Life Just Outside NYC
Get Lost in New Jersey!
“Lost in Jersey” is a podcast co-hosted by Rachel and Janette about the perks and quirks of life in New Jersey!
After moving to New Jersey from NYC due to their growing families outgrowing their shoebox-sized apartments, they initially felt lost but soon discovered that New Jersey is an incredible place. They set out to spread the word podcast-style.
Join them as they talk with intriguing people connected to or visiting New Jersey. Meet entrepreneurs, writers, artists, actors, activists, politicians, journalists, climate experts, farmers, doctors, musicians, animal rescuers, and that famous person next door or passing through. Learn their backstory and what they are up to now.
Tune in to be inspired, entertained, and informed on topics as diverse as New Jersey. The podcast covers family, careers, life challenges, mentoring, entrepreneurs, health, fitness, growth, challenges, and change, as well as New Jersey’s best restaurants, news, events, and real estate, and what they’re reading and watching in the suburbs of NYC. Tune in and have fun getting lost in New Jersey.

Listened to every episode of Lost in Jersey
We were driving back from Vermont today and listened to every episode of lost in jersey. Rob described it as an introvert’s dream – it’s like being at a fascinating dinner party. Congrats to you, Rachel, and all your guests. 😘 👏
I meant to tell you...
I thought the funniest thing you said was that you time how long it takes you to get home from the city, let people know, and that you are in your jammies. I truly laughed out loud on that one. It is hard to believe this is your first podcast. Stay the same, don’t change.
What a great idea!
Okay, what do I have to do to be a guest on this? What a great idea! – Julie
Just spent my morning listening!

Whoa! Ladies! Just finished listening to your first episode and I am blown away! I giggled with you, I learned so much and it was really fun. Great interview with Chanda and great voices all around! Everyone needs to hop on and listen! – Liz
