Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m somewhere between quarter life crisis and on top of the world. My 30th birthday is next week & life keeps getting more interesting. I relocated to San Diego almost 6 years ago, the biggest challenge has been making genuine connections since leaving home.
How's your life?
I’ve got some good things going for me. I have a supportive and loving husband, the means to experience things that bring me joy (traveling, eating, sitting on patios drinking wine), my job is mostly good. The thing that keeps nagging at me is my lack of connection here in Southern California, and generally, actually. I don’t really have a family. I miss having close friends near by.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good food, reality TV & getting outside.
What is most important to you right now?
Health & happiness. My marriage. Growth. Meaningful connections.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently listened Trejo, by Danny Trejo, on audible. I didn’t know what I expected when I bought the book, but wow, I was immediately hooked. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh but also a compelling story.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am a 35 year old mother of two. I have a 16 year old son and a 10 year old daughter. I work a lot. I have a full time job and a part time job. I'm also trying to get my bachelor's degree online in soil science. I work as a gardener. I love plants and being outside. I have been sober for almost 5 years.
How's your life?
Man this is a tough question. How is my life. I've struggled with depression and other similar issues most of my life. I often find it hard to see the good stuff for a few reasons. I work a lot and often feel like I'm spinning my wheels and hoping I eventually maybe make it out. Overall I think it is good though. I have a lot to be thankful for! I have healthy kids, food on the table, a reliable vehicle that gets me to work, a job, and a roof. Therapy and working on myself is an ongoing effort. If I could say one thing I would like more of is community and support. Working on balancing everything.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Hiking. As often as possible. Also my dog Kylo helps a lot. I love him so much. Hiking with him is literally my favorite. I also enjoy cross stitching and do that as frequently as I can.
What is most important to you right now?
Honestly just making it through. Haha continuing to check the boxes to try and
Anything you recently found interesting?
I love learning! Lately I've been getting into soil! Holy moly there are so many little critters in soil. It's honestly incredible. I could talk forever about plants from roots to shoots.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Rediscovery. Sliding into my mid-late thirties and feeling like I'm hitting my stride. I'm focusing more on who I am as a person and how to make that the best version. I've coasted on my twenties energy and now I'm in my chrysalis with my wings showing and ready to break out into a life of stability.
How's your life?
My life is a mix of working super hard offshore as an oceanographer in renewable energy, which allows me to travel and explore the world. When I'm home, you can find me walking to the surf break or on the trail with my german shepherd. I'm blessed to have the life I have now, but can appreciate the struggle it took to get here and the struggle that everyone else is going through.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Passion. Whether it be whatever project I'm working on. Surfing. Workout. Reading. The next adventure. Therapy. My pup.
What is most important to you right now?
I've been in SD for a little less than 2 years, but have been pretty wrapped up in work and am now trying to build community. Working on myself and adding stability to my life with grounded people with their heads in the cloud.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've recently found challenging myself and my views interesting and exciting. Whether it be through getting back to being more of a yes person or pushing my boundaries in terms of being present and a whole person, instead of just cruising through life.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in my early career stage focusing on building a life for myself and gaining financial freedom/saving for the future. I’m in a long term relationship and live with my partner and our Cat.
How's your life?
I am fairly content with my life. I’m at a point where I feel like I’m craving a stronger sense of community and want to focus my energy on making meaningful connections with new friends who are like-minded.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Getting outside in nature helps me keep my sanity as well as sharing with other when I am going through something.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me right now is to focus on surrounding myself with people who care for me and doing the same for others. I want to work on getting outside of my comfort zone in many area of my life. I’m excited to hopefully connect with people I can learn from and vice versa
Anything you recently found interesting?
Learning music theory is really difficult!

What is one way that you have challenged yourself to do something outside your comfort zone? I identify a lot with that sentiment as well.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Focused on work-life balance, taking advantage of all the great outdoor activities available in the San Diego area, exploring new interests.
How's your life?
My life is good atm. But…..I do not know many people in San Diego. I moved from the New York City area a few years ago. I lean toward the introverted end of the spectrum. I have a girlfriend, but it would be nice to meet others — particularly other 40+ year old people who have moved here in the last few years and are seeking social connections.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Per the above — work life balance. The great weather in San Diego and spending time outdoors. Spending time with friends and family. But…I don’t really have any local friends (other than girlfriend).
What is most important to you right now?
I guess the things I have mentioned in the above responses. As mentioned, I moved to the San Diego area a few years ago, from the east coast. I am introvert-leaning. Would like a few quality social connections in San Diego.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I find too many things interesting to list them all here. But, to name a few: AI, the hiking trails around San Diego, the evolving San Diego restaurant scene, Bourbon, biking, live music concerts/performances.
