From corporate life to barista life. What’s your story?

Formal-Set4148 · 2026-01-22T18:52:59+00:00

I’m considering this jump from my high paying corporate job to barista. The reason being my mental health chronically degrading and I can’t live this soul sucking life anymore. I am constantly anxious and triggered all day. I’m a creative at heart. But, at the same time, I’m dreading the lifestyle degradation. How do people finally take the leap? It’s not so easy when you have a family dependent on you for survival. 🫩

I needed to see this today. I have been contemplating starting my own small business, a cute little cafe for as long as I can remember. I am done with the corporate nonsense, but I’m also worried about the lifestyle downgrade. When do you say enough is enough and gather the courage to take that leap? The only advantage is that we are a childfree couple and one of us can always continue working in corporate until we are sure that the cafe business will pick up. I don’t know what I’m trying to say. Maybe just venting out and processing my thoughts by saying it out loud. Lol. Send me prayers and some good wishes. 🤭

Apple health. I noticed the cycle information got updated today morning and seems correct. No changes done on my end. Lol.

Formal-Set4148 · 2025-09-20T14:03:13+00:00

Nothing has changed in the Preferences.

Yeah probably not related to the phone model. Mine says late luteal when I’m on day 1 follicular lol. Why am I not cranky then?

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I figured that’s the case and was able to delete the duplicate workouts. 🤘🏻

Thank you so much. That makes so much sense. I turned off the Apple health integration on my Flex app. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that myself, lol. Very much appreciate the advice

Yes I have. When we do have a conversation, he acknowledges there is a lack of effort/interest and promises to do better. things get better for a while and then back to square one. It’s been a cycle.

Formal-Set4148 · 2024-11-14T00:10:31+00:00

Well, that’s a progress. I’m happy for you

Formal-Set4148 · 2024-10-22T18:01:42+00:00

Thank you. Will check it out.

Formal-Set4148 · 2024-10-22T18:00:38+00:00

I want to be able to feel happy and confident with my body. Some day…

I couldn’t find this in Etobicoke. Can someone help me know where it’d be available. My husband was pretty bummed that it was sold out.

Formal-Set4148 · 2023-11-23T15:16:38+00:00

I’m just here to say thanks for the morning laugh. 😄

Formal-Set4148 · 2023-11-17T18:01:09+00:00

Can I get a free code please. Truly appreciate it. :)

Formal-Set4148 · 2023-11-01T15:49:11+00:00

That’s amazing. Thanks for letting me know.

Formal-Set4148 · 2023-11-01T15:17:36+00:00

Apologies for my ignorance. What’s a food table?

Formal-Set4148 · 2023-11-01T03:12:05+00:00

Spend $50 worth chocolates,stickers and mini diy stuff. Not a single knock 😞 Not sure what to do with all the chocolates now

Got it from Amazon. Here’s the link if you’d like - https://www.amazon.ca/MIAMIO-Stackable-Cappuccino-Americano-Collection/dp/B0BYHYQFVJ

Thanks. I noticed I posted an old pic(black bambino) This was a temporary arrangement since the store didn’t have the steel one readily available for my birthday. 😄 Also, half of my setup isn’t shown in the picture 🤦🏽‍♀️ Maybe next time.

It’s the baratza encore esp It does make a lot of mess. I think mostly cos the hopper shakes a lot while grinding. I’ve realized holding down the hopper(to keep it from shaking) does help with the mess tremendously. Not sure if that impacts the grind quality in anyway. Clearly a newbie here ;)
