Impressive
You're such an inspiration to me.
Hi maisy my name is azeem am from India i need help from you i need macbook pro or air to learn new skills and courses online and to do freelancing i cant afford a laptop ryt now financialy not stable ame the only one who take cares of my family its a genuine request from your subscriber please help me.
I started crying with how you speak of your sister, like how you wanted to pave a way for your sister to be able to follow her dreams and explore her art in a way where she can have financial stability too. You are an amazing big sister
I’m trapped in a job in which I’m told what to do, even though the person who manages me doesn’t have any idea, and of course you can’t complain or make any constructive criticism. It’s a company and a job without any kind of future. If I haven’t quitted yet it’s because of the salary to pay the bills, of course, but if not I totally would quite today. My dream is to start a digital business and start working on my own. I hope one day I can be in this position like you. This video has been really inspiring ❤
Wishing you well, and cheering you on to go after your digital business dream! So happy my story & this video inspires you.

Truly inspirational story. Most people go to college believing that they are owed their dream job after graduation, instead of deciding to use what they learned to create their own opportunities.
I understand what you’re saying but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to create their own opportunities, and these things are often out of our control. And actually, it is people’s right to be able to work and make money because otherwise we’d be homeless. I’m stuck in two crappy retail job that don’t earn me enough money or hours and I earned a college degree, why should I have to work retail? I was the last semester to graduate before covid and never stood a chance.
@@carolinesromancereadsagain, college degree’s are only a tool, they usually don’t guarantee anyone dream jobs and they won’t guarantee you to not have “two retail jobs.” It’s the skills and work ethic developed throughout years in college that help in achieving your dream job or goal.
Thank you so much for this chat. I got goosebumps while you were talking about “staying true to yourself”. It is really inspiring. Also loved the graph and it’s definitely something I need to think about. I’ve also loved your cozy vibes since the beginning. The moment you start talking in your videos i immediately feel more at ease 🥰 thank you so much for your wholesome content!
Hi maisy! Im a lurker in your channel but I’ve been watching your channel for quite sometime now and I’m happy to discover your content. Back then I used to work in a local animation studio in my country but i felt so burnt out and felt like what i’m doing, depite learning a lot, is not making me grow as an artist. I left the studio and I couldnt be happier but now I still have to find my purpose or being as an artist. Im still lost but this video made realize to not rush things and take time to discover what I wanna do in my art career. Thank you so much for sharing your story 🥰
I still remember finding ya when ya started doing coding stuff during late 2020. It's been a fun journey watching ya evolve through the years though Maisy into a indie business through the years. Also finding you helped me to not only stick with coding, but also get back into other hobbies as well such as 3D enivorment creation learning and gamedev on the side as other hobbies. I also hope someday to start up my own indie studio in the upcoming future. you've been a inspiration. I would love more videos like this on indie entrapanuritships. :)
So happy to hear that my story & content over the years has inspired you! Thanks for watching my videos all this time, I'm so appreciative of you!
I absolutely love that you have been able to follow your own path and staying true to yourself. I too am a programmer and designer and I see myself in you. I hope that your business continues to grow! ❤
This was soo inspiring Maisy!! You’ve come a longgg way and I’m so happy I followed you along on your journey! It’s cool how your cozy videos have evolved And how you turned your business into a family business. Also love the throwback pics of you guys! You guys are so cute! Forever will have my support ❤️
You found something that many people can't find throughout their whole life.
Really happy for you and your closest people ❤
Best wishes
Thank you so much!
So so happy for you during this journey, your channel has brought such joy and peace and I wish the same for you and your family 🧡
Thank you so much!
Your team's vision and story is inspiring. Thanks for sharing with the world your gifts.
I am so blessed to have found your channel. Your videos bring me such peace and you are so inspirational. I am an avid supporter of Cozyleigh Studios and will always be. You are such a down-to-earth person and I am always happy when I get your notification bell. I will also be embarking on a new career path myself and I have my worries but I am more excited than anything for what is to come. Thank you for sharing your life and journey with us. I am really happy for you and your beautiful family. Wishing you even greater joy and an abundance of success on your journey.
Thank you so much, you are so so kind!!
Thank you so much for sharing. Your entire journey up to now was absolutely inspirational. I wish you the joy and success of you and your family's success!!! 🙏🏿
Happy for you! Been considering leaving my job as well so I can focus on fully moving. It's been one of my big goals to start in a new state.
your warm and cozy videos is what got me to follow you. i agree with you - the other tech channels weren't my style either 😅 as someone who was unsure about getting an engineering degree, followed through with it, and didn't really care for it, i loved hearing your story
This video made me realise how I'm living my life. I really like how you embraced the journey and overcame so many obstacles, we'll support you forever!! ❤
Thank you SO much!!
Maisy, you are so, so amazing!! Oh my goodness, you inspire me so much. I have been considering going to college for a tech degree, and am a little hesitant. Your videos inspire me every time I see one of them!!
I also LOVE your cozy set-up and hope to raise enough money to sort of copy it someday!! It looks beautiful.
Thank you so, so much!!
Dear Maisy, your cozy videos resonate deeply with me on many levels. Beyond just providing a comforting escape, they offer a sanctuary in a chaotic world, reminding us to slow down, appreciate the small joys, and find solace in simplicity. Your dedication to creating such genuine and nurturing content is not only inspiring but also a testament to the power of authenticity in connecting with others. Thank you for curating spaces of tranquility and warmth in a digital landscape often dominated by noise and haste. Your work is a beacon of light, guiding us back to what truly matters. Keep shining brightly, Maisy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aww, thank you so so much!!
Hello Maisy, such an inspiration! I've been following you since your coding video days and I can really relate to your experience. I'm also a Software Engineer, but I have a strong passion for design and I crave more free time to explore my creative interests. I recently made the tough decision to resign, hoping that pursuing my passion is the right choice. I believe that following what you love is important, even when the path is uncertain. I'm optimistic that this decision will lead to a more fulfilling career and a better work-life balance. 🙏🏻✨
I love videos like these where we get to know your story and your vision!! I hope you share more videos where you get to share your career journey with us!! Super interesting and inspiring!
Thank you so much! Definitely will share more videos about my career journey!
Loved this video, Maisy! 💛 and cozyleigh is such a beautiful brand with so much heart and intention!
Thank you so much Jules!! I appreciate our friendship so much!
This video is amazing. I really can't help but root for you on your journey.
I spent 10 years in retail trying to find my true purpose after college. During that time I was making RUclips videos and posting on social media which turns out makes me so much happier. Of course living in a traditional life style, I chose to keep working for the money that caused my mental health to take a huge dive. Growing up in my generation, I felt like a failure because every one else was moving on to their high paying careers while I was still confused. Now I am almost 30, burnt out, and not wanting to return to the workforce. Social media has definitely changed so much that now people can make a living off of it and pursue their dreams. Your videos have always been inspiring and motivational to me and maybe this is a sign to go back to what makes me happy. :)
Congratulations I can’t wait to see what else you’ll create for us !
Thank you!!
I am walking on the same path. I love the design and web application development. Your videos allow me to connect to my passions and interests especially in programming. I love historical inventions and archaeology and want to design products that bring back the memories of the past to the present and future and let people enjoy using it.
Keep going, I love your videos.
Hello,
I recently quit my architecture firm to start my own studio and it is rewarding with the work that I am able to do, with the projects I am able to work on . But there is always this tinge of fear of what’s next after a project ends - despite having a more rounded life in all aspects since my departure for my desk job , I often worry. I am glad to come across others regardless of the field to see doing so much better and it motivates me. Thank you . Cheers 🥂
I love the vibe of this channel!
Is it just me, or is RUclips now flooded with young Asian women who are quitting their engineering jobs to become product managers/designers? I am just noticing this trend on my RUclips feed. Anyway, do what makes you happy. :)
I've been noticing this trend as well
There has been a lot of layoffs in the tech sector due to the over hiring in during covid. Given the cost of living crisis and high inflation I'm skeptical there's a huge market for this new wave of product designers with people prioritizing feeding themselves.
Yes, maybe because they were raised to be a software engineer, for example, when they really wanted to be an interior designer or something. This means they quit their job to go on RUclips and explain their journey. I've seen this been happening too.
Yep, seeing this all over my feed as well.
At the end of the day it's just easy clicks...
Lol I don't think I've ever heard you speak since I get recommended shorts. Glad to see you got enough success here to be able to quit the 9-5 software grind. I'm in a similar position as you a few years ago.
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently in a transitionary period in my life after 24 years in the same career. I'm in the process of forging a new path into a future that is in alignment with who I really am. This video brought some clarity to the thoughts I've been grappling with. I will definitely be picking up that book. Appreciate your transparency and courage in sharing your story.
I understand the difficulties of a software engineer and woman, I saw that myself. And I am searching for something else, but maybe I found the right spot. I would like to work with my husband also but for now, it's impossible. Maybe one day ! I will follow your videos, I like all kind of cozy stuff ☺️
Awesome! I did this last year and I have never been happier. I still work but remotely and on my terms
i experienced health mental because of work more than a year ago. I gave up to take care of me. Since i moved place far where i come from, i am reviving and get a job who fits my personality and what i like to do. But i am keep in mind to learn and do what i really want to do. It is a very though moment and i am lucky to sort of this cage. We all must support to make it through no matter the time and the price it cost.
Best wishes and keep waiting your progress in the close future.
Fantastic video. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you pursue next!
This was very inspirational, eye-opening, and humbling to watch. The growth has been a joy to witness, and your intentions are so true. I still remember when the M1 Macbook came out; that was the first video I had seen of yours. I was trying to watch reviews before my purchase. I enjoyed the video and just knew to subscribe and keep an eye on your channel. It was inviting, cozy (of course), and screamed quality, and I couldn't wait to see where it went. Look at ya now 🙌🏾
Thank you so much nathan!! 🥲 Your comment made me emotional! Thanks for being here since the beginning!!!!!!!
Really love following your journey with family Maisy! Really love how you clearly identified your core values and incorporating that into what you do everyday. Not sure if anyone can relate to this, but that is my struggle at the moment, so caught up in the busy life and external pressures that I've lost clarity in who I am and what my core values are.
Wonder if you could share any tips, or tools, or even journalling prompts that helped you clarify what your core values are and what you want in life!
Thank you for everything you do Maisy ❤
So inspiring! Thank you for sharing this, all your content inspires me in a big way!
Thank you so much!!
It's so weird that you described my exact situation! hahah
I'm currently taking a break after almost 10 years acting as frontend engineer. And I feel exactly as you described. I'm not a designer by no means, but I always liked to create stuff from the ground up. However, lately I've been kinda being told what to do, so I was really not having much exposure to my creative side in my job. I am currently teaching myself electronics and I don't have any ideia if this will become a job in the future (maybe I'll also pivot to product design?), let's see...
By the way, it's pretty nice to hear that someone else took the same path and it's working out!
I'm happy for you!
Love this video! I'm one of three and both of my siblings are non verbal. I worked a corporate job and quit to make my side hustle my full time. I do it all for them because I want to have a flexible schedule and work life balance that allows me to build a future where I can spend time with them whenever I want. Like you said, my siblings are my joy. They really do drive us to be the best version of ourselves.
I admire you and your passion for the work you develop! The whole astetics you create around your work and environment is beautiful. Congratulations!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for posting this video and sharing your journey with us! You might now know this, but it was watching your videos that made me/us finally take the leap of faith to create content about tech as three ladies in tech that felt a desire to create and have autonomy… and more importantly to showcase a world of tech and beyond that was approachable and normalised instead of exclusive and complex, like you do in your videos :) Thank you once again for inspiring us! - Nat, from ragTech, a tech podcast talking about life in tech in the least techy way possible
Hey! I started following you after I saw your shorts. I'm a software developer, but I was actually between Creative Writing / Computer Science when I was entering College. I feel pretty similar to you. I enjoy creating things or exploring things rather than actually doing software development. I've been in the field for almost a decade, and I've decided to go back to school to grab an anthropology and creative writing degree.
Your videos make me wonder if I dont need to waste the money. Maybe there's a spot for me to work and to learn independently without classes.
Appreciate your videos!
I taught myself design without taking any classes, and currently learning a bunch about marketing & business as I run my own business now! It's definitely possible to learn without classes, but do what is best for you! Thanks so much for watching my videos!
I hope you’ll still make tech content💛 Stay true to yourself and do what feels right to you! Much love💛
I love your evolution from coding to physical products. I actually think you could make a video about the cozy way you clean the bathroom and I would still watch it 😂
As a woman in STEM I totally get not feeling as valued as my male counterparts. I’m outnumbered and I have different life responsibilities as a mother of four so I don’t have the same capacity to work the same hours. Sometimes I spend hours in the evening and weekends catching up with my projects and that’s exhausting. I’m hoping to eventually replace my income with other creative projects like creating content for RUclips and then I can just do design work on the side on my own cozy terms 😉
Thank you so much for loving my story! Appreciate all the support. Dabble in creativity, explore, and "just do it"! You never know what may happen!
I totally support this. I was one of the customers that were disappointed in not getting a MagSafe stand but you take all the time you need and make sure you and your family don’t get burnt out.
I think this is one of your best videos yet. Storytelling is so powerful and connective.
Wow, thank you!
I am also in the process of trying to find something for myself to work towards. But somehow I struggle with finding the energy and motivation to do so. This has helped me continue to look for something that I can be passionate about. Keep doing you girlie 😊
Hearing you speak so highly of your family and the journey you've been on is really touching and inspiring. Breaking out of the mold that society places on you can be a very defeating journey, but I'm glad it only fueled your passion and desire to make something for yourself! Thank you for sharing!
This is so cool. You've created some amazing things! I resonate with what you're saying, it feels similar in that you are driven to create things out of knowing it could be better or like just the way you want it. Computers allow me to do all of that *for free* which I think is why I was drawn to it so heavily, but the lustre was gone once it was doing other peoples things, their way; not that I want to disparage the work I do as not being important or meaningful. It's just not deeply aligned with those dreams.
Hey Maisey always know we are here to support you no matter what it takes stay true to yourself 💘💗💗
You are so inspiring, Maisy. I’m in a similar boat right now, and taking an unknown path has me paralyzed with fear. YOU did that. You should be so proud.
You can do it! You got this! Stay true to yourself 💛💛
Hello Maisy! Greetings by one introverted art soul from Bulgaria.
The cozy environment and your race brought me to your channel. I love asian cultures, especially Japanese (because of the architecture, history, the way that words are drawn, philosophy of life). I am also in the tech industry but since my early years I was always into arts. Drawing especially. Recently I read Ikigai as well. Wish you luck and success with your journey. I'll be coming to take notes, because I am on the same journey (from tech to arts). On top of that I've always wanted to work for my self with people sharing same values and visions. Thank you for evolving Maisy! Thank you for all of your work up to that point - it's immensely inspiring for me and reassuring that the path I am on is the right one.
Blessings of health, wealth and happiness to you and your family 💜
Congrat's for what you did for your sister !!!!! I love your Chanel, keep going :) :) have a nice day
I really love your desk mats! I hope I can get one someday. :)
I love your channel you are a big inspiration to me.
i am so inspired from this that literally want if in future my patner to see maisey leigh vlogs and be independent i am so happy that i found this channel i am guy but from business and cozy perspective i really like this channal a lot and i get motivated from you everytime i see your video just make this type of cotent so i can make mine inspired from you thanks
Thank you for this ❤
Spectacular! Your creativity is beautiful 😍
Started working retail in 2020 at the height of COVID and have stuck with it since. Worked my way up to manager at my current job even. Despite that, I'm becoming more aware each day my mental health is declining. About ready to quit and and find something else.
Same, I moved from events to home based retail customer service and while I love working from home and the decent pay, this job is slowly killing my mental health, I've never been more miserable in my life but I can't just quit as the job security and pay are better than I've been able to find elsewhere
Girl, I've actually cried (I'm still crying xd) when you've shown the graph and said you definitely not want to spend less time with family, because I am the exact same. My family is my world. I would even say my family are my actual true friends, my best friends, specially my mom. In fact, I spend most of my time with her, more than 5 hours a day for sure. Most of the time, whenever I have free time I spend it being with my mom, because we're basically the same and even our differences make us stronger and we always learn from each other; also, we enjoy the same things: K-Pop, animals, RUclips videos, design and art, philosophy and psychology... We're the same in almost everything. So, I can definitely feel how it must be for you, the need to stay with your family and loved ones.
I wish all the best to the three of you, I hope you succeed wonderfully
I'm so tired of my current job, both mentally and physically. I'm trying to start my own business and am already getting pulled back from the first step of starting a business: registering the LLC and dealing with all the government paperwork. Not going to lie, I'm stressed and confused right now. I keep asking myself if I'm on the right path. Your videos bring me a little bit of calm. Maybe someday, I can also have the freedom to do what I love and still be able to make a living. Thank you for sharing the story behind your brand♡
You're so inspiring Maisy! Been watching your videos for a long time now, love hearing more about your background. I resonate a lot with your values and I wish you guys the best as you continue to learn and grow! p.s. hopefully I will catch the next batch of phone stands!
Hoping to catch the next drop for the chargers (and desk mats if you ever make more!)
The three of you make a very good team, and your videos give me a peaceful and clear mind. I would like you to share the resources you used to learn product design, as I know it's challenging to transition from a coding background to product design.
I have been working as a Software Engineer for 16 years. It is the worst career you can get into if you want to have a family and peace in your life. When you are young and naive, spending 3-4 hours daily after work, doing some extra studied over the weekends if is not an issue. When you hit 30 plus and start having a family, work life balance really doesn't exist anymore. Those who post fancy videos of them working in FAANG, how they get up late and go to work, eat ice creams and do Yoga, etc are either now laid off or just started a new career as a junior dev. Juniors devs can survive just clearing out issues assigned to them. Once you move up in your career, you are not only doing development but you need to research outside of your comfort zone and implement to make existing platform better. Too many RUclipsrs advertised as if software engineering is like a high paid dream job. Companies are not stupid, they don't pay you high $ for no reason.
Self taught/bootcamp software engineer for the last 7+ years, I was recently laid off. Your videos have always given me comfort and I am happy to see your journey thanks for sharing ❤
It's interesting I found this channel while going through a transition myself; my startup is currently trying to get acquired and I'm sort of at an impasse where either i should get a new job or just take a break from the workforce entirely. I've been working in application development (front end, back end, cpp, etc.) for 9 years now and I've been feeling uninspired by it.
I've always felt really happy when pursuing my own projects which is what I'm doing now. I'm actually really considering going back to get a masters in EE because of my frustration with not being able to break into jobs that are doing some really cool stuff like in reverse engineering and fpga development. I don't really know what will happen in the future but I'm excited regardless. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes am excited for you and your partners . Please do share how you are doing so we can learn as well appreciate your shared ideas you also have nice calming voice 😊 . Thank you.
This is very insiprational and hits home for me. I love my job working in Tech but I do aspire to do something more.
amazing video. i missed your q&a’s
listening to you, i realized i've lose sight in my life. what i want to do, what im supposed to do, my motivation, and passion.. im thinking of diving into software engineering, in uni soon. i hope i can do it well.
Hayy , maisy happy to watch ur video after so long time, but tbh you are not changed, the past maisy and the today's maisy is look same , but become experienced and wise 😇 , keep growing, keep sharing content, hope next video will come soon ❣️❣️
Your voice is so beautiful and cosy❤
Well everything you said is very inspiring and somewhat motivating. But I'm crying af for the COZY Home Diaries 😭
I would love to see a video where you talk about the process of creating your products, ie. programs you use, color choices, etc. ❤❤
The idea of having your own bussiness is amazing and beautiful even if working as a software engineer is great too, there is not too many people who embrace running a bussines. It is amazing what you are doing.
I’m torn between going to college to study web-development, and staying home building projects alongside professional qualifications.
However, I’m starting to learn that experience is invaluable, and I already have so many ideas that I have a strong passion for. You are an inspiration!!
I love this video. I always say I am a creator and a visionary. Create your dreams to live in them day in and day out.😊
Thank you for this video
Hi Maisy! I originally watched your videos for your Cozy desk setup (cause honestly your work space is so cute!!) as well as my curiosity to see you code. I still feel coding is an area I’m still unfamiliar with but it does interest me. For years I was thinking about what I want to do and only had two things in mind; Design and Technology. So what could I do having those interests in mind? Through research I’ve discovered Industrial Design. Still unfamiliar about the occupation and not 100% I’ll like it, I found myself moving to California and majoring in it LOL. It was such a big risk but omg am I happy I did that because I’m so much happier and finally out of my depressive endless black hole of uncertainty. Within the major I’m able to sketch, CAD, prototype physical mockups, render, and just keep creating! I love the creative freedom to explore and design for others. Other than designing physical products I’m also minoring in UI/UX and completed my first UI/UX project! So while it’s a lot and I know I’m rambling but years ago my highschool self would have never imagined what I’m pursuing right now, both designing physical products with Industrial Design and digital products with UI/UX. Love to hear about your journey and I’m cheering for you! I’m also a believer to never chain yourself down to something and go out there and step into new opportunities because you’ll never know where it will take you! Have a great day and I’m glad you’ve found a cozy spot in your very own cozy studio 😊
Aww I absolutely love this!! Ty so much for sharing your story!! 💛💛
Interesting perspective that I can relate to…Although I love my job at Microsoft, I think that my natural leaning into content creation through my YT channel and career consultations is almost a half step towards creating my own opportunities.
Wow Maisy, this video is so inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to build this video and open yourself. I really love your transition and the journey you're making. Hope you have so much success in this new journey!
I love this video. It gives so much motivation. Also, how is your skin so Dewey and glowy?
I so love your channel. I work in IT also and am looking to get out into a more peaceful life style where I have more control of my life. Love what you are doing.
coding, designing, and music. Combine them and you've become a game dev. a thing that I've been wanting to be for a long time. anw, congrats on your findings!!!
Is it normal to cry while watching? I feel exactly the same struggles: being bored of masculine setups, being a woman employee whose works are judged all the time, and craving design! What a muse you are! Thanks for the video.
Please do more of these videos 🙏🏼
First of all, I loved to see you beeing happy in what you do and how you got there. I really enjoy your content
I’m still a teen, and you have been a great aspiration and I wish so much when i’m an adult too be happy like you :)
I am quitting my job soon. I did it out of any significant reasons. but i think the reason is I want to find what i like to do most rather than a 9-5 job. I hope I would find the answer real soon just like you do.
this video just gives me a little bit more strength to go through what i am going to next. Thank you:)
Actually, that’s a good transition. Keep your viewers posted. It’ll definitely help.
Maisy!!! You have my support! I love everything you do! Keep evolving into your higher and happier self!
very nice 👍BE TRUE WITH YOURSELF ❤
Very inspirational. I’m not happy in social work. I would like to get into content writing. My degree doesn’t match the field.
Maisy, will you ever release that game you were developing? I wish I could play your game someday! By the way, your story is amazing, I hope you can get where you aim to get!
Obrigada por sempre compartilhar suas perspectivas e nos deixar tão próximos de vocês através da internet. Sempre me sinto renovada, inspirada e animada para minhas escolhas de vida também. ⚡
Infelizmente não faz sentido financeiramente adquirir seus produtos físicos para enviar para o Brasil, quem sabe um dia se eu tiver oportunidade de passear por onde vocês moram eu faça uma encomenda especial. 🤍
Que sua jornada continue sendo aconchegante e evolua sempre, que vocês possam estar sempre experimentando a alegria de viver com muita criatividade! 🪐🎠✨
Beyond the touchy feely feel good reasons for not mass producing, it's a great narrative to attach to their products and there is a value in exclusivity. They can charge more for making less.
hey girl~ I also just quit my job, as a technical program manager in Tiktok. It's a liberating feeling :)
so inspiring
