Big City Dreams Call Marketing Pro Back to NYC
Following her heart to Denver, Colorado, for love, a New York City restaurant marketing professional realized her true passion remained in the Big Apple. After a year of soul-searching, she’s returning to the city that never sleeps, prioritizing her career and staying true to herself.
When her then-boyfriend landed his dream job in Denver, the couple embarked on a new chapter, though she admits to initial hesitation. Having spent seven years building a thriving career in NYC, she was immersed in a vibrant culinary scene, collaborating with renowned chefs and launching successful brands. Despite the cross-country move for their burgeoning relationship, the allure of New York City remained strong.
Initially optimistic about recreating her fast-paced life in Denver, the reality proved challenging. Quitting her job to freelance, she soon discovered a stark contrast between the bustling city life she craved and the slower pace of Colorado.
While she appreciated the natural beauty and developed new routines, a sense of professional unfulfillment lingered. Exploring Denver’s food scene and even trying a new career path couldn’t replicate the energy and inspiration she found in New York’s restaurant marketing world.
Ultimately, she realized a piece of her remained in NYC. After heartfelt discussions with her supportive husband, she’s decided to return this summer, re-immersing herself in the city’s dynamic culinary landscape.
Though they’ll be temporarily separated, the couple plans to reunite every three weeks while they navigate this new phase of their relationship. She expressed excitement about reigniting her career and embracing the creative challenges that fuel her passion, while her husband remains in Denver.
This unconventional arrangement underscores their commitment to both individual aspirations and their shared future, with hopes of eventually building a life together in New York City.
