Hi! I’m a UX writer with about four years of working experience, two in my current organization. Leadership is about to have a strategy workshop where they will discuss how best to grow the teams, and what roles to hire for in the next year.

Right now, my work is a bit of a mix. I work with three different product teams, and some of them include me early so I can help shape the content when we add new features, while others only loop me in at the end, at which point I end up in that frustrating place where you’re reviewing strings that don’t really mark sense because the setup is bad - and sometimes there’s time to rework the design, but sometimes there isn’t.

I’ve been trying to get a handle on what content design is and what the work is like. I went to a content design conference last year, and UXCC’s systems thinking for content design workshop this year. I’m starting to grasp what content design is about, and I really want to move in that direction because I can see how it would really improve our product. But since I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing and don’t have a mentor in this field (my direct manager is great and supportive, but she’s more of a content manager focusing on blog/did legacy product writing when she was the only writer), I’m wondering how I can make the case for content design and my transitioning into content design, so it can be on their radar while they plan.

I know they still need a writer, but it would help me to have a role that would sit closer to UXR and be included from the start, rather than the end. The product team whose work is most content-heavy is the one where one frantic product designer is trying to do everything and then asks me to review Claude-copy at the end, and I’m like…… this is wrong.

I know this post is a bit all over the place (I swear I’m more concise in my work 🙈), so I guess I’m looking for advice, experiences, and thoughts on transitioning into content design when it’s a bit of an unknown.

back in with the clean clothes in the dresser/closet? a chair? the floor? my husband leaves clothes all over the house and it drives me insane. and then he complains because he can’t find them 🤯 he says they’re not clean anymore and would sully the clean cloths, but they’re still very wearable again… what’s your “home” for these clothes?

Hi! I have a 3yo and have been ttc for a year now (had an immediate chemical and then nothing since). I had an emergency c-section with my son and at a recent massage, they said the scar tissue felt “ropey” on one side around my scar. I started looking into adhesions and secondary infertility and now I really think there might be a connection in my case because my gut says something doesn’t add up.

I reached out to my midwife (I’m in sweden so she’s the first point of contact) but waiting to hear back. Im 40+ so not expecting a ton of help (and we aren’t in a financial position to afford going private), but I like to think if there’s a complication from past surgery they would consider looking into it. During my c-section, they found out I only have one fallopian tube. I got pregnant on the first cycle with my son, but now I’m worried about my one tube being blocked or that there’s something wrong with my uterus. My cousin’s first c-section didn’t heal internally, causing secondary infertility, and she had to fight to get help and finally managed to have bay #2.

So I’m just wondering if there’s anyone in this group who had complications from a previous c-section that affected their fertility, and how you overcame it? I would love to hear your stories. TTC is so isolating and navigating a foreign medical system even more so, so I could use some hope. Thanks for reading.
