and i am on a mission to redefine what it means to be a travel advisor.
I am THE "tell it like it is" Travel Advisor Coach, and I spill the tea on the travel industry. The "Clear is kind" advice-giver. Host of the No BS Travel Advisor® Podcast. A wife, mom of 2 teenagers (who drive!), and an ADHD burnout survivor.
If you just signed a contract or are considering becoming a travel agent.... There is SO MUCH TO KNOW! Way more than you think. I am not a recruiter or MLM "boss babe." I am a 20-year veteran sales expert and mentor to TAs, who need ACTUAL help.
Hosts vs. travel agency owners vs. being independent, 1099 IC, LLCs, commission splits (that should start at 70/30), certifications, vendor trainings, CRMs, and suppliers… How do you even start to build a successful travel business, and what do all these acronyms mean?
Here’s the truth:
Most new travel agents waste months (or years) piecing together free advice from the most random sources.
That’s not you. You want to start strong, make money faster, and skip the rookie mistakes that kill momentum. That’s why I built "The No BS Guide to Becoming a Travel Advisor." It's a straight-shooting, step-by-step course on the ins and outs of launching your TA business the smart way.
Sending multi-day itineraries for "just curious" prospects that leave you on read in the DMs.
Chasing leads that ghost you.
Accepted a 60/40 commission split (ouch).
Discounting your fees (or not charging at all - YIKES).
This industry doesn’t need another smiling, over-accommodating, people-pleasing advisor with a roster full of tire kickers.
It needs women who are service-first closers, who demand respect with their boundaries, who book like badasses, and who don't bend to every low-budget whim.
You started your travel business for freedom, money, and a legacy your kids can’t ignore. But somewhere along the way, you got distracted. Shiny classes you invested in that never taught you how to fucking convert. MLM recruiters and 60/40 commission from theme-park agencies are convincing you that they are the "only way to do this job." Clients are treating you like Expedia, and that toxic little voice whispering, “You should just be grateful."
Um, no. That outdated shit is unwelcome here.
I teach travel advisors how to build high-profit, no-compromise businesses that don’t require begging, burnout, or bending over backward for broke-ass strangers on the internet.
I am obsessed with sharing everything I know. Absolutely no gatekeeping or "professional" bullshit. Why? Because I know that you traded your dreams of freedom in this career for a 24/7 hustle. I also know that the internet is full of outdated advice from SOME agency owners who just pretend to care.
It’s about partnering with the right host AND aligned clients, delivering real value, and having everything you want! I know you! You may be an ADHD woman who is caretaking AND trying to build a business. You desire more income, fewer hours, and unshakable boundaries. Let's get you the freedom without a laptop chained to your carry-on every time you travel.
If that makes you clutch your pearls (especially the cussing)...? You’re not ready for my space, and that's A-OK.
But if it hits you in the gut and lights a fire? LFGoooo.
If you're undercharging for your services, sticking it out with a shitty host, or chasing every lead because you have zero standards, it's time to level up.
My “No Bullshit Guide to Your Week ”emails deliver weekly strategies to help you charge fees, sell high-ticket vacations, and understand your business bank account, PLUS you’ll get exclusive access to my best tips, offers, personal stories, book club details, and first dibs on my 1:1 coaching calls.
I’ve spent nearly 20 years building custom, high-ticket vacations and running a business that doesn’t own me. Now I teach other advisors how to do the same.
This isn’t your typical, sugarcoated circle, giving outdated, shitty advice. I keep it real. I cuss a lot. And I WILL call out the way you’ve been doing this all wrong,
because I’ve lived it.
I cuss a lot, and I get right to the point. But I feel everything, and I care deeply. I built this business with a hypersensitive heart and a spine of steel, because I know what it’s like not to be seen, not to be invited, and to be completely underestimated.
I built my own fucking table, and I'm so glad YOU are here.
Unless you're going to send me a stupid ass email about how you don’t like my cussing.
