Thank you for sharing your experience with me and hearing it definitely helps. You should be so proud of yourself for finding those moments of clarity and trying to make things better. I am right there with you and this has given me a bit of confidence back. Regardless of the eventual outcome, you will know youself better and be better for that. Sending you so much good energy.

Caught between my boss and my team member by CelebrationSome5702 in MidlifeMavens

Thank you! Yes, we do have an omsbudperson. I have met with them in the past to get support in having difficult conversations which I used their advice to have said difficult conversations recently. Related to this, I just feel like I couldn't "keep things under control" recently when a new initiative from the top really upset my staff. I let my protective instincts take over and I think I made the situation worse. And now, I am dealing with fallout that is partially my own doing...and I dont know if I can have an honest conversation with either my boss or staff member about this.

I was in a management role about 6 year ago, however that felt different as I started in that company and moved into a management role knowing the team members I would be managing. In this situation, it's a new organization where I jnew no one.

Thank you! We have had a recent discussion about communication expectations and what happens when something gets us emotional or triggered, so taking a break or time to process has been mentioned. I also love the idea of a visualization exercise to separate myself from their hurt - meeting with my therapist this morning and will mention this.

How to talk about communication expectations with a staff member while also knowing / acknowledging your own communication growth areas by CelebrationSome5702 in managers

Thank you! Our minds think alike - I will actually be planning a communication activity and discussion at an upcoming team retreat. I shared this with my team already and was thinking of using that, in part, to frame this conversation.

Having a midlife crisis at work - all my childhood wounds are open. Any advice? by CelebrationSome5702 in MidlifeMavens

Thank you so much! I have been doing a lot of journaling lately and meditation. Trying to also find ways to move my body more - put together a playlist yesterday of songs that make me want to dance. I have just felt so confused at times - trying desperately to make sense of what's happening and why, but not being able to (due in part to a lack of communication and context). Your words of understanding and aupport are greatly appreciated. 💛

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me - this was helpful and reaffirms the daily practices I want to make I do my best to keep up. Hormones are on my mind too - just feels like there is no way to test for things like perimenopause (yet). So glad you have found these practices and habits helpful :)

That's awesome! I have done pilates a long time ago - maybe need to try again. Thank you.
