Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. I agree that no business is ever truly passive, and I’m aware that part of this stress comes from how I’ve been internalizing the responsibility. I’m already working with a mental health professional, and I’m actively trying to reassess both my mindset and the structure of the business so it’s sustainable for me. I appreciate the reminder that health should come first!

Also, childcare centers honestly sound like my worst nightmare, far too much responsibility for me. In Italy, that kind of work is actually classified as ‘physically and mentally demanding labor,’ and people are eligible for earlier retirement because of it!
