This episode is part anniversary reflection, part business intervention.

On her 19th wedding anniversary, Marcie Muensterman draws a bold parallel between marriage and building a travel business. Because here’s the truth: you cannot build long-term success with casual ass energy.

If you want commitment-level results, you need commitment-level standards.

In this episode, Marcie talks about:

  • The difference between dating your business and being married to it
  • Why burnout is often a boundary problem
  • How toxic host relationships mirror unhealthy partnerships
  • The danger of 16-hour workdays
  • Why six-figure travel advisors don’t operate like employees
  • The symbolism of the Year of the Horse (momentum, stamina, independence)
  • How to reset your business without burning it down
  • The real reason you’re stuck (and how to fix it)
  • This is not fluffy motivation. This is accountability wrapped in love.

    If you’ve been:

    • Working nonstop and feeling resentful
    • Afraid to leave a bad host
    • Scared to charge fees
    • Hoping someone else fixes your business

    • This episode is your wake-up call.

      💌 Homework Assignment:
      Write a love letter to your future CEO self. Seal it. Open it one year from now.

      Because long-game energy builds long-term wealth.
