In a culture that values perseverance, quitting is often seen as failure. We’re encouraged to stick out jobs, hobbies, and often, people as to not be labeled a “quitter”. So what do we do when something just isn’t going to work for us? Pulitzer prize winning journalist and author Julia Keller is shifting the narrative around walking away with her book “Quitting: A Life Strategy”. She joins us today to talk about the power of quitting and how sometimes, it’s just the thing we need to set us free.
As we produced this episode, we reached out to our Hello Monday community to hear your thoughts on what you learned and what you gained when you quit something. We feature a couple of your terrific thoughts in this episode during our Quick Tips segment, but there is so much more to explore. You can find those conversations in the comments to this post. Our team is so grateful to everyone who took the time to reach out.
