Where are you at in your life stage?
Entering into my early 30’s and the most stable I’ve ever been, which is nice and comforting but also a little terrifying. I have a stable job that I enjoy, but am feeling like now is the time to go big on some adventurous dreams before my life circumstances prevent me from doing so.
How's your life?
Life is good. I’m incredibly fortunate to live in a place that allows me to stay active outdoors and with a caring community of friends. My physical and mental health are my greatest wealth that I have the time to tend to daily.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Submerging myself in water whether it be swimming, surfing, diving, or just a quick dip
What is most important to you right now?
Following my hearts true path and desires.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Pretty good! Keep busy enough that I wish for more hours in a day. Left a very stressful job 2 years ago and finally recovered enough. Make enough money and am fine on my career growth. Hardest thing is social life/dating life right now, but have plenty of hobbies to make up for it.
How's your life?
A little chaotic, but being relatively stress free is nice. A little young to be saying this, but I think I accomplished everything I wanted to career wise. A lot of pressure taken off because of that!
What helps you keep your sanity?
I go in spurts of being hyper social to hermit. Plus always having a trip planned out.
What is most important to you right now?
Travel! I used to go on a big trip every two years, but since covid I go every year!
Anything you recently found interesting?
Ive been slowly attacking my stack of books, This is How You Lose the Time War was the best thing I read this year.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’ve lived a lot of life in my short 31 years so far and I’m eager for more! My career is (was?) steady despite a recent layoff. I’m happy with myself, my community, the place I call home. Living in SB is such a privilege and worth every bit of effort it takes to make it work out here.
How's your life?
The last year-ish of life has been my most challenging yet, but I feel more optimistic and genuinely excited about life itself than I have in years. I’m calling this chapter “metamorphic goo” as I shift so many gears at once - it’s been a lot!
I’ve been craving peace for a long while and I finally feel like I have it once more. Life is tumultuous but life is good, really truly actually good.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Solitude, nature, traveling, community, long phone calls, concerts, Disneyland, so many things with some polarizing variances but all in moderation.
What is most important to you right now?
I’ve lost connection to many of my hobbies over the last few years and I’m on a mission to regain what makes me most myself. Hiking, running, going to the movies, baking, art… so many activities! I want to rediscover balance between work and play.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I travel a lot and I fly often. We all know that boarding is tedious and I’ve spent a lot of time wondering, “why isn’t this process more efficient?” Or, “wouldn’t it be better to board from the back of plane to the front?” I did some reading on case studies and such, then I went to the National Museum of Flight in Scotland and it was so damn obvious.
Gravity. Planes are on wheels. Between baggage and fuel and passengers and the plane itself, gravity affects balance of the aircraft. If we loaded all passengers at the back first, the plane would have an incredibly high possibility of tipping backwards because of the uneven weight distribution.
Boarding “first class first” is about leveling weight distribution as much as it’s about maintaining status quo.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I recently turned 41. I feel much younger but doesn't everybody?
How's your life?
Its pretty good overall. I have a super fulfilling job, I have a fulfilling relationship, but I have always struggled with the idea of living well. It was kind of moot in Utah since it was so constraining, but now that we are in California its really coming back to the fore
What helps you keep your sanity?
My work, actually. I adore my job I've gotten incredibly lucky in what I do. But also now that I am in California, the redwoods. The redwoods are my favorite place in the world, by far.
What is most important to you right now?
I think trying to find peace. Trying to live in a way that feels intentionally positive. I've always really wanted to live in a way that felt sustainable and peaceful but I've always struggled to do so, and I really want to work on that.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've been thinking a lot about why I find the Syrian revolution so hopeful.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Pupating? Feeling more and more like a beautiful butterfly.
My family is still a very large part of my daily life, but I'm learning to devote more time to myself and re-discovering my interests and personal life goals.
How's your life?
It has its ups and downs, but these days it's great and just seems to be getting better.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Growth - personal, plants, animals, people. I love growth.
Writing
Photography
Gardening
Walking and sitting in nature
Watching bugs
The love of my family and friends
Friendship with deep connection
Laughter
Irreverence and occasional dark humor

Anything you recently found interesting?
So so many things.
Let me pick one: one of my chickens seems to prefer the company of humans over her flock.
Oh! Also, the praying mantis on my back porch will let me feed it, if I'm careful about how I approach.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Mid 30s in a happy committed relationship just beginning my third career (it was a rough road but I'm glad I'm here now).
How's your life?
Pretty good. I like my home life; I like my work and colleagues; I love where I live. I'm a critical one. I think I'm too critical of my circumstances. Nothing is ever perfect but I'm genuinely happy these days.
Anything you recently found interesting?
My boyfriend and I are all prepped to try to grow mushrooms (the grocery store kind though I fully approve of all mushrooms).

I love your mushroom love inclusivity! I’ve never considered growing my own, but I like the idea! I can also be very critical of myself. I like to think of myself as a recovering perfectionist, as Brene Brown says. Sending you a coffee chat!
