Quit Happens | How (and why!) to strategically quit your job, leave your relationship, or part ways with toxic mindsets.

Have you ever loved your job but been less than fond of the environment at your workplace? Sometimes it's not the work we don't love, it's the culture that comes in that work.

This week's guest, author Anshu Singh, loved her job in Silicon Valley - but after having her first child, she realized that the cutthroat, competitive environment there was no longer a good fit for the nurturing nature her new role as mother had uncovered.

Listen to hear how after 7 years of training (Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art) I finally realized that something I thought I loved so much wasn't truly my passion...and how I made it through such a significant quit.

Imagine one day you wake up and the nearly hundred thousand dollars you previously had in your bank account were simply GONE.

This week's guest, John Robinson, didn't have to imagine it - he lived it. And that day he had a choice as to how to proceed with life, and he chose to quit all the possessions he'd accumulated with his wealth, and through that process, he learned invaluable lessons about mastering detachment and basing your self-esteem on what truly matters. He shares those lessons here to help us detach from whatever we may need to quit.
