Bitch, I Quit
45 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago -Bitch, I Quit breaks down professional development challenges we all face, debunks myths that may be holding you back and empowers listeners through resolutions and round table discussions with real life bosses! The podcast is based off of the method written in the book, BYOB Revolt: a self help / career advancement guide to be your own boss. The phrase "B*tch, I Quit!" is Jennifer's way of telling everyone she's fed up with the status quo. What exactly did she quit? She quit living in a box. She quit wearing professional costumes. She quit following the tired rules of the professional world. And she quit apologizing for it! (Still slips up from time to time, we're all a work in progress!)
