La Llorona - Sunk Costs and Quitting - EP 11

When my truck breaks down on the way home, a dangerous encounter with a woman in white puts my sons lives in jeopardy... For this episode I wanted to celebrate one of my favorite ghost stories of all time, La Llorona, hailing from Latin America.  After discussing the sociopolitical ramifications of this story, I dive into the idea of quitting something.  We often see quitting as a negative thing, but I dive into sunk costs and how quitting things might actually be the best thing you can do sometimes.   Mark your calendars for Inner Monster Mondays for new episodes every week, or sign up here for email notifications! ------------ Show notes:  Theme music, "The (Un)Caged Butterfly", and "IV.
