This week's episode is a little bit of a plot twist as Katie turns the tables and allows someone else to ask the questions. And who better to do that than Katie's trusted friend, Stephanie Ganser. As we kick off a series about quitting and saying no to resilience simply for the sake of being resilient, Katie felt it was time to share a bit about her story. Listen in as Katie shares her experience with quitting career fields (twice in a decade) and how she's learned the importance of writing her own permission slips.

This episode is an intro to a series of episodes to come in the next few weeks. While listening to another episode recently, they briefly touched on the topic of "saying no to resilience". Essentially they were advocating that sometimes we should tell society no on the expectation they have of us to push through and walk way from something for sake of our own joy or mental health. They only talked about it for a few brief moments before moving on. In that moment, a podcast series idea was born in Katie's head. Listen to this week's quick intro to learn more and then stay tuned in the next few weeks for ways The Rest of Us say no to resilience.

In this week's episode, Katie shares a portion of the interview with Agnes Krahn that was edited out of their interview that released in January (see episode 9) about the concept of the soul child. This conversation with Agnes came to mind during a trip to Charleston, SC this past weekend and Katie felt compelled to share it with the rest of us now. In this episode, Katie and Agnes both share a portion about their soul child and Katie invites each of us to reflect on our own.
