This was a good roundup. The article on the career phases had me nodding and face palming because I swore I would navigate my 30s better and yet here I am – one kid, pregnant, and totally clueless about where / what to do career-wise.
Did the Adele link mean to say “why can’t we stop talking about it?” I thought that’s be more fitting
Belle says:
It did. It seems odd that she’s not talking about it, and yet, everyone else is.
Cindy says:
I have a blazer similar to that pink blazer (a few years old so not puff sleeve) and it’s great for summer. Cute for dresses or jeans.

I hope the part about the 40s and career is true. I’m 37 and basically any day that I don’t kill one of my kids or someone at work, I consider a success. My 30s totally coincided with the kid having and the getting promoted so these days I feel like I don’t have any energy to do anything beyond flop in bed myself after surviving the work day and the small kids are down.
J says:
Same. My coworkers with older children say it gets better, but every day with everyone in the house has been a struggle. I don’t even watch cheezy TV anymore, I’m so tired! Here’s hoping it gets better for you too!

The article on career phases was pretty interesting – I just got promoted to project management and I’m in my early 30s. I’m single, but it’s not by choice, yet looking at the article, in some ways I guess it’s good I got promoted to this level now before I have more responsibilities like a husband and children. On the flip side, if I am lucky enough to find someone to marry and have kids with before I’m 40, the article kind of gives me hope that maybe in my late 40s & in my 50s I can rise to leadership positions and become a role model for any younger women of color in engineering/construction.
