158. What It’s Really Like to Solo Travel as a Therapist with Brenda Quinn


Listen Later

Solo travel as a therapist comes with unique challenges—and incredible rewards. From navigating time zones to finding the perfect work-from-anywhere setup, taking your therapy practice on the road solo requires flexibility, creativity, and courage. But it can also lead to the kind of freedom and fulfillment many therapists only dream about.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Brenda Quinn, a licensed therapist and former flight attendant who has embraced solo travel as a therapist. Brenda shares how she created a mobile lifestyle that blends remote therapy sessions, in-person client work, and a love of exploring the world—on a budget. From building her home office to discovering unexpected income opportunities through travel perks, Brenda offers an honest and inspiring look at what it really takes to live and work on your own terms.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • How Brenda transitioned from flight attendant to full-time traveling therapist
  • Her approach to balancing in-person and virtual therapy work
  • Creative ways to save money and travel more—without sacrificing comfort
  • How her home office and work setup support life on the go
  • Encouragement for therapists who want to break out of the traditional model
