How my people talk
If you’ve been here for a while, you already know that Nora in New York has never been only about healthcare. Yes, I’m a healthcare visionary, psychologist, researcher, and professional overthinker of the future, but I’m also Hungarian – very Hungarian -who somehow ended up building a life in New York. Hungary has always found its way […]
Monthly reset and reflection with Nora and Eliott 🐾September
This month felt like five months somehow. It started with me trying mini golf at Puttery, which, for the record, I was spectacularly bad at in the beginning- like, embarrassingly bad- and then something clicked. I got weirdly into it, and by the end I somehow made the last two holes on my first try. […]
Monthly reset & reflection with Nora and Eliott – August
One minute, it’s still summer, long evenings, sweaty walks, iced coffee, the vague illusion that there is plenty of time left, and then suddenly, you look up, and September is standing at the door. I’m not entirely sure where my August went. Actually, that’s not true; I know exactly where it went. It went into […]
41 things I learned about life
Today I turned 41, so I’m writing from the middle of a midlife crisis:-D The past year has been one of the hardest of my life. I lost my beloved dog, had to escape and move quickly, ended up living in a place that has never really felt like home, lost faith in a friendship […]
Would you chase the miraculous stag?
Dear Hungary, Tonight you celebrate your birthday; you turn a thousand and twenty-six years old. Fireworks bloom over the Danube, bells echo from St. Stephen’s Basilica, and families break the first bread of the harvest. I can almost smell the warm crust; I can almost hear the crowd gathering along the riverbanks, even though I’m […]
Stillness in Motion- A New York Antidote
New York shows us to stay quick. Catch the train, reply to the email, make the plan, and keep moving. Amidst all that activity, it can surprisingly become effortless to lose track of where we are, not just in the city, but in our own lives. Stillness in Motion is an intimate creative evening designed […]
Monthly Reset and Reflection with Nora and Eliott -July
Every month leaves some stories behind. July began with CarGuy driving for eight hours to New York. He entered my apartment, sat briefly for about five minutes, had one beer and his usual allergic reaction to something – I started to believe it’s NYC itself- looked around, and said: “Maybe we should just start driving […]
Lessons From the Wisest Planet We Know
What forests, oceans, and animals can teach us about the future of health Our planet is home to trees that communicate danger to each other via secret underground networks. We live on a planet where octopuses drift into dream-like sleep, while elephants revisit the bones of their loved ones and soothe distressed friends by lightly […]
Do It for the Women Who Couldn’t
If you’ve ever grieved people who are still alive, this story might feel familiar. Before I did it, I thought that moving abroad was mainly about learning about a new country. It turns out it was more about unlearning people. Nobody tells you that one of the hardest parts isn’t the paperwork, the language, the […]
Borrowing a normal life
My Oura ring is finally pleased with me — it has three more days to stay happy. If you’ve been here for a while, you already know I don’t struggle with productivity. If anything, I struggle with the opposite. I have a nearly obsessive relationship with purpose. When I focus on a mission, I find […]
