In this re-drop episode of The No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie sits down with April Peter, founder of The Vacay Way LLC, who built a $600K+ travel business in under 15 months… while simultaneously working full-time as an RN, homeschooling her daughter, caring for her mom, and managing ADHD and anxiety.

And no, she didn’t do it by working 24/7.

April shares what it actually looked like to move from imposter syndrome into CEO mode — including the mindset shifts, systems, boundaries, and marketing strategies that completely changed her business.

From charging fees and controlling her calendar to using TikTok as a luxury lead machine, this conversation is packed with practical reminders for advisors who are tired of hustle culture but still want serious growth.
