Ep. 70 - Grit or Quit? How to Know When to Push and When to Let Go (inspired by Adam Grant)

Send a text

We hear it all the time: don’t quit, finish what you start, push through. And while grit absolutely matters, there’s a side of this conversation we don’t talk about enough, knowing when it’s time to stop.

In this episode, I share a personal story about intentionally breaking a 684-day habit streak and why that decision taught me more about progress than pushing ever could. I walk you through how to tell the difference between a commitment that deserves your grit and one that’s quietly draining your time, energy, and mental space.

If you’ve been holding onto something out of discipline, pride, or fear of “giving up,” this episode will help you make a clearer, more intentional decision without guilt or shame.
