Mindset, abundance, and self-trust aren’t “nice to have” — they’re the foundation of a sustainable travel advisor business.
In this episode of the No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie gets deeply personal about burnout, imposter syndrome, and the mindset shifts that allowed her to rebuild her business from the inside out.
After years of high sales, long hours, and constant pressure, Marcie realized that success without abundance leads straight to burnout. She shares how shifting away from scarcity, competition, and self-punishment helped her create a six-figure commission business — while working fewer hours and selling less gross travel than ever before.
This episode is for travel advisors who are building, rebuilding, or pivoting and want to:
• Stop comparing themselves to others
• Release imposter syndrome
• Set boundaries without guilt
• Trust themselves again
• Build a business that fits their real life
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but still exhausted, this conversation will hit home.
You’ll learn:
• Why high sales don’t equal success
• How an abundance mindset actually works (without toxic positivity)
• Why comparison creates decision paralysis
• How to set boundaries without guilt
• Why belief matters more than pretending
• How Marcie built six-figure commissions working fewer hours
Marcie shares real stories from her career, including how scarcity thinking, competition, and imposter syndrome impacted her confidence — and how an abundance mindset helped her rebuild with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust.
This lesson encourages travel advisors to define success on their own terms, take action despite fear, and stop measuring their worth by sales alone.
