Hi all

I’m starting a new team role soon, it’s my first time managing a fully remote team and my manager is remote too. Any advice? We’ll be focused on one product within the company and the team is split across the pmm capabilities.

What are the things I should be thinking about in the first 30 days in regards to my team, the product and other key stakeholders such as my manager, product directors etc.

I’d welcome any resources that would be helpful thank you!

Hey

I’m in health tech and we have three products with one a market leader. We need to cross sell the other two as they work very well as a combo to support the healthcare workflow.

How should I go about developing and executing on this strategy? So framework, stakeholders needed and how to test the approach. Would love any help.

I’ve never considered this but a friend mentioned it to me the other day and I just wondered what makes people decide this route. It seems like last resort for me but I’d like to know when others considered it. I’ve had three miscarriages with the last one being last month :(

Thank you

When I dive deep into the word of God and spend more time knowing God and growing in the knowledge with him, I tend to start having dreams at night. When I draw away whether through distractions etc the dreams tend to stop.

My concern is I don’t know how to interpret these dreams…so what’s the use of them going?

Anyone have experience or scriptures that I can explore to understand further

I cannot believe I have been experiencing this pain for so long - it started in 2021 when we came out of lock down and I went to the gym and was doing intense workouts and walking lots. I was trying to loose the weight I had put on. With all this pain I’m not longer able to be active like I used to. It’s depressing.

The pain is only on my left side around the flank area, intense burning that can go up to my arm, shoulder and hip and leg. It’s worse when sitting or lying down and improves with walking or standing.

I have had an MRI and these are the findings:

Spine findings
These are the findings relating to your spine:
Mild disc bulges in the neck (C4-C7), not compressing nerves.
Small disc bulge at T9-T10.
L3-L4 disc bulge mildly impinging the left L3 nerve root.
L4-L5 disc bulge with a small annular fissure, touching both L4 nerve roots.
Bertolotti anatomy (sacralisation of L5).
Mild lower lumbar facet degeneration.
Normal spinal cord.

Pelvis findings
These are the findings relating to your pelvis:
Mild degeneration of both SI joints, worse on the left with mild oedema.
Mild CAM-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in both hips.
Mild fraying of the hip labrum on both sides.
Mild trochanteric bursitis.
Mild gluteal tendinopathy (slightly worse on the left).
Mild right hamstring tendinosis.
Normal piriformis muscles.
Normal sciatic nerves.
No fractures or bone lesions.

What can I do to stop the pain in the left?

I have found that if I’m not fasting and going out of my way to remove distractions, I always feel distracted in my day to day and like I’m not giving God my attention.

Have you experienced this? How do you deal with this? Maybe I do need to set asides some time in my day to just focus purely on communicating with God. Like when Jesus went to the mountains early in the morning to pray.

I’m so surprised the plan worked!!! Yesssss

I suspect they’ll vote out Sean and Lola because she’s not gonna vote out her friend Martha. It’s tough because Lorenzo has a say too.

What are your thoughts?

I honestly think Melanie leaving now would send such a strong positive message to all girls watching. It would get her more fame and recognition than staying with him. Staying with Sincere is going to hold her back like her sister said. Similar happened to Chelley with Ace

I feel a partner should support their partner no matter what especially over friends. Any issues can be discussed in private but in public show support! Maybe because they’ve only been coupled up a few days so he is not prioritising her. But he also doesn’t want to make her coffees etc and show those little gestures.

Kavan is such an immature git and how he responded to Charlene was totally unacceptable. I understand he has free will but she was just expressing that her feelings were hurt and he should be mindful of them.

Jas and Kav are just as bad as each other !!! They deserve their toxic relationship

I really expected some humility from Lola tonight after movie night. But no, she’s doubling down even further and saying people need to be careful of Julia the bitch. She’s so nasty and extremely delusional and a terrible human for trying to create this narrative about Julia

Update: I can’t believe what she’s gonna say about Julia tomorrow, even Sean told her to stop being petty! She’s such a jealous person!!

She’s not my favourite islander but I also think she’s alright. Her and Kav did get on but they fight a lot, he knows it and it’s most probably a personality he’s not used to.

They both messed about. I’m not sure why she can’t see that her using Jordan as a plan B via Priya is absolutely terrible :/

Is she performing with the tears? I mean it was a lot of crying!!! I feel like she wants us to feel really sorry for her.

What do you lot think? I mean she’s constantly complaining about his age, will she ever be satisfied?

Based on what we have seen she should apologise. Lola has become so delusional with Sean by all means and does not want to call him out on anything even with the boundary she set about picking up a girl.

I recently listened to a sermon on praying against ungodly patterns. In it, the pastor shared a personal story about his family. He said that after his younger sister died, his father sought God for an explanation. According to the pastor, God revealed that it was not the devil who had taken her life. Rather, God had allowed her death to get the father’s attention because the family had unknowingly moved onto land that had previously been dedicated to idols or demons, and they had not dealt with the spiritual issues connected to it. After this, they engaged in spiritual warfare over the land and the problems stopped.

This raised a theological question for me.
Does this actually align with God’s character as revealed in Scripture?

My first instinct was to go back to the Bible rather than base my view on someone’s testimony.
From what I can see, when God directly took life, it was generally an act of judgment, usually in the Old Testament, against individuals or nations for sin. I also noticed passages such as Ezekiel 18, where God emphasises that children are not punished for the sins of their parents, but each person is accountable for their own sin.

Then we come to the New Testament. Christ has borne the penalty for sin on the cross, so I’m struggling to understand whether a teaching like this fits within the New Covenant. I also can’t find examples in the ministry of Jesus or the apostles where believers are instructed to investigate the spiritual history of land or where God kills a family member to get someone’s attention because of the land they unknowingly lived on.

When I shared these concerns with the friend who sent me the sermon, she replied that this kind of thing can’t be understood through Scripture alone and
requires a personal revelation from God.

That left me wondering: how should Christians weigh personal revelations against Scripture? If a claimed revelation appears to go beyond what the Bible clearly teaches, should it be accepted, or should Scripture remain the standard by which we test it?

I’m genuinely looking to understand how other Christians approach this.

I’m about to go into fasting & prayer to understand or gain insight into why I’m having pregnancy losses. For those of you that usually fast and pray, what is an effective way to go about doing this for 3 days? I’m currently free during the days as I’m not in employment. I’d love any advice and scripture or resources to study. Thank you <3

Hello community <3

I want to hear some experiences so I’m clear on what to do. I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks ago so around 4 week mark and I had a little blood on tissue so went to A&E. For some context I’m in the UK.

They said they couldn’t see anything at the moment although there was something faint like a white circle that could indicate the pregnancy. They termed this Pregnancy of unknown location.

I have gone back every two days and hcg has increased from 1055 to 10,559.

I went in yesterday and the nurse said what she was seeing seems to now be irregular but it’s not a gestational sac and looks like it could be leftover tissue from an early miscarriage.

Have you had an experience where they have later on found the pregnancy? I’m now 6wks and 3 days.

They said it’s not an ectopic as they’ve looked etc and suggest I come in for surgery to have the tissue removed.

Would love to hear experiences.

Hello,

Today marks my sixth week of pregnancy. However, at 4 weeks and 6 days, I visited the emergency unit due to light spotting, which subsequently stopped. A scan was performed, but unfortunately, they couldn't identify anything at that time. I underwent blood tests 48 hours after the initial visit and again another 48 hours later. The blood test results showed a significant increase in hCG levels, now exceeding 5000, yet the ultrasound still shows no visible signs of pregnancy or related issues.

I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced a similar situation and has seen positive outcomes. Please, no negative stories—I'm only seeking reassurance from success stories. I am also wondering if I should see an expert gynae as I was scanned bh a nurse. Fyi I am based in the UK

I am aware of the potential worst-case scenarios but remain hopeful for the best possible outcome.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone <3

I’ve experienced a lot of disappointment and pain and wonder if husbands can truly be responsible, reliable and have high agency. Or will wives forever be leading the charge and acting like project managers or mothers to their husbands?

I know the above is not the case but I don’t have many examples around me.

Please share how your partners show up responsibly, reliably, having agency and not being passive in their marriage.

I’d love examples.

Give me hope. Please.
