In this episode of the No BS Travel Advisor podcast, Marcie Muensterman sits down with Natasha, the owner of Serenity Sand and Seas Travel, to talk about what it actually looks like to transition into the travel industry, without the bullshit.

Natasha shares her journey from nursing to travel advising and how she built her business through relationships, intentional changes, and learning to trust herself along the way.

But this isn’t just a “success story.”

It’s a conversation about grief, growth, and the moments where you either stay stuck… or finally decide to do something different.

✈️ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What it really looks like to transition careers into travel advising
  • Why relationship-building still drives the most growth in this industry
  • The small shifts that can drastically improve your client experience (hint: Zoom calls matter more than you think)
  • How personal challenges and grief can impact your business, and how to keep moving forward
  • Why niche specialization is key if you want to stand out
  • How to confidently say no to the wrong clients
  • When it’s time to hire support and stop doing everything yourself

🔥 Real Talk Moments:

  • “I see you everywhere!”
  • “You just have to do it.”
  • “It’s okay to say no.”

🧠 Why This Episode Matters:

If you’ve been feeling stuck… overwhelmed… or like you know what you need to do but just haven’t done it yet,  this episode is your reminder:

You don’t need more information.
You need implementation.

Natasha didn’t grow her business by doing more, she grew by doing things differently.
