I’ve found https://betterexplained.com an excellent resource for developing an intuition for fundamental concepts in math.
For calculus itself, I’d recommend Thompson’s enlightening and witty 1910 textbook “Calculus Made Easy”. It’s available for free at:

This probably isn’t novel advice, but Khan Academy is great for learning the fundamentals.
I’m in a similar position. I’ve rebuilding my understanding of mathematics using Khan Academy and 3Blue1Brown videos. It’s going pretty well.
I’ve tried to relearn Calc a handful times, but find myself frustrated when I have to go look up basic trig identities, and order of operations stuff just to get through practice problems. I’d love to relearn math from scratch if anyone has any recommendations.
