Is there something in your life you already know isn’t working—but you keep trying to make it work anyway? In this episode, Rachel dives into the psychology behind why we stay stuck in relationships, careers, and situations long after we know they’re wrong. It’s called the sunk cost fallacy, the belief that we should keep investing in something simply because of how much we’ve already put into it. If you’ve ever struggled to walk away from something that no longer serves you, this honest, tough-love conversation will help you rethink what it really means to let go and why your future might depend on it.
