Transcript

In this powerful episode of the Exit to Next It Podcast, I sit down with my sister-in-love, friend, and powerhouse of faith, Chequetta Withers, aka The Uprise Coach.

🎙️ This isn’t just another convo about quitting your job. It’s about exiting for God, before you ever exit for your goals.

We dive deep into:

What it means to trust God with no blueprint
The divine timing of her exit (yes, she was literally fired minutes after deciding she wasn’t going back)
Grieving identity, rebuilding legacy, and walking through the messy middle with clarity and courage

🔍 What We Talk About:

The exact moment Chequetta knew her 9 to 5 was over—and what God confirmed right after
Wrestling with self-worth and the tension of starting over
Parenting through transition and being coached by her own son
Building a coaching brand with obedience as the foundation
Why your legacy is rooted in who sent you, not what you produce
Moving even when you don’t have full vision

💬 Key Quotes

"Before I exited for my next, I had to exit for God."
"I didn’t have a plan, but I had clarity. And sometimes, that’s all God gives."
"God didn’t create anything empty. What you need is already inside of you."
"Trusting God isn’t just words. Trusting God is action."
"My clarity came through identity."
