I’ve got a month before starting in MBB and have already quit my previous job. Any recommendations for a new weight training plan? I go to the gym pretty regularly, but am looking to change things up and maybe crank up intensity while I’ve got a break.

Why not connect with a personal trainer?

I’ve thought about it, I have no experience finding one. Looked online and didn’t find anything that I really liked. It would be cool just to meet up with someone, get a plan, and execute.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?
