Consider finding networking events in the area for your industry. No more appropriate place than that to meet people in your field and talk shop!

It's not even really that I want to talk about the details of my work. I'm just enjoying a job in my field for the first time in 8 years and I think it would feel good to say that out loud.

I have been silently pushing through a ridiculous amount of burnout for the last couple of years, and it's like I recently hit the light on the other side of the tunnel and it feels amazing.

Most of my friends have literally no idea what I do at work. I don't think it's a big part of my personality. It's just lately been a big part of my joy.
