About this episode

Emily Abbate discusses the importance of self-acceptance and gratitude while answering a listener's question about moving to New York City.

Yesterday I got to sit down with the "Quad God", Ilia Malinin. Reflecting on that event—and a specific question about whether or not I have a manager—led me down a path of gratitude for the "hustle" and the career I've built by simply putting myself out there and treating people well. I’m diving deep into why we need to stop the comparison trap and start giving ourselves more credit for how far we’ve come. Plus, I answer a listener question from Tara, who is trading the Philadelphia for the Big Apple and needs the scoop on the best neighborhoods for safety and transit.
