Quitter? Or Leader? Why Walking Away Might Be the Boldest Move You Make

In this episode, Marie Sonneman flips the script on what it really means to walk away—from roles, relationships, or responsibilities that no longer serve you. Inspired by her conversation with Doris Jackson Shazier (Episode 386), Marie unpacks why sometimes quitters win—and how to know when it’s time to move on.
