I don't even know what to focus on anymore

I don't really know where to start. Our family business is struggling, and we're at the point where we can't even cover payroll. We have around 30 employees, and some of them have been with us for decades. The thought of laying people off is absolutely breaking my heart because they're not just employees anymore, they've become part of our lives. At the same time, my marriage has been falling apart. I recently found out my husband had been using onlyfans. For the sake of our kids, I've decided to put that aside for now, but I honestly don't know if I've processed any of it. I just keep pushing forward because it feels like I don't have another choice.

I wake up every day wondering what I need to put our first. The business? My marriage? My kids? Myself? I feel like I'm constantly trying to hold everything together, and I'm exhausted. Any advice, momma's? I could really use some perspective from people who've been there..

Do those recovery devices actually work?

Been seeing red light therapy pop up everywhere lately lol, mostly for recovery. Ngl im kinda curious, but idk if it's actually any good or just another trend.

I do aerials and some strength training, so recovery matters to me..has anyone here used one at home for a while? Did you notice any difference with soreness or recovery, or is it more of a "maybe??" thing lol,,just tryna figure out if it's worth getting or if I should just stick with sleep, food, and stretching haha.

for u guys.. what's the best near infrared light therapy device you've actually used?

guys might going down the rabbit hole on near infrared light therapy lately, mostly because my recovery has been kinda rough after workouts. I lift 4 to 5x a week, and lately the soreness in my shoulders, lower back, and knees seems to stick around longer than it used to.

I keep seeing people talk about red light and near infrared panels for recovery and pain relief, but once I started looking... there are so many brands that all seem to promise the same thing. It's honestly hard to tell what's actually good and what's just clever marketing.

I'm not looking for the cheapest option, but I also don't wanna drop a few hundred bucks on something that ends up collecting dust after two weeks..for people here who actually bought one, what ended up being the best near infrared light therapy device for you? Did you notice anything real with muscle recovery, soreness, joint pain, sleep, whatever?

would love honest experiences before I pull the trigger. Haha lol

Did the novelty wear off, or do you still use it?

guys..ima seeing these silicone sonic face scrubbers more lately and im curious whether people actually keep using them long term or it they end up sitting in a drawer after a few weeks.

tried a basic silicone scrubber before and it was fine, but not sure if the sonic versions are genuinely useful enough to become part of your routine. for those whove owned one for a while, do you still use it regularly or did the novelty wear off?

how far are we from having audio to text software we can blindly trust?!

hi guys,..been messing around with different ways to convert audio to text for work stuff like meetings, interviews, and voice notes, and I still cant tell if we're actually at the point where you can just rely on it without constantly checking everything...

when the audio is clean and it's just one person talking, it usually works fine. But real situations are a different story,..background noise, or someone drifting off mid-snetence!!

what gets me is it often looks correct at first glance,. but then you notice it messed up a name or slightly changed the meaning of a sentence. That part is still hard to trust.!!

Are most people just using built-in tools like Google..apple, etc., or are dedicated transcription tools actually worth it now?

feels close, but not quite at the "don't think about it anymore" stage yet....
