D2 right there with you! My years to turn 60 and I am working on getting back in shape

I'm still in consulting but stopped traveling at 48. I was a road warrior for more than 20 years. It ruined my back and I have been over weight for about 15 years now. Its very difficult to stay healthy on the road.

21 years of traveling. No health issues (disciplined about eating and exercising) but slowly losing hearing certain frequencies because of airplane travel

What?

I am 60 now. Still in Consulting but not traveling as much over the last year. No, I don’t think it has negatively impacted my health.

Always packed running shoes for past 20 years...kept me mentally sane, see great cities from outside a taxi, and shakes off last nights client dinner :-) It’s defo a “cost” I tell the youngers to take care and see me in the lobby at 0600! Getting enough good quality sleep with a peaceful mind is equally important (it was too many years before I realised I was “good enough” and that it would never be as bad as I imagined the night before).

Hi all! I recently finished my Masters in Biology. I worked on a few studies with human subjects as well as animal work. I am hoping to get a job in clinical research as either a CRC or CRA. I previously worked at a doctors office as a care manager for 4 years, but outside of my academic work I don’t have experience in research. What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?
Thanks!!

Looking for some advice. I'm 35 turning 36 soon. After 2 months of trying with my husband, I got pregnant. We were so happy until finding out 7 weeks later we miscarried. My doctor is telling me to wait another 6 months and keep trying. Then we would start looking at fertility and going down that route. It has been 2 months and haven't gotten pregnant (after the miscarriage). I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with fertility clinic now versus waiting another 4 months. Any advice for me?

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

I know product sense is needed as PM (i have recruited many PMs in my life) but it felt quite underwhelming to go through an hour of this … the PM was very nice, but couldn’t answer any complicated question either … is this still the norm for senior processes, is it FAANG legacy or just bad luck?
