Summary
If you have ever found yourself at that edge where it feels like you either quit or break through, this conversation is for you. I sit down with my client, Chris Donohoe, after he sent me an email with the subject line "Quit or Breakthrough?" and we unpack what was really happening underneath that moment.
We talk about the fantasy of quitting, how black and white thinking turns normal obstacles into a breaking point, and why scaling can require a level of emotional regulation and identity work that most coaches do not expect when they decide to grow. If you are in the messy middle right now, this is the episode to come back to when your brain starts offering you an exit instead of the next step.

| 0:19.2 | Hi, coaches. Welcome to episode 376. I have the most fun and also deeply important topic to talk about |
| 0:29.4 | today. I have one of my clients, Chris Donahoe, on the episode to interview on a topic that I've |
| 0:37.1 | been thinking about for quite a while in my own |
| 0:40.2 | personal journey, but then when Chris wrote me an email with the subject line, quit or |
| 0:46.8 | breakthrough, it really has had me like nonstop thinking about this idea and the line between quitting and breaking through. |
| 0:57.6 | So I've asked Chris to come on the podcast today. Say hello, everyone, Chris. |
| 1:03.1 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. So here's how we're going to start. This is what I've |

| 1:12.1 | We're going to start by, I'm going to read some of the email exchange that Chris and I had when he sent me this message, quit or breakthrough. |
| 1:20.5 | And then we're going to talk about the aftermath, which spoil alert is really amazing. Really good. Chris is in a great spot |
| 1:31.7 | since this email, which is also why he's being so generous and allowing us to kind of see |
| 1:36.2 | the inside of his brain when he was in this place of quitting or breaking through. And I think |
| 1:41.3 | what you're going to hear is going to resonate so deeply |
| 1:44.5 | with experiences that maybe you have had that have made you feel like you're at your breaking |
| 1:49.8 | point. And I want this podcast. My intention is that it lives on forever for every coach who is in a |
| 1:56.6 | moment where they are either breaking down or breaking through, where they can come back to this |
| 2:02.9 | episode and use Chris, use my story, use this exchange, use this conversation to propel them |
| 2:11.1 | into the breakthrough and keep them from quitting. So this is my goal with this episode. It's a |
