    In this heartfelt episode of The Real Santa Fe Show, the tables are turned as producer (and daughter) Johanna Medina interviews host Bunny Terry about her own journey to The City Different. Bunny shares how a childhood dream led her to take a leap of faith, move to Santa Fe, and build a new life—only to be faced with a shocking stage 4 cancer diagnosis months later.


    With warmth and honesty, Bunny reflects on how Santa Fe’s beauty, community, and compassionate care became central to her healing, and how gratitude transformed her life. Whether you’re curious about Santa Fe’s magic, looking for inspiration to take your own leap, or searching for hope in the face of adversity, Bunny’s story will move you and remind you why Santa Fe is like nowhere else.

    What happens when you sell your restaurant, pack your four kids into an RV, and set off to chase adventure across the country? For Adam and Christy Parent, that bold leap led them straight to Santa Fe, where they discovered a welcoming community, stunning landscapes, and a new way of life.

    In this episode, Bunny Terry sits down with her friends and colleagues Adam and Christy Parent to talk about:

    • How they went from running a bustling coffeehouse in Washington to living on the road for nearly two years
    • The surprising moment Santa Fe stole their hearts (even on a cold, gray March afternoon!)
    • What it’s really like to homeschool, road-school, and reconnect as a family of six while traveling full-time
    • How Christy built 4 Birds Photography from a passion project into a thriving business
    • Why Adam loves helping people find their place in Santa Fe as a Realtor

    This is a story about risk, resilience, and finding home in the most unexpected way. Whether you’re dreaming of Santa Fe or just love a good “how we got here” tale, you won’t want to miss this one.
