What do you all think?

Topic Explanation:
The discussion centers around an individual who, after undergoing ileostomy and ureter repair surgery, initially took a light-duty retail job with accessible bathroom facilities. However, after transitioning to a more stressful position during a store remodel, they experienced issues with their ostomy due to limited bathroom access and high stress. Consequently, they decided to leave the job to pursue a passion for horticulture, working with private clients to care for plants and trees, and are in the process of building their own business.

Advice and Insights:
1. Finding a vocation that aligns with personal happiness and passion can lead to a fulfilling career.
2. Pursuing a career that allows for personal well-being and happiness is important, especially when managing health conditions like an ostomy.
3. Transitioning to a less stressful work environment can significantly improve quality of life.
4. Building a business around a personal passion, such as horticulture, can be both rewarding and sustainable.
5. Encouragement and support from others can be valuable when making significant life changes.
6. Proper bathroom access is crucial for individuals with an ostomy to manage their condition effectively.
7. It's important to prioritize personal happiness and well-being over financial gain when possible.
