LINDSAY CROUSE: Makes the Case for Quitting (& NOT living a MISERABLE life)

Ever stuck with something just because you said you'd do it--even if that goal didn't serve you anymore? I think we all have. Today's guest completely upends the perseverance culture with her new book, The Case For Quitting.

Lindsay Crouse has spent her career at the intersection of running and storytelling — and her new book will completely change how you think about quitting.

Lindsay ran at Harvard and later, came within 8 minutes of the Olympic Trials Marathon standard. But most of you probably know her name from The New York Times, where she spent fifteen years as a senior editor and producer, breaking some of the biggest stories in women's sports — including the reporting that helped push Nike to guarantee pay for pregnant athletes and the story of Mary Cain's troubling time at Nike.

Now Lindsay is channeling everything she's learned about grit, ambition, and burnout into her first book, The Case for Quitting.

We dive into:

🌀What drove her to challenge this idea that PERSEVERANCE is always the answer

🌀How quitting can be one of the most courageous & empowering thing we can do

🌀Signs (& questions to ask yourself) that it is time to quit

🌀The importance of intention in the choices we make (big & small)
