Description

why do we hold on, even when things stop serving us?


from degrees we no longer use to jobs that drain us and relationships that don’t nourish, this episode unpacks the sunk cost fallacy. it’s that quiet pull to stay just because of how much we’ve already given.


Pelumi and Ibukun share honest stories, pivots, and what it means to walk away, stay, or rebuild with intention, alongside navigating the aftermath of your decision.
