Is It Ever OK to Quit? — When Persistence Becomes the Problem (Gina Casazza)
Description
This episode is about one of the hardest decisions to make:
when to keep going—and when to stop.
I'm joined by Gina Casazza, whose experiences—from extreme training environments to founding a nonprofit—have repeatedly forced that decision.
In this conversation, we explore:
• How to distinguish fear from a real signal to stop
• When persistence leads to growth—and when it leads to damage
• The role of identity and belonging in staying or leaving
• Why "never quit" can be as misleading as quitting too early
Gina's experiences provide the case studies.
The real question is how to evaluate the situation you're in.
Because the goal isn't to push through everything—
it's to know what's worth pushing through.
