Why This Is So Hard (And Why Most People Quit) | Part 2

About this episode

Dr. Amy Parks discusses the challenges of leadership and the importance of commitment in difficult times.

“It would be really easy to just quit.” In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Amy Parks shares what it actually takes to build something meaningful — especially when it feels hard, unclear, or easier to walk away. From making ethical decisions to refusing to build something at the expense of others, this episode explores the real challenges behind leadership, supervision, and staying committed when things get difficult. Dr. Amy also breaks down why supervisors are often the most unsupported role in the clinical system — despite being responsible for developing the next generation of clinicians. If you’ve ever felt like quitting because something got too hard, this conversation will resonate. This is Part 2 of a two-part episode.
