Joe DiStefano: When Willpower Wanes: How To Know When it's Time to Go
Saison 1 · Épisode 109
mardi 17 décembre 2019 • Durée 58:47
You can be in one of the best jobs ever, but when you feel out of alignment, start relying on willpower to get you through a day, or feel like your best energy could be spent elsewhere, it might be time to seek new opportunities. Joe DiStefano has had fabulous career opportunities come his way but ultimately knew that he was happiest on his own with his health company, RUNGA, and podcast, Stacked.
Joe was instrumental in developing the training program for a popular obstacle and strength course. These types of training programs, and others, like Crossfit, have been massive in getting more people interested in fitness who never have been before. But Joe feels that certain types of fitness, especially ones where you treat your body pretty brutally, can be counterproductive to wellness.
So Joe decided to listen to and trust what his gut was saying, that working for this type of company isn’t the right business for him. The decision came parallel with a willpower decision; he felt like he wasn’t living in line with his passion and his best energy was being spent away from his career. When the job you’re doing is taking more energy to get there and more willpower to see through a day, it’s impacting your performance, the energy at the company, and ultimately, your entire career.
Joe knew he needed to invest his energy into something that wasn’t a struggle to get through. Motivation is good in theory, but shouldn’t be necessary in practice. Instead of quitting for the sake of quitting or to make a bilateral move, Joe made a strategic quit that was going to improve the quality of his life and career.
The thing that holds back most people who are thinking about quitting is the thought that if they go, they won’t have their benefits, or secure income, or the money to keep paying the loan on the latest Mercedes. But there is so much abundance in the universe, we just need to trust.
And quit that scarcity mindset!
What helps Joe is actually picturing the worst-case scenario. By thinking about how you would handle the worst thing that could happen if you quit, you’ll probably realize it won’t be as bad as you fear.
Sara Sheehan: Quit Letting the Chorus of Voices in Your Head Dictate Your Decisions
Saison 1 · Épisode 108
mardi 10 décembre 2019 • Durée 33:42
The first thing you need to get rid of when you’re ready for transformation is that negative voice in your head. Imposter syndrome and negative self-talk will always hold you back. Sara Sheehan guides and talks to people about their transformation with her course and program, Wake Up Transformation.
Sara actively encourages you to push through your negative self-talk. You are more than what the voice in your head is telling you! And if you find yourself negatively spiraling and like your life is out of control, there are ways you can turn that drift upwards into a positive life outcome.
If you’re experiencing an identity crisis, for example, from a quit that’s lead to a huge part of your life not existing anymore, you’re not alone. There are so many ways you can help yourself through something like this. Sara shares some of the ways you can work through an identity crisis, including meditation.
You’ve probably heard people talking about their 5-year plan. Sara and I both have a problem with the 5-year plan… we’ve changed so much in the last 5 years, how will we know who we’re going to be in the next 5? By creating a plan like this, and the same goes for those new year’s resolutions, you might be thinking too small and not allowing for deviations on the plan that might bring you into your higher self.
Sara recommends thinking back to what you wanted to be and do when you were 10 years old. When we embrace our hobbies and the things we loved when we were a child, we’ll reconnect back to our state of flow. And the flow is where the magic happens.
Finally, Sara explains why you can’t have a healthy transformation when you’re in a toxic environment. It’s essential that you leave unhealthy situations, relationships, or aspects of them in order to truly transform your life.
What does your negative self-talk sound like? How can you reframe that voice into a positive? Where do you feel most in your flow? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

ENCORE EPISODE w/ Tara Garrison: Finding the Inner Strength to Follow Your Heart
Saison 1 · Épisode 106
mardi 26 novembre 2019 • Durée 43:24
Quitting is always difficult, but quitting the only life you’ve ever known comes with a unique set of obstacles and hurdles to overcome. Today’s guest, Coach Tara Garrison, was living the perfect Mormon life, but deep down, she knew something didn’t feel right. This is her story of how she listened to her gut, quit her life, and changed her destiny.
Tara had it all - the marriage, the 4 kids, the community and friends, the Mormon education… but something didn’t feel right to her. When she started learning more about health and nutrition and living a more natural life, she started to feel more awake and aware of where she was in her life. It helped her realize that everything she questioned since she studied the Book of Mormon at university was her body telling her she wasn’t living where the Universe wanted her to.
Following a divorce with her husband, Tara braved the consequences of leaving her Mormon life behind and left the church. She didn’t have a plan, literally zero dollars to her name, and ended up couch surfing, before finally hitting a break with a personal trainer friend of hers.
After taking her life into her own hands, Tara is now working as a successful health and wellness coach. And once she made the decision to start her own coaching business, all the pieces started fitting into place.
In this episode, we’re talking about why you need to feel and experience the pain you’re going through in order to understand what a situation is trying to tell you. Tara also explains what happened to her social and community life when she left the Mormon church, but why going through this hardship was still the best decision for her. Plus, how taking risks and quitting can lead you to take on new experiences you never would have considered in your old life.
Knowing how to break down the stressful thoughts and feelings you’re going through is so beneficial to working through them and understanding other perspectives. But regardless of how other people feel about a situation, it’s more important to live in your truth and follow what you need to do to be a healthier version of yourself. When you do this, the Universe will start providing bountiful opportunities for you.
Christine Hassler: Quit Letting Expectation Hangovers Keep You From the Life You Desire
Saison 1 · Épisode 105
mardi 19 novembre 2019 • Durée 44:01
It doesn’t matter what’s happened in your past, everything you’ve gone through has been a step to getting to where you are now. This means no regrets, only learned experiences. Christine Hassler is here to talk about life leading up to and moving on from a quit.
Christine is the host of Over It & On With It, the author of multiple books, including the incredible Expectation Hangover, a keynote speaker, and master life coach with a Masters in spiritual psychology. She works with women to help them gain clarity and live the life they truly want.
First things first, and this goes for every single person considering quitting out there: if you’re feeling the need to quit something, make a change, or if the situation is causing you discomfort - don’t wait until it gets worse. Make moves to remedy your situation before it becomes something you medically have to leave because of.
Christine gets it. It’s the not knowing what’s on the other side of that quit that’s almost more terrifying than the situation you’re in. Learn to trust your instincts; you don’t need anyone else’s permission to quit.
Christine lets us in on the secret of having a life coach: what they do exactly and what value a life coach will have in your life. Life coaching is way more than therapy! She shares how she uses and teaches the Law of Attraction… it’s more than just positive thinking. In fact, the more you talk about something, the more energy you’re giving it - and yes, that includes things you don’t want!
According to Christine, having a plan for your life might actually limit you. Life plans can cause you to think small, giving you tunnel vision to only hit one goal, but you might miss out on so many other incredible opportunities along the way. So think big and be flexible!
Do you have a rigid life plan? Are you thinking of quitting but the fear of what’s on the other side is stopping you? How do you attract good things into your life? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!
Dr. Nii Darko: Mindset Shifts to Help You Quit Sacrificing Your Life for Your Career
Saison 1 · Épisode 104
mardi 12 novembre 2019 • Durée 39:19
When your soul feels out of alignment with the work you’re doing, you’re more likely to feel stressed, anxious, and at odds. Not to mention the opportunity cost of working at a job that’s taking you drastically away from your life! Dr. Nii Darko is here to talk about how he made the hard decision to quit surgery, then go back to surgery, then quit again.
Nii is the host of Docs Outside the Box Podcast where he talks to medical professionals about other aspects of their life than medicine. He’s a locum surgeon who realized that he didn’t want to spend his entire life at the hospital. His podcast was born out of a desire to spend more time with his family while still making a positive impact on the medical community.
The true test for Nii came when he realized he was miserable working the equivalent of two full-time jobs. He didn’t trust himself enough to be able to provide for his growing family unless he was working as a surgeon, but the opportunity cost of this was a lot of time lost with his immediate and extended family. Nii was stuck in a fixed mindset when what he really needed was a growth mindset.
Nii knows now the importance of listening to and following your heart. Even when your head wants you to do the most logical thing, your heart doesn’t often steer you wrong. And just because you think you don’t have it all figured out, so you have to go the safe route, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen to your heart.
He learned the hard way what it felt like to live out of alignment with his values. Nii’s near chronic work at the hospital led him down a path he didn’t feel comfortable for happy in. He learned that he needed to balance his desire for money with his need for living his life to the fullest.
Where have you spent the time that didn’t bring you joy when you could have been with your family? Do you listen to your heart? What’s worth it to you?

Quitting That End of the Day Glass of Wine...or Quitting What Causes You to Reach for it!
Saison 1 · Épisode 103
mardi 5 novembre 2019 • Durée 13:12

Dr. Ali Novitsky: Quitting Your Way To A Passion-Filled Life
Saison 1 · Épisode 102
mercredi 30 octobre 2019 • Durée 45:37
Finding that balance between work and life might not be that easy when you work a demanding job, such as a doctor. But what happens when you decide to take back the power of having time off? Dr. Ali Novitsky joins me to talk about how she quit her thriving career in pediatrics to pursue other medical avenues, eventually leading to her successful coaching career.
Ali and her husband were both working time-consuming and very demanding medical jobs that meant they had to hire multiple babysitters. Even when Ali got a new position as a medical director working from home, she still wasn’t finding the time to both be with her children and take adequate time off. When her friend asked her to go to a coaching retreat with her, however, she figured out how to make it happen.
Quitting something you’ve thought you would be for your entire life, like a doctor, shook Ali’s identity. She didn’t know who she was if she wasn’t a doctor. But the decisions she’s made have led her to feel more fulfilled with purpose and direction in life.
Ali now works with over-functioning female physicians to regain control of their mind, body, and relationship. She explains what the difference between therapy and life coaching is and how a coach can help their clients take action to make changes in their life - to actually give and recommend advice.
One of the biggest things Ali sees is that women are afraid to ask for help. We all need to be more comfortable with actually asking for assistance when we need to. And, on this note, once we start changing the expectations we’ve set for ourselves in our own heads we can start to expand our lives.
Lastly, Ali shares why it’s so important to let our vulnerabilities show. People connect with people, with real stories, with real struggles, traumas, happiness, and life. That’s why it’s okay to share your vulnerabilities with people. But it’s also important to remember that not everyone is as open, and one person’s vulnerability might look much more closed than another’s.
How do you share your vulnerability? Do you have an ideal expectation for where you’re going in your life? When’s the last time you asked for help?
We also talk about moving forward after a business disaster, finding incredible opportunities, and the most valuable skill we can all nurture.
Are you scared of quitting what doesn’t serve you anymore? Do you find that you need to rely on your willpower to get you through the day more often than not? How can you be more mindful with your career intentions? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

“We know. We know when we want to leave, we know when we want to do something different. We just want some drastic sign or someone that we think has some kind of authority to go ‘no, it’s okay, you can do it’ when all the while the person we really need to listen to is ourselves.” (27:38)
