Can I have some advice on how to lose 4-6 pounds? 

I was in my ideal body weight until the last couple of months when I gained weight (I stopped working out and I was not eating healthy at all). I retook IF, healthy eating & exercise (HIIT mostly) to start off the year - I know 2-3 weeks is nothing but I'm getting frustrated because it's been easier for me to lose weight in the past yet I'm not sure why I see no changes this time. If anything I feel more flabbier and soft.

Does anyone have a therapist they really like ij Illinois that does virtual visits and takes insurance? I’ve found some that are pretty ok for specific issues, but want one who can do “basic maintenance “ on general topics even if there isn’t something terrible happening at that moment. Would be ideal if they understand asian American family dynamics (im second generation indian and dealing with some ongoing family issues I’d like to talk through).

I got turned down for three mid level design positions. I don’t know if it’s because my last position was as an art director and they’re just confused or if I seem not as enthusiastic about the role as I should be but it’s definitely disheartening because I’m unemployed and I need to get back to work. I have since decided to focus more on senior designer and Art Director roles at a higher rate and will go from there.

Hey bowl,

I'm building a sales organization for a SaaS start up from scratch, and I want to encourage a constructive sales environment from the get-go. Things like supportive teamwork, life time deal with value, and similar.

How would you design incentive structures for sales roles that encourage people and teams to support each other while also making sales leading to growing ARR?

What have you experienced that works particularly well? What doesn't?

Over the past five years, I’ve built this niche of ideation/strategy discovery new digital business ideas and turning that idea into a working product. once the product is launched, I help with the commercialization aspect.

during the MVP, I usually lay out the initial specs and write user stories with assistance from a BA.

I am in my early 40's and have about $300K invested and some in cash. I have $70K in credit card debt (no lavish lifestyle, just 2 bouts of unemployment and some major medical expenses, even after insurance).

I live below my means, LCOL city, used car, max my 401K, save my bonuses, etc.

I am going to get a large bonus where after tax, I'll get a couple hundred thousand.

Should I prioritize pay off all credit cards or pay down half/some of the cards and use the rest for a house down payment?

Went to my obgyn and asked about freezing eggs. She said given I’m 31 and having fairly regular periods, no reason to really consider it until I’m closer to 35. Do you recommend getting a second opinion on that advice?

I am planning to change jobs but worried about losing the IVF coverage. I was reading that New Jersey mandates that all insurance providers that cover pregnancy, should provide fertility coverage. Does that mean, we have blanket coverage if we stay in New Jersey. What if the employer is in New York? Looks like NY also have similar mandate. Which one will apply and how?

Anybody interested in casing? BCG interview coming up next week, thanks!

Does anyone know how to successfully transition from academia clinical research into industry clinical operations? I’m currently at a director level of a large research program in academia and oversee operations. Prior to that I was a clinical research coordinator with extensive trial experience from study startup-close out. I’m not sure what level would be a good transition step and open to new roles/opportunities as well.

I want to go to something like AA but I am an atheist who calls myself agnostic because atheism is illogical. I hear AA and AA-like support groups are religionish-oriented. Is there anything else?

Does anyone have experience going to AA while still using Plant assisted therapy such as Kratom and medical cannabis. I don’t wanna lie but I want to be accepted as there are only a few meetings here.

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?

It's that time...🦃

Drop it below! 👇

Hi I feel sad I am becoming addicted to weed, at first I did it to relax, creative inspiration and to handle life hard situations, but I feel that now I just cannot go a day without craving it, I got rid of everything in the past, but when I get anxieties I go out and buy more, living in MI. where is legal is hard to stay away. I’m ready to change, stop smoking and I need help, any advice will be greatly appreciated it. Thanks.

Hi all - I see myself starting to go down a path that I want to avoid. My issue is less frequency of drinking, more that if I’m out 3 drinks turns to 20. I’m not religious and would prefer a moderation program so I don’t lose the occasional glass of wine at dinner. Any recommendations?

Anyone addicted to smoking hookah here? I’ve relapsed recently and had been sober for about 3 years. Looking to hear anyone else’s path to sobriety.

Update: reading “Quit Like a Woman” and loving it! I’m on Chapter 6.

Push for partner or take a few months off and push for sobriety and risk it all?

Just relapsed after several months of sobriety in SA, I don’t feel so bad about it though…

Any tips on how to get motivated to restart working the steps without having to reach the bottom?

Friendly reminder that benzos aren’t substitutes for a night cap.

Starting a new year next as year three clean and sober and now since then I have gotten an apartment, a car, and a job I love, a hobby I enjoy and have grown exponentially! My parents were raging alcoholics and I suffered in silence until college when I was already drinking at sixteen and overseas I started drugs in college! There is a light in the tunnel and self love vs. self loathing is how I treat myself!

Alcohol + SO. I stopped drinking about 3months ago. Was trying to eliminate triggers for a new skin condition (alc/ bad food/airplane air / stress appeared to be triggers). And skin IS better! My BF

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.
