040 Quitters Win All the Time – Dr. Lynn Marie Morski
Dr. Lynn Marie Morski holds many titles: she’s a physician in both sports and family medicine, an attorney, and former adjunct law professor at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law. A self-described “quitting evangelist,” Lynn Marie is the author of Quitting by Design and host of the Quit Happens podcast.
In this episode, Lynn Marie discusses how a bad job can be both emotionally and physically unhealthy, suggests some ways you can figure out your ideal work day, and attacks the myth that quitting is inherently a “loss.”

"I think a lot of people fall for those lies we tell ourselves, and that keeps us stuck.”
“Tune into your intuition, because that’s the first way that you’re gonna know that something is out of alignment.”
“Thank goodness it’s changed to where having a job straight out of college and keeping it for 40 years is not some paradigm to be celebrated anymore.”
“If nothing’s lighting you up, then maybe you should quit some things to make some more space for things that would get you excited.”
“Giving up and quitting are very different things.”
“The real self-care is quitting whatever is bringing you so far out of baseline that you need self-care.”
