Experience NYC Not Just the Sights with Jennifer Wright

If you've ever wondered what it really looks like to build a life you love in New York City, this episode is for you.

Today, I'm joined by one of my favorite people and favorite tour guide in NYC, Jennifer Wright Tubbs. And if you've ever taken a tour with her, you already know that she doesn't just show you the city, she helps you feel it.

In this conversation, Jen shares her journey from a small town in Iowa to the streets of New York City, and how a simple decision to volunteer in Central Park at 40 turned into a career she genuinely loves. It's honest, encouraging, and such a reminder that it's never too late to pivot, try something new, and build something meaningful.

We talk about:

✨ What it actually takes to move to New York City
✨ Raising kids in NYC and why it might be more life-giving than you think
✨ How Jen turned curiosity into a career through storytelling and tours
✨ Why seeing NYC isn't enough. You have to experience it
✨ Her brand new mini-bus tours

One of my favorite takeaways from this episode:
You can do all the landmarks and still miss New York.
But when you connect the landmark with the local, that's when it clicks.

If you're planning a trip, dreaming about moving here, or just want to fall in love with NYC in a deeper way, this episode is going to give you a fresh perspective.
