One year and 50 episodes of Build Your Own Fairytale! To celebrate, I pulled together a handful of my favorite moments from this past year. 

If you’ve been here since day one, I hope these highlights serve as a reminder of some of the new habits or mindset you’ve adopted. And if you’re new here, this will give you a flavor for the fabulous conversations we have on the show. Either way, this short and sweet episode is sure to put a smile on your face.  

This podcast has pushed me in ways I could not have imagined when I began; I’ve grown personally and professionally and on top of it all, have made some amazing friends along the way.

My wish is to build and inspire a community of women who dream big, take action and never settle for anything less than the fairytale. And I am grateful to have you by my side on this journey.

Courtney Quinn knew she wanted to have the flexibility and freedom that came from being a business owner someday, but as a college student, she diligently followed the traditional path. 

She landed what she thought would be her dream job - consulting at an accounting firm - but knew almost instantly this was most definitely NOT her dream. She left corporate and after a brief stint with multilevel marketing AND a global pandemic, Courtney had what she considers her quarter life crisis. That’s when she realized all her experiences made her well-equipped to help others manage their social media - all while being a work from home dog mom!

Today, Courtney is the owner and operator of Quinn Creative Co, a digital marketing agency that supports business owners through social media management, social media strategy, paid ads, web design and influencer management. She’s since worked with dozens of brands and individuals, helping them increase their web traffic, followers and engagement. 

Courtney shares her story of how she made it here; one as she says, “didn’t have a safety net” and required her to be creative and get gritty.
