When you hear the word vacation, what pops into your head? Poolside margaritas? A sandy beach at sunset? For a lot of us travel plans live somewhere between magical and overwhelming with a list of to-dos.


Today we're meeting a mom who changes the game when it comes to making your travel dreams come true. She gives moms a chance to build memories without the mental load of planning. From overwhelmed to excited, from stress to ease, from dreaming to doing.

In a few sentences, how would you describe what you do?

I am a Travel Agency owner. We specialize in All things Beach Vacations, Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, Cruises, Ireland, Italy and Greece. 


How does this work align with what matters most to you right now?

At this stage of my life and career, my work aligns with how I love to live my life. As a business owner, I value the flexibility to build something meaningful while also enjoying the freedom that comes with being an empty nester. Travel is no longer something I fit in around life, it is part of how I live, grow and learn. 


Equally important, I find deep fulfillment in helping others experience the trips they have dreamed about for years. Guiding clients through their bucket-list journeys allows me to combine expertise, service, and genuine connection, and that purpose is what continues to motivate and inspire me every day.


What are you currently prioritizing more of?

Currently I am focusing on my health, eating well and staying active. 

In my business right now, I am highly focused on refining my workflows and implementing more automation. My goal is to create systems that support efficiency, consistency, and a high-touch client experience, while also being intentional about how my time is spent. By closely tracking and evaluating where my time goes. 


This focus allows me to operate more strategically, lead my team effectively, and continue delivering a premium level of service without sacrificing balance or flexibility.


What are you intentionally saying no to right now?

Here are a few random ones; Staying up late,  too many unnecessary meetings and planning trips that are not my specialty!
