Description
Welcome to Breakthroughs & Bubbles, hosted by life & mindset coach for ambitious women, Courtney Quinn. This is a podcast for ambitious women and female entrepreneurs who are looking to breakthrough to their next level in life and business so they can achieve their wildest dreams, while feeling the most aligned and alive in their life. I believe more than anything that to reach our goals and not just change things on the outside, but the INSIDE, we have to consistently come back to connecting to ourselves, work on SHIFTING the beliefs and mindset we are carrying, and MOVE with aligned action to be working our way up the stair case. Join me every week as we go DEEP, chatting all things mindset, personal growth, well being, what it takes to really make your dreams your reality, the WILD RIDE that entrepreneurship really is, and celebrating everything in between. Think of it like you are at brunch with your biz besties sipping a mimosa and when you leave you are READY to take on the world, and know exactly what you need to do to make that happen. So let’s dive in Queen….

So many women quit right before the thing they’ve been working toward finally clicks. In this episode, I’m sharing a real client case study that perfectly illustrates what I see over and over again in my work with high-achieving women: goals are often achieved in the final moments, not because things suddenly get easier — but because the woman becomes someone who can hold the discomfort longer. We talk about what actually comes up in those final weeks before a breakthrough: the mindset wobble...
What does it really take to build a business before you feel “ready”… and keep going when life throws everything at you at once?? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Tianna, founder of TE Media Creations, to unpack her journey from freelancing while in school to building a full-time creative business — one that ultimately led her to Paris Fashion Week. Tianna opens up about the year that almost broke her. Navigating emergency surgery, toxic work environments, self-doubt, and the qu...
So many people think vision boards (that work) just require you to cut out some cute pictures, or paste your dream life off Pinterest, and wait for it to happen. But if that were true then so many vision boards wouldn't be collecting dust while NOTHING changes. In this episode I am diving into some misconceptions about vision boards and why they often DON'T work, and how you can instead get them to start working for you. I explore how the subconscious plays a huge role in whether it will be s...
In this powerful solo episode, Courtney breaks down the 5 quiet POWER moves that will completely shift the trajectory of who you are and what you create in 2026 — the ones that most women overlook because they’re subtle… but they’re the reason your results explode. And no, this isn’t about hustling harder, doing more, or burning yourself into the ground. These shifts work because they create identity-level expansion. The kind that compounds like interest and upgrades every area of your ...
You asked me, I asked him. I will preface this with the sound is not perfect, it will be very up and down, and we did our best with one microphone, okay?! I asked on my IG stories what questions you would want me to ask Kelsey, my husband, if I were to bring him on the pod and you guys DELIVERED. We go from talking about if I coach him in our marriage, to his hot take on electric vehicles in this climate, and him turning it around to ask me questions at the end. Pull up a seat because this on...
In this episode, I’m diving deep into the top 3 aha moments / reflections that hit me this past weekend at the Small Biz Speed Dating event — after leading a mini mindset workshop and connecting with over 30 incredible entrepreneurs. We’ll explore the power of showing up fully, making bold decisions, and why sometimes stepping back to the fundamentals — simple mindset practices, human connection, and presence — is exactly what propels your business and personal growth forward. If you’ve ever ...
If you’ve ever said, “I just need more time… more energy… a better strategy…” — this episode is your wake-up call. These are just surface level stories and limiting beliefs. The work that I do helps my client's get right past those and to the ROOT of the problem behind that beleif. And that's exactly what I am sharing with you in today's episode. I am breaking down the REAL reason you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or are essentially bottlenecking yourself when it comes to your goals. Plus, I share...
In this episode I am talking about the sneakiest place that people will get stuck moving towards what they want and change in general. I dive into WHAT this sneaky trap really is, and how it can show up in your life as other things such as procrastination, satisfaction illusion, or resistance, and WHY this is quietly keeping you from your next level breakthrough. Inside you'll hear: 💭 Why your brain clings to this sneaky block even when your heart is craving more. 🔥 How to create ...
How do you improve your self worth? A powerful question I received last week that I HAD to dive deeper into on the pod. You can have the strategy, the drive, the vision, and still feel stuck. Most of the time the reason you feel that way is because your subconscious doesn't believe you are worthy of having it. So, how do you improve it? That's exactly what I break down in this episode. If you’ve ever found yourself overworking to prove yourself, holding back from showing up fully, or chasing ...
You’ve read the books, written the affirmations, and told yourself you “just need to think more positive thoughts”… but it's not working. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why mindset work isn't just "thinking positive thoughts" and giving you a few of my favourite tools that I use for myself and my clients to help rewire our thoughts. I’ll walk you through the 4 powerful tools and WHY I love them so much - so you can start trying one today and begin embodying the version...
What if I told you… it’s not your strategy, your (lack of) time, or energy — it’s your mindset? In this episode, I’m calling out the five clear signs that your mindset is what’s actually keeping you from your next level self. These are the patterns high-achieving women fall into over and over again. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing the results you want… this episode will hit home. I’ll walk you through how to spot these subconscious blocks, why t...
You open Instagram to post… and five minutes later, you’re spiralling. Wondering why she’s growing faster, making more, or already where you want to be. You start asking yourself, "What's wrong with ME?" If this sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this solo episode I break down the truth about comparison, and HOW to stop making other's success mean something about you. This shift in how you compare will change the trajectory of your results in life and business. Let's turn that envy ...
This episode feels a little like cracking open my journal. I say "like" wayyyy too many times. It's messy AF. It's just me looking at my journal riffing on the things I have been journalling on personally in the last week, if I am totally honest. In this episode I share my own personal breakthroughs in the last week or so, permission slips I am giving myself, navigating discomfort, and what the edge of your breakthroughs REALLY feel and look like. It's kind of a "life of a life coach" episode...
Everyone loves the before-and-after moment — the big reveal, the highlight reel, the success story. But what about the messy middle? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why transformation in business, mindset, and even fitness is never as linear as it looks online… and why that’s actually good news for you. If you have ever felt like your progress is two steps back, especially in your personal growth journey, I’m breaking down the messy, non-linear curve of transformation—a...
I know it. You know it. There are 90 (ish) days left in 2025 and we are going to hear A LOT of talk about how to make it count and "finish the year strong". Maybe that inspires you, or maybe it makes you want to hide in a hole. Either way I see you, and I know this episode is going to be helpful for you if you want SOMETHING for yourself out of the last quarter of the year. Because honestly, you deserve it, too. 90 days is not "almost over" its 2160 waking hours to completely shift the...
Ever find yourself spiraling in the tug-of-war between “I need to push through and just get it done” and “I should just rest”? You’re not alone. This question of "do I push or do I pause ?" is one that SO many high achieving women struggle with for a few reasons. (Which I will dive into!) In this solo episode, I get deep about this challenge that so many high achieving women are facing - and that is also holding them back from moving closer towards their goals. When is it time to power throug...
Ever feel like you’re overflowing with potential… but somehow your results don’t reflect it? Or maybe you ALWAYS have these amazing ideas, but you don't follow through on them or they don't turn into income or impact? That gap isn’t laziness, it’s what I call leaking. (High achievers LOVE to think they are lazy as soon as they aren't doing anything!) In this episode, I break down why high-achieving women end up stuck in overwhelm, burnout, and avoidance — and how it’s literally your brain pro...
Ever had that moment in your business where you're in tears, Googling 9-5 jobs because the thought of clocking in at Starbucks and not having to worry about anything almost feels like freedom? Yeah, me too. This month marks 9 years in business for me, and if there’s one truth I’ve learned, it’s this: wanting to burn it all down doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re growing. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the times I’ve been this close to quitting, the shame and self-...
From shrinking herself to “that b*tch” lawyer — Monica Ishak’s story is one for every ambitious woman who’s ever doubted if she’s “enough" or feared what happened when she followed her true desires. In this episode, Monica opens up about her path from running a successful wedding planning company to chasing the corporate girlie path as a lawyer only to realize having it all, wasn't really "it ALL". What followed was a journey of risk-taking, identity shifts, and deciding to own her unapologet...
The reason you’re not where you want to be in your business (or any goal if I am being honest!) ? It’s not the algorithm. It’s not because you need a new strategy or another course. And it’s definitely not because you don’t work hard enough (we both know you’re basically a machine). In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the invisible limits that are secretly holding you back. I’ll show you why you keep getting stuck, what needs to shift if you actually want your results to fe...
