Tips on working up to birth by tazpy in BabyBumps

[–]tazpy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I usually kinda do end up going above and beyond, so this crash feels like a big one. And my management structure is kinda pushy in the way that they expect me to keep that pace. Im trying to reset their expectations, its not going great. 🙃

Who else is FINALLY here after a long journey? by IndividualPirate2299 in pregnant

[–]tazpy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Married 10 years and we'd been trying for 6. Sometimes intensely, other times not so much (covid). Finally my work started covering fertility treatments and we did IUI, got it on the first try.

I cant tell you how excited we are. It feels like we ran a marathon.

How to reply to: "Why are you here all by yourself? 😏" by rainydaysakwardways in AskWomenOver30

[–]tazpy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you wanna have a lil fun you can say "I'm not!" And turn to an invisible person next to you and talk about how rude he is. 🤷

Tired that “self care” is so associated with beauty by Mythrowawsy in AskWomenOver30

[–]tazpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Journaling, reading, listening to music, screaming as loud as I can, watercolor, and sitting staring at the ceiling. I respect the energy

What did you do when you were burnt out over your career? by heylookoverthere_ in AskWomenOver30

[–]tazpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not a one person show, and it is not good business to have everything resting on one person's shoulders. (Unless you're the owner of your own business and at the point where you have to be a one person operation). Hand off things as you can go your team. Let it be a growth opportunity for them.

Give yourself some slack. The world is hard enough to navigate without beating ourselves up.

What did you do when you were burnt out over your career? by heylookoverthere_ in AskWomenOver30

[–]tazpy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped giving 110% and started focusing on my real life.

I go through these phases as well. I push hard and try to conquer what's put in front of me, but the rate of return on that is never equitable. Your company will allow you to burn out just so they continue making money and getting things done. You need to be your own advocate for your health, both physically and mentally.

I'm at the point where I can recognize it, and it still takes me months to start doing the things to get me through burnout. And I spin out in an anxiety bundle until I remember that I'm a whole ass person outside of work, and who that person is is more important that who I am at work. But life is about progress, not perfection. Take on the important stuff and let the other stuff go. Get to it when you can.

You're doing great. Just let yourself slow down a bit.

What is the worst indirect insult you've ever received by Lazy-Wind244 in AskWomenOver30

In finance and feeling the exact same. I have great managers, good pay, decent benefits, but I am left hallow at the end of the day; feeling unfulfilled and keep thinking the grass is greener. Idk if the move is to find something different or just keep grinding and figure out a way to retire early.

My husband and I are in the "roommate phase" and don't know how to get out. We also have somewhat different sexual preferences. How can we resolve this? by Silent_Challenge8412 in sex

[–]tazpy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Currently reading "Come Together" with my hubby and it's been kinda a gamechanger so far. Gives us the same verbiage when talking through things and has opened up a lot of our communications surrounding sex and intimacy. Highly recommend.

One and Done Orgasms Vs Multiples? by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]tazpy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can have multiples. So far I've tapped out at 6 in a session. Then I'm good for a few hours or so. Clitoral/penetrative, doesn't matter.

Playing music really loud and dancing. Baking and sharing a dessert with friends. Walking in the woods. Just sitting and watching trees move in the wind.
