POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
If you need your cup refilled today you’re in the right place, friend

It started two days ago with one simple thread: I wanna hear pivot stories from women over the age of 40 who took a scary leap into the unknown and are better for it

If you’re new here, I’m about to turn 46 and pivot once again in life, this time into a career in insurance which is a wild departure from my previous career experiences in radio and as a content creator but one that will offer me the flexibility I want at this point in life. I’ll never stop creating content and sharing my life on social media, I love it too much, but let’s be real - this place doesn’t offer benefits or a retirement plan and I refuse to work until the day I die

I don’t do well with change and I’m nervous, but also super excited about the opportunity to flex my brain and learn something new

These responses and the hundreds of others have me feeling invincible right now and I hope they do the same for you

I’ve tagged the commenters I was able to locate on this platform. Tap the photos and show them some love šŸ«¶šŸ»

✨ EDIT - due to the response to this concept I’ve decided to make this a series. Feel free to check my latest posts for more and don’t forget to submit your pivot stories by DM’ing me

Are women too emotional or are men not NEARLY emotional enough? by @itsdeenalang

You know we don’t have just accept this life for our kids, right? 

There is a happy medium between zero šŸ”„šŸ’ŖšŸ»ā€™s and people swimming in a pile of them Scrooge McDuck style. And nobody in power is even entertaining this conversation because they’re not being forced to. 

They’re not stupid. They know all they have to do is yell, ā€œThey’re coming for our šŸ”„šŸ’ŖšŸ»ā€™s!ā€ and people will lose their minds. At some point common sense has to prevail, friend. At some point you have to understand that’s not reality

Shouldn’t the thoughts and prayers have worked by now? 

It’s time to vote about it

Before you do - here’s how to find out which politicians have accepted money from the NRA:

- OpenSecrets.org. Search a candidate or ā€œNational Rifle Associationā€ under the interest group or PAC pages

- FEC.gov

- FollowTheMoney.org

-Your state’s campaign finance database

- You can also search NRA ratings, and endorsements to see who the group is backing. by @itsdeenalang

head into this new week with the delusional confidence of a mediocre white man like shane gillis and you’ll be unstoppable 

he actually got fired from snl 5 days after getting hired in 2019 for making racist and homophobic remarks, but look at him now, failing alllllll the way up

anybody else a former pick me? what was the moment that woke you up?

apparently I CAN commit to a routine

šŸ‘‹šŸ» I’m Deena. I’m 46, in perimenopause and living each day flying by the seat of my stretchy pants

I’m a native Floridian who married later in life at 38 and a one and done mom of a hilarious teenage boy 

I struggled hard to ā€œplay the gameā€ in corporate America, burnt out during COVID and decided to pivot from my 20+ year long career as a radio personality to content creator at age 40

Shortly after I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism and suddenly EVERYTHING made sense. I’m still in the process of figuring this new life out almost 6 years later, but the relief of finally understanding why I am the way I am has been major

A few months ago, after studying for over a year, I got my insurance license and started working for a friend’s agency. 

Posted about the anxiety I had about going back to work in an office after 6 years of working from home and that post went crazy viral. Women from all over the world have been sending me their pivot stories every single day since and if you’re interested in finding out what I’m doing with those incredible stories, check out my Substack — you can access it through my profile and subscribe for free. 

I’m big on saying ā€œYESā€ to opportunities that scare me and you’ll see a lot of that around here. I feel like men fake it till they make it all the time so why not me? 

Enough about me - tell me something totally random about YOU šŸ‘‡šŸ»

I’m glad you’re here

Don’t let the overconsumption creators trick you into thinking you need to spend unnecessary money during Prime Day 

Are there good deals? Yes. Are they life altering ā€œMust havesā€? Unlikely

As you can see, you won’t have to wait long before another price drop OR another Amazon Prime Day. 

Track your items, be patient and never again fall for a greedy megalomaniac billionaire’s sales tactics šŸ«¶šŸ»
