What habit(s) did you pick up during the pandemic that became a major lifestyle change?

For me, I went completely digital. I never went back to paper planners and to-do lists. Sometimes, I miss paper, but at this point, I can't go back. Another lifestyle change I made was online grocery shopping. I have no desire to walk around a grocery store again😄.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Whenever I have to put slides together, I doubt myself a million times and it takes too long to make a single slide. I know I have Impostor Syndrome and depression, and the longer it takes to put a slide together, the harder it is to get it done.

Thanks, in advance 🙏🏻

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer?

It has become quite the burden.
