I’ve been feeling a pull towards NYC for the past 2 years now and have been debating if I should make the move. I mean quite literally right before reading your article, I was thinking about it. I believe this might have been the confirmation I was looking for. Great article as always.
Hi Dasmine! A month later I'm not totally sure where you're at in your process but I do hope you feel peace in whatever decision you made. I believe in signs and if you're looking for someone to tell you to trust yourself....trust yourself. xx
I got my master's degree in sports journalism from a small school in Upstate New York and decided to drive to NYC (not knowing it was a 9-hour drive from the school). The pull that city had on me was jarring. I felt called, and a year later, the signs are coming at me at warp speed, urging me to make the move eventually. And this article, superbly written, may have just been the ultimate catalyst!
Ebbie - love to have a fellow sports journo sister on the substack. NYC genuinely is magnetic and transformative. I'm happy you enjoyed the article and if you do make the move I would love an update!
happens to all of us, Lauren! and I do believe the only way to get past fear is to recognize how powerful it is...but commit to the fact that it isn't as powerful as you
Great article and you definitely made a positive impact living and working in NYC. It’s Mark Messier just to correct you and always appreciate the respect and graciousness to all sports, even the ones you don’t cover. Good luck in the West Coast and make a bigger impact there.

What a journey. What a career. What a dream. What a story! New York, a city for dreamers & dream achievers.💋
thanks so much Sequoia. The most magical place on earth!
Loved this. The perfect catalyst for identifying my own people, cities and habits I’m holding captive out of comfort. (And maybe a little fear)

thank you for reading Nika :)
As a NYer in the middle of transitioning as well, the first segment really resonated it with me! Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm happy to hear that. I hope you're feeling settled amidst this transition and confident that geography doesn't determine who you are xx
