In this episode, we unpack the guilt, shame, and emotional friction that come with changing your mind—especially when it comes to your job, relationships, or life direction.
From navigating commitment issues to knowing when you’ve outgrown a space, we reflect on our own experiences with leaving corporate jobs, pivoting careers, and building enough self-belief to take a different path.
We explore the pressure to stay put, the generational baggage around quitting, and the deep personal work it takes to trust your own intuition.
Whether you’re contemplating a job change, leaving a relationship, or just feeling stuck, this episode will help you reframe what it means to “quit”—and see it instead as a radical act of self-trust.
Perfect for high-achieving women who are tired of living on autopilot and ready to choose themselves, even when it feels scary.
