Description

We’re diving into the real reason you feel stuck—and it’s not your ex, your job, or your dating life. It’s the story your brain is telling you on repeat.

Quinn shares a deeply personal moment with her ex-husband that triggered a cascade of thoughts… and how she used it as a powerful teaching moment. You'll learn how your brain is wired to protect you—not empower you—and what to do about it.

This episode will show you how to:

  • Tell the difference between facts and the story your brain is spinning
  • Recognize when your brain is being a lazy little liar
  • Spot and interrupt confirmation bias (aka the Inner Mean Girl)
  • Practice new, bold beliefs (even before you feel ready)
  • Sit with discomfort and still move forward
  • Steal confidence from one part of your life and use it somewhere scary

If you've ever wondered, "What if I'm just being delusional?" — this episode is your permission slip to believe the wild, juicy, freedom-filled version of your story.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • [01:20 ] A tense moment with her ex—and why it’s not the facts that matter
  • [07:40 ] How your brain filters reality like a shady Instagram lens
  • [12:10 ] What pattern-seeking has to do with trauma and safety
  • [19:45 ] Why your brain would rather be right than happy
  • [25:00 ] The mental friction of believing something new (and why it’s worth it)
  • [30:30 ] Two practical tools to rewire your beliefs
  • [35:00 ] A loving kick in the ass for anyone afraid of “being wrong”
