55: Doing Nothing IS a Decision

In this episode, Quinn celebrates the end of a school year and reflects on the growth that comes from choosing courage over comfort. They dive deep into what it really costs us—emotionally, spiritually, and practically—when we don’t take action toward the lives we say we want.

Drawing on Tony Robbins’ powerful Dickens Process, Jocko Willink’s concept of Extreme Ownership, and the heroine’s journey framework, this episode is your wake-up call to do the hard thing. Whether it’s leaving your house, setting a boundary, calling the therapist, or daring to dream again—inaction is not neutral. It’s a choice. And it has a price.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Quinn’s post-divorce journey and what it really takes to rebuild a life
• The emotional toll of staying stuck—and how our brains crave integrity
• Why doing nothing is still making a choice (and it’s rarely the right one)
• The heroine’s journey: from loss to initiation to becoming your future self
• How discomfort is the way, not the obstacle
• Why we need micro courage to change our lives
• How to shift from waiting for the “right time” to taking right action
• A journaling prompt to help you take your next brave step

Mic-drop moments:

“Comfort is a lie. It drains the color from your life.”
 “Doing nothing is deciding against your future self.”
 “Hard is the baseline. You just get to choose what kind of hard.”
 “The reward of action is self-respect.”

Journal prompt from the episode:
✨ What is one hard thing I can do today that my future self will thank me for?
