My husband and I are thinking about getting pregnant next year, but so much of the birth process scares me because of how high our mortality rate is. Would you ever consider working with a doula or a midwife, or even having a nonhospital birth? I'm researching everything I can right now so if you've done this or think it's a bad idea, let me know why.

What did you all think of that case where a woman who told her team she was taking a day off to take care of her mental health who had a supportive boss and everyone cheered them?

Is your blood pressure and anxiety rocketing or are you normal?

Brb, still busy refreshing emails

Do IPG and Omnicom still have the in-office vaccine mandates that they instituted last year, or have they repealed them?

I don’t understand protesting during a pandemic. I haven’t gotten Covid and to me it’s not worth the risk.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Probably asked before many times, but couldn’t find the thread....what’s a good health insurance for older visiting parents?

I am in a period of growth in my role (in house and getting more exposure to top management) - im grateful for it but I also have constant anxiety during and after work hours. Does anyone who’s been in a similar position have tips for riding this wave? Hoping it’ll get easier.

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?

Any nyc therapist recs? Someone GOOD, open to any price range

How did you cope with post-grad depression? I feel like my life has stalled a bit.

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

Any recommendations for personal trainers in Atlanta? How much do people typically pay per session/month?

Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)

Just did sit ups. Walked into the bathroom to check, still nothing 😐

How often and how do you exercise?

I run 4x4 intervals on a treadmill every 2-3 days, and pushups/hangups/crunches about the same, but somewhat more infrequently. Great exercises to do with little time. In winter I go XC skiing upstate at our cabin every two weekends or so.

🐠 in Maui. I’m planning to visit in about 2-3 weeks. Wanted to see if you think it’s worth postponing given the big storm that just passed by. Or was the impact relatively minor? Hope all is well 🙏

What challenges have you all faced in light of COVID and how have you adapted models/forecasts?

I joined my current company 3 months ago when I suffered from depression, but I didn't tell the recruiter or anyone. Now I feel I'm really not able to contribute 100% in my current role, but I don't want to share my depression with my employer. I still need the $. Suggestion please?

Good places to go in December? I was thinking Portugal - but heard it gets cold cold. Any other recommendations?

Has Bain started taking from tier 2 colleges as well? I could see lots of posts for hiring by consultants with no post saying criteria of college! I wonder what is up with that! As far as I know they dont take from any college apart from Top 5-6.

Macro tracking & body building experts - what should my macros & calorie count be if I want to lost 10-15 lbs? I'm 142 (due to stress and hormonal changes).

Used to be around 23 BMI and 18% fat pre-pandemic in 2019.

I tried the macro calculators but I'm getting mixed guidance
