Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
 “I’ll finally be okay when he apologizes.”
 “I’ll feel whole when I meet the right person.”
 “I just need closure…”

That, my friend, is what we call a healing fantasy—and this week’s episode is all about busting that myth wide open.

In this raw and revealing solo episode, Quinn explores the healing fantasy trap so many of us fall into post-divorce. Through personal stories, client breakthroughs, and the wisdom of thought leaders like Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, and Brené Brown, you'll uncover why waiting for external validation, rescue, or resolution delays your true healing.

Quinn walks you through how to step out of the fantasy and into your real power—right here, right now.

In this episode, we explore:

💔 What the "healing fantasy" is and why it keeps you stuck
 🔄 How we unconsciously delay our healing by waiting for someone else to change
 🧠 The real reason your ex’s apology wouldn’t actually change anything
 🪞 Why The Notebook is a dangerous lie—and Eat Pray Love is your new truth
🧘🏽‍♀️ Three practices to reclaim your present power: presence, vulnerability, and courage
💪 A five-step framework to begin healing right now
🎯 Client stories that show the difference between fantasy and true transformation

Power Quotes from the Episode:

“The healing fantasy is putting your happiness on layaway—hoping someone else will come along and pay it off. But the only person who can claim it is you.”

“You don’t heal when your life gets easy. You heal when you do the hard things and stay soft anyway.”

“If you’ve been waiting for someone to come rescue you, go to the mirror. That’s the face of your rescuer.”

Listener Challenge:

What’s your healing fantasy?
 Where are you waiting for something outside of you to fix something inside?

This week, call it out—and take one brave action to shift back into the present.
