Turning Towns into Movie Sets with Tanya Lashley of 'Meet Me in New Jersey'

What if your neighborhood could become a movie set, your local business a star, and your neighbors the cast? In this episode, Kate sits down with Tanya Lashley – creator and executive producer of Meet Me in New Jersey, a unique series that fuses storytelling and advertising to uplift local communities.

Tanya shares how she left corporate America, taught herself video production, and built a movement that brings residents and businesses together, all while spreading joy, connection, and visibility across neighborhoods.

From her first “fun and fabulous” shoot in Millburn to her plans for national expansion, Tanya gets real about what it takes to bet on yourself, dream big, and create something that truly brings people together. If you need a dose of inspiration, joy, or a push to start your own project — this one's for you.

In the episode:

-How Meet Me in New Jersey blends film and advertising with heart
-Why Tanya believes community is key to successful storytelling
-The importance of being uncomfortable when chasing your dream
-How leaving corporate life led Tanya to discover her true purpose
-What it takes to build something big from scratch
