Listen y'all, we have wanted to quit podcasting so many times. As recently as this weekend, we seriously entertained letting it go because life has been out here life-ing. But thankfully, we’ve gotten a reframing that’s helped us, and we hope it’ll help y’all too.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR:

There will be moments when you feel like giving up [5:24]

• We need to learn how to pivot and start all over again rather than moping over our loss 

• Why taking your hands off of something could sometimes be a good thing 

• The reason why most people quit 

• Trusting the process and sticking through the uncomfortability 

• Continually working towards something despite not having tangible results 

The haze of seeing through the ‘promise of purpose’ [17:09] 

• Waiting could be a exhausting 

• Our need to be always in control 

• It’s hard to continue when we’re not certain with the outcome 

• The struggle in finding the sweet spot between mindfulness and being future-focused 

• Building the body of work while evolving

Navigating the haze [26:52]

• Celebrating the pace of our progress, the small wins along the way 

• Thinking of the possibilities that could go our way when we keep moving forward—possibility over prize 

Biggest lessons [35:49] 

• Success doesn’t always mean reward as hard work is not always rewarded (and that’s okay!)

• Impact alone is enough to keep pushing
