In this episode we process the pros and cons of living in NYC and how to sort through making the decision of staying or choosing to leave and raise your kids elsewhere. Pull up a chair and join us as we externally process together this complicated not clear cut issue. Our hope is that, if you are struggling with this, you will feel less alone, know that there is no shame in leaving and being in a season of "I don't know" is okay.

We sat down with Dr. Amber Field to discuss ways to practically serve NYC's homeless population. Her ministry, Ready to Give, is not only tackling the task of reaching those in need immediately but she's using her robust educational background to TEACH New Yorkers how they should be thinking about their neighbors in need and ways that they can help immediately.

Learn how two NYC moms decided to start a Podcast all about raising kids in NYC.

Raising New Yorkers is a podcast and community that equips moms to raise kids in a city that's next level hard: from cost of living, education, transportation, and work life balance. Through first hand experiences and interviews, Moms will get to hang with us while we seek the good of the city and foster that in our children.
