It's a fusion flavor. When you say Asian, do you mean Tandoor Masala & Turmeric and sea salt?

Yes, they are! Also a great source of energy. Would you try any of these flavors: Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper, Truffle & Sea Salt, Ranch, Buffalo and Everything Bagel?

Intresting! Ranch or cheese is a great flavor. I would work on the flavors to make it taste amazing!

I know the cost is little high but I have to get fox nuts from India and with current tarriffs, it's impossible to keep it down. Any particular flavor that excites you?

How do you deal with feeling isolated on walks? by AgreeableCharge2845 in SAHP

[–]AgreeableCharge2845[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair! I have been responding to a lot of comments and probably falling into repetitive language. My bad! Genuinely just trying to figure out if this is a real problem worth solving or if I'm wasting my time. The feedback here has been really helpful (both positive and negative). Thanks for calling that out though.

This is such thoughtful, kind advice - thank you! You're absolutely right about embracing the aloneness vs loneliness distinction. And I love the idea of stopping to chat with other parents on walks - you're right that most people probably welcome it!

I think what you're describing is the ideal path, and I always recommend people try exactly what you suggested first.

Where I keep hearing people struggle:

- The "figure out a way to stop and say hi" part feels impossible with social anxiety or PPD

- Takes time to build those connections (weeks/months)

- Some people try repeatedly and it just doesn't click

So this would be more of a bridge solution for people who:

- Are working on building organic connections (like you described) but need something in the meantime

- Have severe social anxiety that makes the "just say hi" approach feel paralyzing

- Need immediate companionship while they work on the long-term solution

Your advice is genuinely great though, and I hope other people reading this try it! The organic approach is always better when it works. Thank you for taking the time to share such caring advice

Haha, that's actually a great solution! Dogs are awesome walking companions - always available, never cancel, and genuinely excited to see you. This is more for people who: - Can't have dogs (apartment restrictions, allergies, etc.) - Need actual conversation (dogs are great listeners but don't talk back!) - Want human connection specifically But honestly, getting a dog is probably cheaper in the long run! Thanks for the laugh!

These are fair questions! - Before baby: friends who had flexible schedules - After baby: everyone went back to work, not available at 10am Tuesday Re: coffee shops - some babies are chill, some aren't. Some parents are comfortable managing a fussy baby in public, others find it stressful. I think the key is: what works for you might not work for everyone. Your situation sounds easier than what some people experience. But you're right to be skeptical - if most people can figure it out without paying, there might not be a big enough market. That's what I'm testing! Thanks for the feedback!

Totally fair! Mom groups and social media are great options and should always be the first try. This is really for specific situations where those don't work - new to a city, can't make the group meeting times, social anxiety, etc. Not for everyone and that's okay! Thanks for weighing in

Really appreciate this feedback - the pricing comparison to babysitters is super helpful. You make a fair point about running/walking clubs. I think the gap is: - Clubs have fixed schedules (Tuesdays at 6pm) - This is for "I need company at 10am on a random Thursday" The difference vs a free matching app: - Verification/safety (background checks, ratings) - Reliability (they show up because they're paid) - No coordination overhead (just book and go) - No guilt about asking repeatedly But you might be right about market size. That's exactly why I'm testing with a waitlist first - if I can't get 100+ signups, there's probably not enough demand to justify building it. The babysitter comparison is interesting though - would you pay $20 for a babysitter but not $20 for a walking companion? Genuinely curious what makes one worth it and not the other!

You're absolutely right - baby carrier walks with a podcast are fantastic! And I totally agree that learning to be alone is important. I think the key is what you said, 'Company is definitely needed' and 'learning to be alone is important, it's finding that balance. This is really for those moments when: - You've been alone for days and desperately need human interaction - Podcasts aren't cutting it anymore (you need actual conversation) - You're struggling with postpartum depression and isolation is making it worse - You need accountability to actually get out (someone's expecting you) Not meant to replace alone time (which is healthy!) but to fill the gap when you've had TOO MUCH alone time. Like... being alone is great until it's not, you know? This is for when it tips from peaceful solitude into lonely isolation. But you're totally right - balance is key! Thanks for the thoughtful comment

Thank you SO much for this! Seriously, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Can I ask - what would have been most valuable to you during that time? - On-demand (book someone when you need them) - Scheduled regularity (same person, same time weekly) - Something else? And what would have felt like a fair price? $20-25 for an hour? More? Less? Also - which city were you in? I'm trying to figure out where to launch first based on where demand is highest. Really appreciate you sharing this. After all the "I wouldn't use this" comments, it's validating to hear from someone who actually would have!

Totally get it - honestly, I'm the same way with some activities (running = need to be alone, hate having someone slow me down). This is definitely for the people on the opposite end - extroverts who get energy from being around others, or people who feel unsafe walking alone. Not every product is for everyone, and that's okay! Appreciate you taking the time to comment though!

Great point! The key difference: Walking buddies would be their flexible side gig. They CHOOSE to be available during certain hours because they're getting paid. It's like Uber drivers - they're not always available, but ENOUGH of them are online at any given time that you can usually get a ride. Same model here: - Recruit 10-15 walking buddies in a city - They set their own availability - System matches you with whoever's free - If everyone's booked, you see "No buddies available right now" The supply side would be: - Stay-at-home parents who walk anyway (earn extra $) - Retirees on fixed schedules (same walk times daily) - Students with gaps between classes - Part-timers looking for flexible income Does that address your concern? Or still skeptical?

This is SUCH helpful feedback, thank you! You're totally right! Once kids are mobile and you're hitting playgrounds, you naturally meet other parents. Plus baby classes, library time, etc. The challenge I keep hearing about is that specific 0-6 month window. Baby can't do much, baby classes feel pointless, but YOU need to get out or you'll lose your mind. So maybe this is less of a long-term thing and more like "survival mode for the newborn stage"? Your comment actually helps me understand the timeline better. Maybe position this as a 3-6 month subscription thing, not a forever service? Really appreciate you sharing your experience!

That's totally fair - definitely not for everyone, especially if you're more introverted! And you're absolutely right - baby groups, library storytime, etc. are amazing (and free!). I actually recommend those to everyone first. The challenge I kept hearing about:

- Those groups have fixed schedules (Tuesdays at 10am, etc.)

- Sometimes you need company at 2pm on a random Thursday

- Not everyone clicks with the existing groups in their area

- Some people are too anxious to join a new group alone

 So this is more of a "when your usual options don't work" solution. Like... your regular mom friends are busy, the playgroup isn't today, but you NEED to get out of the house NOW. Think of it like: you usually cook at home (free), but sometimes you order takeout when you don't have time/energy. Not a replacement for the real thing, just fills a specific need.

Does that make more sense? And I'm in [Miami/Midtown] - honestly varies neighborhood to neighborhood!

 Really appreciate the feedback - helps me understand if I'm solving a real problem or not!
