And Just Like That: Shoe Shamed, Space Wars & Secrets

A call back to one of SATC's most influential episodes about a woman's right to take up space.

This week on Worth the Weight, we're recapping the latest episode of And Just Like That…, but fair warning — we veer into the real star of the show: Carrie’s shoes. We kick things off with a nod to one of the most iconic Sex and the City episodes, A Woman’s Right to Shoes, and the chaos that followed one woman daring to wear $500 stilettos to a kid-friendly party. (Justice for the stilettos, honestly.)

From there, we dive into Carrie’s new downstairs neighbor, a pipe-smoking author who wants quiet but moves to Manhattan. The episode had me asking hard-hitting questions like: who the hell wears heels in their own home? Why is Carrie shocked that she has a neighbor when she bought the whole building? And why do both she and her new neighbor absolutely suck?

We also talk about Miranda’s baffling transformation into a bumbling roommate, Charlotte keeping a heartbreaking secret, and why destination weddings might just be a quiet cry for fewer guests.

If you’ve ever been shoe-shamed, roommate-shamed, or just need a place to scream “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” at your screen — this one’s for you.

00:00 – 04:00 – Why this episode calls back to A Woman’s Right to Shoes
We break down the original SATC storyline and how it still hits in 2025.

04:01 – 14:00 – Carrie vs. Duncan: The Noisy Neighbor Heels Showdown
Carrie refuses to take off her heels, Duncan wants library silence in NYC, and somehow both of them are insufferable. Also, can we talk about that Tom Hardy–esque gardener?

14:01 – 21:00 – Miranda’s Naked Era (???)
We unpack Miranda’s personality transplant, her naked hallway moment, and why physical comedy isn’t landing the way the writers think it is. Also, what happened to the Miranda who labeled her yogurt?

21:01 – 26:00 – Charlotte’s Secret Struggle
Harry’s prostate cancer diagnosis, Charlotte’s loyalty, and a personal story I share about grief, caregiving, and why we need to stop shielding loved ones from reality.

26:01 – 31:00 – Shoe Shame, Self-Marriage, and Milestone Rage
We go back to Carrie’s iconic self-marriage moment, and why women celebrating their own milestones still makes people clutch their pearls. We also talk about the societal double standards that continue to undervalue women’s achievements unless a man’s involved.

This one’s part nostalgia, part rant, and a whole lot of feminist commentary — exactly how we like it.
