I once met a career coach who told me that people need the right environment to be happy and the ability to build the life they want. Are you happy right now? Do you know the type of life you want to have?

Has anyone had issues with ending their orange theory membership? I’ve been trying to do so for about a year now and every time I think it’s settled they send me an email about missed payment.

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Girlfriend is supposed to meet my parents this week for thanksgiving. But today she’s been going through such bad depression, she mentioned “not wanting to be here” over the phone multiple times. She’s been struggling lately. Is it okay for me to say that I don’t want her to meet them unless she’s feeling better. I told her It’s too heavy when she says stuff like that to me and I want to help. Idk what to say to her.

Is anyone trying to improve their mental/overall emotional health but no one close to you is working on themselves the same way? It’s just frustrating bc every time I talk to some friends they still get the same type of judgmental reactions like we used to be like 10 years ago. I’m just trying to live and accept everything but I just don’t feel like they get it.
