Quitting is often synonymous with failure or laziness or not enoughness.\xa0But the truth is\u2026 sometimes quitting is upleveling.\xa0\xa0\n\nRecently, I was on a call with a coaching client and she was sharing some of the shame she was carrying around changing jobs 4 times in one year.\xa0As we talked through each job, she shared how her titles and roles became bigger and carried more responsibilities.\xa0She had made significant jumps in each new position.\xa0Then she charted out her salary in each position to see that she increased her salary with each new role, and over the course of the year, she doubled her salary.\xa0Doubled!\n\nSo, I asked her this:\n\nIs it true that each job you quit allowed you to up-level in the next job?\n\nWhen she realized this to be the truth, she became emotional, explaining that she never knew she could carry the title she now carries, nor support her family with this level of income.\xa0\n\nSometimes quitting is upleveling.\xa0In fact, sometimes the only way to up-level is to quit something.\xa0\xa0\n\nWhen you quit one thing, you make space for the next thing.\xa0With every conscious choice to say NO to one thing, you make space for a YES somewhere else.\xa0\xa0\n\nWhether you are quitting a job, a relationship, a task/chore, a role, spending your time or energy in a certain way, you are making space to move into jobs, roles, relationships, time & energy in a way that is more aligned with your values and who you are becoming.\xa0This is upleveling.\xa0This is growth.\xa0This is power.\xa0\xa0\n\nTune into this episode to learn more about the power of quitting and how to reframe quitting in your mind in order to step into growth in a more intentional way.\xa0\n\nLink mentioned:\nJoin my business training: Build Your Courageous & Confident CEO Blueprint: shamelessmom.com/ceo\n\n\n\nSponsor info and promo codes:\n\nPlease find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?\xa0Email our sales team at sales@adalystmedia.com\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
