Feel so stupid most of the time on the meetings. That I stop paying attention and think about how stupid I am. 😓 which doesn't make it any better? Any techniques to make myself think faster/focused?

Don’t try so hard. Most common pitfall in communication is thinking about what to say next. Instead listen. You’re smart - good ideas will pop in your head.

You are as smart as anyone there. Just need some experience

1) Stop being so self conscious. Your team thinks you can handle this job so you most likely can. Focus on that and don't distract yourself with self doubt.

2) Junior people have a hard time understanding where the conversation is going when they are focusing too hard on capturing verbatim notes. If you're doing that, don't. Instead, listen, and only type out a few words that capture the point being made, and only when it's actually relevant. This takes practice, but it's easy to practice at every meeting. Pencil and paper is a helpful technique because you generally can't write as fast as you can type so it forces you to summarize.

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant.

We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
