Ep. 70: When you feel like giving up…
WATCH:
LISTEN:
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.
For those who once felt the overwhelming desire to quit but decided to keep pushing forward and see where things go, this one’s for you.
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

EPISODE QUOTES:
Knowing that you need to talk through things and that transparency is a part of this journey and welcoming people into the same space of healing that we are in is a bit of a haze. Because all of us want control. All of us want to know what the outcome is going to be.

Are you gonna trust that it can still happen even when you don't see it when you don't understand it?
- Shaté Hayes
Let me not actually focus on all of the challenges. Let me not focus on the resources of the fatigue, or the time, or the rejection. But let me just focus on like, actually, what could be what could be about to sprout up, if I just kept pressing forward a little bit more?
