E50 Join the Quitters Club: How Quitting on Purpose Makes Your Life Bigger, Not Smaller
Lead with Spark · 2026-05-27 · 18 min
Episode notes
What if the most powerful leadership move you could make right now had nothing to do with adding something new to your life, and everything to do with quitting something that has quietly been draining it? Lynsey Mulder just finished a book about a group of friends who made a pact. They called themselves the Quitters Club. And the concept stopped her cold, because every single woman she has ever coached has needed one. She just did not know she was allowed to join. In this episode of Lead with Spark, Lynsey makes the case for quitting on purpose, not your job, not your marriage, not anything dramatic, but the smaller, quieter things you have been doing on autopilot that are slowly draining the life out of you while you pretend they are important. She shares six things she personally quit after reading the book, three signs it is time to quit something in your own life, and a surprisingly simple tool from the end of the book that will tell you how you already feel about any decision you have been agonizing over. Because quitting did not shrink Lynsey's life. It expanded it. And it might do the same for yours.
