When you’ve always been the straight-A student, quitting feels like a character flaw – not a decision.
In this episode, my friend Jennifer Ho turns the tables and interviews me. We go through my three-page resume and look for everything it doesn’t show: the shame of quitting law school, my mum telling me I needed to “bring harmony back into the family,” and then quitting a PhD years later – terrified of becoming a two-time quitter.
This is a conversation about high-functioning doubt, outsourcing your identity to systems, and how I eventually stopped making decisions based on what would make me look good – and started making ones I could actually stand behind.
