I'll just add too, I'm kind of in the same position as you. I've taken 2023 as my year to learn more and to "Get Into Space" (not literally, unless Elon is reading this.....)

But what I am pretty good at doing is wading through all the vast amounts of stuff out there about space and finding the most valuable and easiest to understand things for people like you and me. So if you want me to be your guide and focus your interest on things that are directly useful to you, just let me know!
