New, Fried, and People‑Pleasing? This Episode Is Your Intervention

Marcie KNOWS how it feels to be new, make mistakes, and wonder what you are missing as you navigate this wily world of travel. If you are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or questioning every “yes” as a new travel advisor….this is definitely for you. Even if you are a veteran, you will find the “aha moments.” 

In this episode of the No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie gets brutally honest about launching a revamped Do The Damn Air and being totally over hearing the sound of her own voice, hitting her own burnout wall, and watching new advisors drown in trips they never should have taken in the first place. She is also coming to realize she may have made some mistakes in her content the last year… and what she is doing to meet ICs where they are to find a good small-to-mid-sized agency DESPITE what the haters think. It’s all about pivoting, knowing your part in your own journey, taking responsibility, and how to close the gap that you were a part of creating. It’s never too late for a change.

She shares:

If you’re a new or growing travel advisor who feels like you’re supposed to “just figure it out,” this is your reminder that you are allowed to say no, slow down, and build a business that doesn’t burn you out.
