Summary

Episode 204: This week, Nat’s chatting with you live on video from Raleigh, NC! For her first ever video recording, she’s diving into a frequent question found in her DMs and a niche topic she knows she may receive some heat for—her opinion on living in major, sought-after cities in the U.S. As someone who has lived in hotspots like Charlotte, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, Nat has personal insight on the great and not-so-great qualities of each destination, and she’s getting real (reel) about them all. Like why she’ll never call L.A. home, the shockingly hot food scene in Charlotte, her overall obsession with NYC, and the quality of life she’s found for herself in Miami. Tune in and join Nat on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, because, who knows, maybe you’ll even be inspired to make your next move. Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!
