Building your life after college is an emotional game of "choose your own adventure." Our listener is just about to graduate, and while her dream has been to live in New York City and pursue a career in fashion journalism, her family just bought a home far away from Manhattan. She's faced with a choice: Stay with her family and find a remote job or spread her wings and leave home to live the city life she's always dreamed of.

Our guest Caroline Vazzana is a fashion editor, stylist, and the author of "Making it in Manhattan,” which you can purchase here. Her website, a space dedicated to sharing her journey, career advice, and eclectic style, is also titled Making it in Manhattan.” You can listen to her podcast here.
