Need help finding a job I enjoy, possibly from from or on my own time!

Hello ladies! I need some advice/ help. My daughter just turned 1 and I took the extended parental leave. I have so much anxiety thinking about going back to work end of year because of the time I work as well as the environment. I’ve been trying to find my passion, I started a juicing business, but it hasn’t progressed as I’d like it to, I know it takes time but I feel like I’m in a mid life crisis and I need to figure it out now…Lol… I’m 37, not sure what that feels like but I just feel like there’s more out there for me. I want something flexible with good pay. There are so many thoughts going through my head of what I want to do and honestly lately I have no motivation. Not even to work on my juicing business. I feel stuck and I don’t know where to start! Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I appreciate your feedback!

Going through the same love! I’ll be 27 in August. I’ve been working since before I could get an actual “job” Now, my oldest will be 10 next month and youngest is 3. I want nothing more than to get my business back up and stay home. I have no want to go out and work outside of the home after YEARS of doing it. My mind and body are already ready for retirement. I lost my last job almost a year ago now. When I did, severe depression hit…it took a whiillee for me to want to work again, or even go in my office where I had my side business. Everyday for the last several months now, I’m submitting several applications from the time I wake up till I go to bed. Ive been trying to do the DoorDash thing but it just isn’t working. I still haven’t been able to pay our water bill since my last job… At this point, all the stress and tension is kicking in. Well last weekend, right before I was about to go to work at brookshires for $11/hr; 3 of my other applications were accepted.

All are flexible, make your own schedule and decent pay ($13; $14.50 and $18). EASY work too. I had so much anxiety thinking about going back to work in an environment like brookshires. Not just like the environment or whatever but they wanted me to move up to assistant manager before they even had me hired as cashier. Now don’t get me wrong the little $2 more made me want to, but it was the authority I guess you could say. I didn’t want that bs and stress that came with assistant manager. Especially not when I was thinking about when the guy told me the employees are basically a bunch of kids I was going to have to remind not to play barefoot in shopping carts. Like no sir that is YOUR problem as manager to make sure your cashiers are at least presenting themselves as employees in the workplace. I just couldn’t go into a place that I could tell was rough and I knew from experience, would bring me stress.

So I took the 3 flexible jobs. I’ve only started working one, which isn’t even part time just supplemental. The others I’m waiting on a day to get scheduled. I feel way more comfortable with these jobs even being 3 because I can work them all around each other. My goal is to bust my ass until I can get my business back up and going. Then gradually resign from one job at a time until all I have, and all I will need, is my business. Now when u go in brookshires I get a stank face from management 🥴🥳🤪☠️🤣 It’s crazy how I told him I appreciated the offer but I took a better job; he says behind my back he “wasn’t going to hire me” ☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would have never been able to work with such management now that I’ve met and got the vibes I did from the general manager. Or maybe I should have taken it so I could have went for his job 🤓🤭 I crack myself up it’s too early for my shit today ☠️🤣🤣🤣

I hear you, Tanya. I just started back working 1 day a week and it takes up so much of my energy and I miss my kids. My kids are 4, 3, and 2 - my oldest is on the spectrum and NEEDS extra support on the weekends and my husband doesn't always have a handle on things to look after all 3 kids and then when we have his teen daughter with us. I used to purchase Isagenix when I was younger (single, no kids) and I thought about doing the business side of it now since I need help with mine and my kids' health anyways. But being an introverted homebody with social awkwardness, I am by no means a MLM person. 😭 I'm 34 and my usual line of work is so mentally and physically draining. And to study right now and change my career path would be near impossible.
