJLT got Gloria Steinem to do a cameo in Season 2 ('Alive!'); perhaps they'd get her to do another one, with some of her telegenic second-wave friends: Marlo Thomas, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, and so on. Speaking of cameos… 6. A return to Enid In SATC, the intergenerational tension between Candice Bergen's Enid and Carrie was spectacular: funny, squirm-makingly awkward, and truly moving on occasion. There was so much more to be done with the idea that Carrie is now approximately the age that Enid was when Enid considered Carrie a threat (SATC, Season 6, 'Splat!'). I know that Carrie was working on a novel, but wouldn't it be fun if she reversed course, and indeed submitted to working with Enid on a women's magazine for the 50-plus set? The plot, wardrobe, and cameo possibilities would be endless. 7. Justice for Lisa and Seema Yes, Lisa is consumed by her work, but perhaps she'd get to do a bit more with the other four principals—she's been kind of an island on the series. Likewise, Seema—who was just starting to fill the Samantha Jones–shaped void in my life—would get more time with the ensemble. Also, Bianca Jagger would come in to play her cool aunt. 8. Jane and Lily drop by The Golden Girls and Grace and Frankie—two other shows about women squaring off against the march of time—were relatable without ever feeling depressing. Maybe AJLT's writers would bone up on those two series—and even get Jane and Lily for guest arcs. 9. Bringing back Berger If Aidan was fair game, why not Berger? That man had a way with words. 10. Going all-in on Charlotte and Anthony Now, picture this: Charlotte and Anthony, the only two characters from the original series who have continued to engender reliable goodwill among viewers, got their own spin-off…and brought Patti LuPone along with them.
