Carolyn Steber

Carolyn is the lifestyle and wellness writer at Bustle, where she’s been on staff since 2015. Her articles span the genres of dating, astrology, friendship, health — and everything in between.

When she isn’t busy deep-diving into the latest TikTok trend, she’s likely writing about a wellness hack or reading your tarot cards for the week ahead. Carolyn also covers feature stories, women’s sports, and celebrity interviews.

After interning at Health magazine, she graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Journalism & Professional Writing. She also studied at Muhlenberg College where she majored in English and psychology.

In her spare time, Carolyn likes to trek around the city with her dog, pop into yoga classes, and perform on stage with her improv team.
