b"How do you decide when it\\u2019s time to leave a place or a relationship behind? \\nWe have to make decisions all the time. Yet most of us struggle with it. It\\u2019s hard to leave something (or someone) behind. It\\u2019s also hard to give ourselves the time that we need to wrestle with the decision.\\nWhen you don\\u2019t have a process, you might be tempted to avoid decision-making. Or you might rush too quickly into a decision that isn\\u2019t quite right. That\\u2019s why I\\u2019m thrilled to have this conversation with Emily P. Freeman this week. It\\u2019s such a rich conversation about how to discern when it\\u2019s time to walk away and what to do when it's time to enter into a new space. Here\\u2019s what we cover:\\n1. The truth about tiny red flags (11:29)\\n2. 4 crucial questions to ask yourself (13:40)\\n3. What to do with those 51/49 decisions (20:13)\\n4.
