Where are you at in your life stage?
Creeping up on the big 5-0 and feeling it. Considering what would be my second career pivot but having a hard time with the unknowns. Enjoying the time I have with my kids in the interim. Always low-key interested in new friends and the adventures ahead.
How's your life?
Something about..I can’t complain. I’m a year out from losing my brother and then my mom a few months later. I’m starting to realize how much of that I’m still processing but processing, I am. Doing my best to funnel that energy into making them proud and ensuring my kids always remember the family members that loved them with everything.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Work. Both my 9-5 and the small businesses I operate. Live music. Lots of records. The amazing Caribbean restaurant and bar near my house.
What is most important to you right now?
Being the best dad I can. Doing what I can to protect my kids from the political nastiness that consumes our country. Improving my health and the health of my family. Making new friends when possible.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Well..it’s been 105°-110° for many weeks. So the most interesting thing I’ve encountered recently was an ice bath.

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.
Anything you recently found interesting?
There are no bridges built across the Amazon river despite how long the river runs.

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.

Hope you are getting settled and adapting after your move. I like what you wrote and relate to a lot of it. Would like to connect and meet if interested, although I'm a good 2 hours from Sacramento.

Where are you at in your life stage?
learning how to drive, finally got in the habit of excercising and stretching, started traveling and making memories my childhood self could only daydream of.
How's your life?
I like to spend time with animals and really get to know them as individuals. My two dogs are getting old and I began goldfish keeping two years ago and its going great. Would love to start feeding local wildlife again like our pigeons and squirrels and if im lucky an opossum will visit.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I like to consider myself a regular at a few places... a ramen shop, coffee shop, and a local store.
I've been illustrating for a decade or so and I'm happy I never grew out of the hobby but ideally I will explore new ones too.
What is most important to you right now?
Decorating my new room.

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?
The concept of gender is cultural. Prior to the expansion of western ideologies, there were cultures that didn't have language that differentiated men from women. I like understanding people and our history as humanity. All the interconnectedness is fascinating.

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 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
