I wanted to set my own hours and didn’t want to answer to anyone other than myself. And the pay could have been limitless.
I moved out of state for a job and within the first week found out how much I HATED that job. Gave me the final push to start my own business and now I’m 3-4 years in and thriving!
Covid was the push I needed. My teaching hours were cut back since everything was online and that gave me more time to put into my own business.

Perpetual burnout every 3 years after I graduated highschool. The one after university was expected but they kept happening. I needed to figure my shit out after I almost died in 2020. The pandemic gave me the space to do that and i grabbed hold of that opportunity and never let go.
