Show Notes

If you're often praised for never giving up and always making things happen, it's also possible that you don't know when to quit and when to give up, and you run yourself into the ground no matter what to make something happen.

In this solo episode, I'm talking about:

  1. Why quitting is really hard for some of us. 
  2. Internalized capitalism and why some of us are more comfortable with productivity than we are with rest.
  3. How society and biology both play a part the learned behavior of pushing beyond our limit.
  4. A personal story about how I recently re-learned the importance of quitting while hiking in Scotland.
  5.  Some tips and strategies for practicing getting better at quitting.
