Where are you at in your life stage?
I recently moved to Sacramento from Southern California. This is my first time being independent and in a new city without my community. I also recently ended an almost 4 year long relationship, so there’s a lot of new things going on in my life and I want to put myself out there and meet new people.
How's your life?
It’s okay, it’s been busy and stressful. I am excited for this new chapter in my life, but so nervous because I am in a new city without many people I know.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Journaling, and reading mostly. I also am a believer in touching some grass and reconnecting with nature, so I love going on walks and just listening to the sound the trees make.
What is most important to you right now?
Continuing to grow as a person. I am a strong introvert, and it’s difficult to put myself out there, but I want to make new friends out here and experience this city to its fullest potential.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I had to read The Summer I Turned Pretty books for reassurance because I can’t with the show. Team Conrad all the way, and if Jenny changes the ending I will have strong opinions.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am right in the middle, somewhere between professional fulfillment and mid-life crisis. Gathered a baggage of life stories and ideas, grew out of a few things, hasn't grown into others. Prefer to think that I'm still open to everything new and exploring life, but maybe I just can't admit that I don't know where I'm headed.
How's your life?
Life's been pretty good, to the point of almost boring sometimes. I got an interesting job and great family, between which I keep alternating in an endless cycle work-home-work. Probably due to this cycle of life I started questioning what and where am I really in life and where it's all going.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My job and my hobbies are mostly creative, like writing or music, which helps to abstract from reality or create a sense of personal achievement. Kind of hooked on this feeling of 'moving somewhere' with what I am doing. Just recently discovered quite the opposite way - just stopping in the moment and meditating. Trying to balance those two modes now.
What is most important to you right now?
I am trying to provide some stability in life for my family, being a responsible adult etc. and at the same time leave some time for myself to grow and change for better. Trying to get personal space to pursue my own interests.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've recently got back into reading and discovered a whole new fields I want to explore more and discuss: humanistic psychology, systems approach to sociology.
On the lighter side of life - I can talk about music for hours.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Recently divorced from a two decade long relationship, shared time with two elementary school aged children, mid career and not looking for advancement for now.
How's your life?
after some therapy, deep self reflection, and reprioritizing… it’s good. There’s some thoughts about “imposter syndrome” but I really do feel like I’m the happiest I’ve been as an adult.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Getting enough sleep, working out 5-6 times a week, and learning to accept that I can’t control how other people feel/say/do, only how I react to it.
What is most important to you right now?
My kids… always being a better dad by making myself better & happier and rebuilding my relationships with the rest of my family and friends.
Anything you recently found interesting?
There’s always a choice, it’s whether or not you an accept the consequences… and I’m good with the choices that I’ve made. Are you?

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm in my mid-30s and mid-career in academia pondering a career change to try something new. While I feel solidly settled in Sacramento, I've lived in California for 6 years and in some ways, living in this state feels like a bit of a vacation still, which is a pretty special feeling. I bought a house in 2020 because of a change in my housing situation early in the pandemic and not wanting to negotiate COVID boundaries with someone new, I'm surprised to find that I've leaned into the whole domestic situation and fixing things up. I worked hard my first several years here to build a network of friends, and find at this stage in life I'm forming closer friendships based on shared activities, like golfing, paddleboarding, hiking, talking book recs, trivia nights, etc. I'd love to meet more folks who also like to get out and talk over shared hobbies.
How's your life?
I feel pretty fortunate overall. I can get a bit down the rabbit hole of wondering what else is out there to explore like I'm not doing enough, but I have a wonderful relationship with my mother and really close friends, and I really cherish that. The last few years were an unfortunate culmination of grief from the loss of a close family member plus burnout, but I'm coming out of it with slightly tentative excitement for whatever's next. Leaning into all of the fun outdoor stuff to get into in NorCal helps break up feelings of monotony.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I moved out here fresh out of a breakup and not knowing anyone, so I took up boxing. 6 years later and I still find it to be an incredible stress-reliever. That, and I'm an endless hobbyist. I love learning and trying new things.
What is most important to you right now?
I have toyed with the idea of quitting drinking for a while for a variety of reasons, so I'm 12 days sans alcohol and really trying to honor that as hard as it can be in social situations where it feels like you're the only one not partaking. That, and self-compassion. Recovering perfectionist over here.
Anything you recently found interesting?
That setting up drip irrigation is like adult legos, but with tubing and water. There's numerous ways to put it all together, so it’s surprisingly forgiving.

Sacramento can get pretty hot being further inland, however it's been mild so far this Summer. I've been planning to set up drip irrigation for my yard. I'll get around to it at some point.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Currently still exploring who I am. I've established a career, but earlier life experiences made it difficult to create a real sense of self, so where am I at? Privileged to be able to live comfortably while also exploring what it means to be authentically myself.
How's your life?
Good in many ways. A struggle in some ways. Overall I feel lucky to be where I am today - I worked incredibly hard on improving my mental health over the course of my 20s and now feel like I've been in a place the last few years where I can actually explore what it is that I love about existing.
What helps you keep your sanity?
People. Making valuable connections. Laughter. Therapy. Expressing my emotions through music/song/dance. Getting enough sleep.
What is most important to you right now?
Beyond ensuring I can live comfortably, my main focus right now is making lasting friendships. And I think a part of that is exploring what my own interests are.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I learned early in adulthood that the origin of women shaving their body hair off was for reasons totally crummy. I didn't retain the "why". But today, I was reminded of that crummy reason - one of the primary drivers for the push for women to shave their hair was the eugenics movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I'm not a history buff, but I do like to learn about the origin of practices that we have today, the way that our history as humanity has evolved over time, why we say phrases like "jack of all trades but master of none", that kind of stuff. Pretty sure it's evident why my favorite types of books are memoirs - I'm fascinated by the why's of humanity.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm in a phase where I'm reconciling my desires with my reality and deciding what I want my next phase of life to be like. I have a healthy orientation to work and balance it well with my personal life. But what kind of life work will be meaningful going forward? How I do I want this chapter of life to feel? It's exciting to have space and opportunity to think through the big questions.
How's your life?
It's good - peaceful, positive and drama free. I have friends, family and hobbies I enjoy.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Writing - creatively or in a journal, reading, learning something new, walks and laughing with loved ones keeps me sane and balanced. And when I get to travel or go to the coast it helps.
What is most important to you right now?
Loving family relationships, reciprocal and warm friendships, creativity and self-expression, freedom

Where are you at in your life stage?
I spent the last couple of years in what I like to call my "mid-life awakening" and currently am transitioning to v2.0 of myself. Quit corporate America after hitting coastFIRE at 36, to be stay-at-home dog mom / author.
Transitioning from a go-go life to slowing down, and trying to enjoy the small things. I had a demanding job that compensated well but also required a lot of travel. I tried to fill my PTO and time-off with *doing" things - travel/concerts etc and now that I quit (thanks to my husband), want to start *being*, learning to take joy in the slow life of cooking fresh food and walking the dog everyday.
How's your life?
I am incredibly grateful for where I am. Childfree, immigrant, eldest daughter lucky to have a bought a house before the pandemic and happily married to an academic who loves his job. Some days I feel like I am living my dream! Looking for more local, meaningful friendships.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good books, working out, climbing, my husband, caring friends, moving music, therapy, psychology books, learning something new, medicinal plants.
What is most important to you right now?
Writing seriously and fixing my muscle imbalances.
