  • S1 E1 - A New Philosophy of Quitting - Sarah Weiler + Kate Taylor

    EPISODE 1 IS HERE!

    'The News is Alive with the Sound of Quitting... aaaaah!'

    In 2017 I put a call out for people to share their quitting stories with me.

    People were shocked that I was bringing this 'brave' and 'out-there' topic into the world.

    They DM'd me on the sly with their confessions about times they wanted to quit, or shared their relief of when they did. Quitting was still a guilty secret.

    Fast forward to 2022 and Quitting is all the rage! The great resignation is upon us and Quitting is showing up in every newspaper, magazine and podcast interview.

    The world is ready for this podcast!

    In this first episode I'm interviewed by my wonderful coach Kate Taylor, who is helping me bring the themes of this podcast and my own Quitting journey to life.

    Listen to the whole thing over a cuppa, or skip to the bits you want like the true short-attention-span millennial you are. (And yes, I'm forever a teacher - still differentiating for all listening types!)

    • 4:24 - How and why I've created frameworks to support myself and others as multi-passionates
    • 8:55 - What I do now and the journey I've been on
    • 12:20 - My hopes for this podcast and how it came about
    • 15:56 - How we are constantly quitting and re-committing - and the idea of a ''mini-quit''
    • 20:03 - What the desire to quit is really showing us
    • 23:08 - The importance of celebrating endings the grace and harvesting the experience
    • 27:36 - My own early experiences of quitting and how it shaped me
    • 38:45 - Framework time! The Quitting Quadrant®
    • 44:00 - The Carousel Model (+ how it intersects with the Quitting work)
    • 47:19 - Whether I've ever regretted quitting something...
    • 50:09 - What to expect with the podcast interviews coming up...
    • 52:50 - The best piece of advice about quitting I can give people...

    I hope you enjoy it! And if you get half way through and it's not your vibe, you have full permission to quit listening...

    Also, yes don't worry, I will make sure every episode has a musical theatre link in its title. IMPORTANT THINGS COVERED.

About Knowing When to Quit

From the publisher's feed

I'm Sarah Weiler, TEDx Speaker, coach and creative multi-passionate. I'm fascinated by how we navigate quitting and the uncomfortable feeling that come up when we entertain bringing things to a close.
