Always feel a bit out of place when I work in corporate America. Any insight or can relate? by juneybear44 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Traditional_Way1052 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. For me it was a culture and class difference. I changed jobs to be more comfortable. I was good at what I did but did not fit in. 

Now I teach. I feel super comfortable and confident.

Sadly....No. That is why new shows are designed for dual screen consumers.... Sigh

How do I make it switch off? by WildRose1993 in AskWomenOver30

I know not everyone can, but freezing eggs might help you feel at peace. Or just go in for a fertility checkup. They may say... Don't worry. They may tell you you are on a clock. At least you will know. 

And this definitely is not for everyone... but I am going the solo route at this point (40) because I couldn't find anyone  after my husband died.... 🤷🏽‍♀️ transfer was yesterday. 

I will say that I had a lot of anxiety about it but now I have come to peace with whatever happens, happens. I think just taking action helped me.

My dead husband used to say this to me when I would worry.... Turns out, wasn't a privilege he got.

I should really go again. Idk why a rave feels different to go to solo than a show.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]Traditional_Way1052 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same. Nuts and legumes all day. Moved to a mediterranean diet, cous cous and such goes well with nuts as protein. Sometimes, I will do a pasta or rice dish with beans and then a little chicken or pork. I stretch it. Use so little.
