New York Transplants

Join Dr. Emily Matheson, a New York transplant from Australia, as she connects with fellow transplants to explore how to find connection and community in the city that never sleeps. With her PhD in Clinical Psychology, Emily skips the textbook talk and dives into the real, gritty truths of how visiting and living in New York are worlds apart—and how you can feel both invincible and invisible in this beautifully chaotic city. Tune in as she asks other transplants for advice on how she (and you) can better connect with the New York community.
