My co-worker talks too much about her personal life with me. She constantly comes to my desk and talks about her daughter, husband, parents, etc.

I don’t like to talk about my past or personal life because its painful. I also believe that work and personal life do not mix.
How do I change the subject to profesional topics without appearing too obvious? She does this with everyone and I find it boring and unprofessional.
If you can’t find a way to change the subject tell her that you do not feel comfortable talking about this stuff with her and if any one else feels the way you do you and those people should all go tell her the way you guys are feeling.
I’d just tell her to shut up about her life. She doesn’t see everyone else going around, blurting out the past 20 years of their life to anyone. Might seem rude, but it’ll get it through her head that nobody wants to hear it.
