In this re-drop episode of The No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie sits down with Siobhan Reeser from Siren's Call Travel to talk about what it really looks like to build a travel business while juggling motherhood, marriage, burnout, ambition, and real life.
Before entering the travel industry, Siobhan worked as a paramedic, and after becoming a mom, she realized she wanted a life with more flexibility, freedom, and presence for her family.
What followed was not a perfectly polished entrepreneurial journey.
It was messy. Emotional. Honest. And incredibly relatable.
This conversation dives into balancing work and family life, setting boundaries, learning to say no, and why vulnerability in your business can become your greatest strength.
