Introducing...Should I Quit?

About this episode

When Eleanor got married, she took her husband’s last name. Now, nineteen years and three kids later, she’s working on a PhD. The PhD feels separate from her family life, something she’s doing just for herself. And so she’s started to wonder: Do I want to get this PhD under my married name? Or would it feel more ‘me’ to get it under my maiden name?  The Real Question is a show that holds space for life’s tough questions. This season, they're looking specifically at questions of quitting. When is it time to quit something, and when should you stick with it? On today's TBAS, we're featuring an episode of The Real Question where host Vanessa Zoltan and Eleanor explore the power of names and what it means to feel like ‘you’ and be a mother at the same time.  --- Help Zak continue making this show by becoming a Best Advice Show Patron @ https://www.patreon.com/bestadviceshow --- Fill out the TBAS listener survey to help Zak get to know you better. https://forms.gle/f1HxJ45Df4V3m2Dg9 --- Call Zak on the advice show hotline @ 844-935-BEST or email him a voice-memo at [email protected] this episode on IG @BestAdviceShow Learn more about your ad choices.
