So What's Even Happening?

I Quit! | Ep. 12 When to Walk Away from Jobs, Friendships, and Dreams

Xiomara and Cortney Episode 12

Society tells us that quitting is for the weak—but what if it’s actually the boldest, smartest move you can make? In this episode, we challenge the stigma around quitting and explore how knowing when to walk away can lead to greater success, happiness, and personal growth. Whether it’s a dead-end job, a one-sided relationship, or a passion project that no longer sparks joy, we break down the signs that it’s time to move on. 

Through candid conversations and personal stories, we unpack the emotional weight of quitting, how to make peace with letting go, and why walking away from something that no longer serves you might just be the most powerful decision of your life. 

Plus, we play a thought-provoking game of “Quit or Commit?” where we put ourselves to the test with real-life dilemmas—would you stay or walk away?


Key Discussion Points:

- Why quitting isn’t failure—it’s strategy.
- The difference between persistence and knowing when to cut your losses.
- How to identify when a situation is holding you back rather than helping you grow.
- Personal stories of quitting (jobs, relationships, habits) and how they led to better opportunities.
- The emotional side of quitting—how to navigate guilt, fear, and societal judgment.


Takeaways:
- Quitting doesn’t mean giving up; it means making space for better things.
- Trust your gut—if something consistently drains you, it might be time to walk away.
- Not all commitments are meant to last forever, and that’s okay.

Tune in for a refreshing take on why sometimes, the smartest move is knowing when to say goodbye.
