Moving to New York City is often seen as a major step into adulthood—but does it actually make you feel like a grown-up, or just really, really tired? In this episode, we break down what it means to “adult” in one of the most exciting, expensive, and overwhelming cities in the world.
From sky-high rent and chaotic commutes to finding community in a city of millions, my guests Julian, Isaac and I talk about how NYC shapes independence, resilience, and our understanding of adulthood. Is the hustle worth it? Does the city make you feel more capable or defeated? And most importantly—do we see ourselves staying for the long haul?
Join us as we share the highs, the struggles, and the small wins that make city life worth it. If you're figuring out adulthood in NYC or another big city (or are just curious about what it's really like), this episode is for you!
