Today, Jen and Maddy get real about breaking up with New York City.

Jen (now suburban and serene) and Maddy (still clinging to city chaos) unpack how money, identity, and timing shape the decision to leave ... and what happens when change feels like giving up.

Key Topics:

• When your zip code becomes part of your identity
• How to know it’s time for a change — and what’s really holding you back
• The emotional side of leaving (or staying)
• Finances, FOMO, and finding peace where you are
