Leaving this cold Maine weather for the warmth and sunshine of Florida!

Can’t wait to relax, recharge, and spend time with family!! ☀️🌴

🎉 Happy 13th Birthday, Aubrey! 🎉

I can’t believe we officially have a teenager in the house! Watching you grow into the young woman you’re becoming has been such a gift. You have the biggest heart, the sweetest spirit, and you truly make everything brighter just by being you.

Thank you for being the best big sister—our little ones look up to you more than you know. The way you love, help, and lead with kindness makes our family better every single day.

I’m so proud of who you are and all the amazing things ahead of you. Never stop shining, dreaming big, and being unapologetically yourself.

We love you so much—happy birthday, Aubrey! 💕
Here’s to teenage years and all the magic to come.

✨ Officially Certified! ✨
I just wrapped up the Celebrity Cruises Learning Program and earned my certificate as a Celebrity specialist!
One of my favorite parts about being an advisor through InteleTravel is the opportunity to complete an unlimited amount of trainings and certifications with different travel partners. Every program I complete gives me deeper insight into specific destinations, cruise lines, resorts, and travel brands—so I can serve clients with real expertise, not guesses.
This Celebrity training covered everything from ship classes and itineraries to onboard experiences, dining, and the unique luxury touches that set Celebrity apart. I cannot wait to help plan dream sailings for 2025 and beyond!
If you’ve been considering a cruise—girls trip, family vacation, honeymoon, or just because—drop a 🌊 and I’ll send options!

When I first started this business, I was so focused on the “why.”
Why am I doing this?
Why do I want more?
Why does something feel missing?

And the truth is… most people have a why.
A why to change.
A why to do better.
A why to create more for their family, their future, their life.

But nothing shifts… because a WHY alone doesn’t move you.
It doesn’t hold you accountable.
It doesn’t ignite you every single morning.

What changed everything for me was shifting my focus from “Why am I doing this?” to “Who do I want to become in this world?”

That’s when the vision became real.
When I could see the woman I want to be—
The one who shows up for her family,
The one who builds something of her own,
The one who refuses to settle,
The one who creates a life with freedom, joy, and purpose…
That’s when everything started falling into place.

I’m no longer driven by pressure—
I’m pulled forward by the vision of who I’m becoming.

So let me ask you this:
✨ What is the vision you’ve created for yourself?
✨ Who are you becoming?
✨ And what steps are you taking—tiny or big—to move toward that version of you?

You deserve to step into that next-level version of yourself.
It starts with a vision… and the courage to walk toward it. 💛

⸻

✨ If you’ve ever dreamed of earning more, traveling more, or just having the freedom to design a life that feels GOOD… this is for you. ✨

I’m hosting a quick info call on Monday at 7pm EST to share how I was able to step into the travel industry with no prior experience and start creating an additional stream of income around my family, my 9–5, and the things I love most.

If you’ve been feeling:
✔️ Ready for a change
✔️ Curious about earning on your own trips
✔️ Wanting more freedom + flexibility
✔️ Looking for something FUN and meaningful
✔️ Or simply wanting to explore a new opportunity…

Then you’ll want to RSVP and save your spot.

This is NOT a pressure call — just a chance to see what’s possible, ask questions, and hear how everyday people (busy moms, nurses, teachers, corporate workers, creatives… you name it!) are building something of their own in the travel world.

Travel to financial freedom might be closer than you think.

Comment INFO below or message me directly and I’ll send you the RSVP link.
Let’s make 2025 the year you say YES to more. ✨

Lately, I’ve been using my drive time differently — not just to get from point A to point B, but to grow.

This morning, while heading to a customer meeting for my 9–5, I’m listening to the audiobook “Go For No!” for Network Marketing… and it’s shifting my whole perspective.

The idea behind the book is powerful: success isn’t about chasing yes — it’s about being willing to hear no over and over again, and not letting it stop you. Because every “no” is actually bringing you closer to the next “yes.” The people who succeed aren’t the ones who never get rejected — they’re the ones who don’t let rejection stop them.

I used to avoid the word “no” like the plague — in business, in conversations, in taking risks. But learning how to go for no has helped me build resilience, confidence, and a healthier mindset around failure and growth.

If you’re someone who’s trying to level up, I highly recommend this book. And if you have drive time today — use it to pour into your own growth. It adds up in ways you can’t even imagine yet.

✨ STOP SCROLLING ✨

Real talk:
So many people talk themselves out of doing anything different… especially when it comes to their income.

They overthink.
They doubt.
They play out every worst-case scenario.
And then… nothing changes.

But this picture?
This is what happens when you choose to step outside the box instead of talking yourself out of it.
When you stop believing the story that “now isn’t the right time” or “someone like me can’t do that.”

The truth is — the only thing standing between you and more freedom, more options, more moments like this…
is the limit you keep repeating to yourself.

Imagine what your life could look like a year from now if you stopped talking yourself out of it and finally talked yourself into it.

What’s one belief you’re ready to let go of so you can create more for your future?

These little cuties are dressed and ready for Christmas 🎄I absolutely love this time of year!!

I recently helped a friend with a last-minute trip to Cabo, and it reminded me how much I love what I do. As an Independent Travel Advisor, I use a variety of trusted supplier tools to help people find great options, compare choices, and make their travel planning easier.

Helping others with their vacations also inspires me to plan more for my own family—our next goal is a Christmas trip to NYC, and I love that I can earn commission back on my own personal travel when I book through my partnered suppliers.

If you ever need help exploring options for flights, resorts, cruises, or vacation packages, I’m always happy to share what’s available and guide you through the planning process. Just reach out anytime!

Let’s be real — if you’re waiting until January 1st to change your life, you’ll find another reason to wait when it gets here. 💭

I used to tell myself “I’ll start when things slow down.” But truthfully… life never slows down. I was a mom of 3 working full-time in corporate America, feeling unfulfilled and craving more freedom and purpose.

Saying yes to starting my travel business was the best decision I made — not because I had extra time, but because I finally decided to stop waiting. 🌍✈️

If you’ve been curious about what I do or dreaming of more flexibility, income, and community — this is your sign to start now. Don’t wait for “someday.” Let’s make it happen together. 💕 DM for details!

💭 The Friday Feeling That’s Not So Fulfilling

So many people end the work week feeling completely drained — counting down to the weekend, already dreading Monday before Sunday night even hits.

Yet deep down, they know they’re unfulfilled. They crave something more — more purpose, more balance, more joy. But instead of pursuing something that lights them up… they stay stuck.

Here are the Top 5 Reasons People Stay in a Job That No Longer Serves Them:
1️⃣ Comfort Zone: It’s familiar — even if it’s unfulfilling.
2️⃣ Fear of Failure: “What if it doesn’t work out?”
3️⃣ Financial Pressure: Feeling like there’s never a “good time” to take the leap.
4️⃣ Self-Doubt: Not believing they’re capable of more.
5️⃣ Social Pressure: Worrying what others will think about chasing something new.

The truth? You deserve to feel excited about your work. You deserve to wake up inspired — not exhausted.

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering if there’s more out there for you… there is.

✨ Don’t let another Friday pass feeling stuck. Start exploring what truly lights you up.

There’s something surreal about standing on the land where we’ll build our dream home

It’s more than just property — it’s a reminder of what’s possible when you stay focused and keep showing up for your goals.

This new project has fueled me even more — to keep pushing toward financial freedom, to build a life full of choice and flexibility, and to one day add a second home down south where the sun never stops shining

Every step, every setback, every win… it all leads here. Proof that consistency and belief can turn dreams into foundations.

Starting Friday off right ☕💌 A sweet note from my husband and my coffee waiting for me — the little things really do set the tone for the day. ❤️ Happy Friday!

Don’t underestimate the power of planning early! 🗓️
Booking your flights and resorts in advance doesn’t just secure the best pricing — it also gives you time to customize every detail, from excursions to dining reservations.

✨ Wander Luxe Tip: Aim to book at least 6 months out for international travel and 3 months for domestic trips. You’ll thank yourself later when everything falls into place effortlessly.

“Greatness is in my destiny.”

I’ll be honest — I hesitated to post this because I never want to come across as boastful. But the more I read it, the more I realized… this applies to me.

It’s not about ego — it’s about recognizing the hard work, energy, and heart I’ve poured into what I’m building.

Sometimes we downplay our progress because we don’t want to seem “too confident,” but there’s power in acknowledging how far we’ve come and trusting where we’re headed.

Greatness isn’t arrogance — it’s alignment with your purpose. And I’m learning to embrace that.

Maine in the fall — a travel postcard come to life 🍁✨

We snuck away for an overnight stay at the most incredible property on Lake Champlain, and it was everything we needed — peaceful views, cozy fires, and slow mornings with coffee by the water.

Life gets so busy between work, kids, and everyday routines… but this quick getaway reminded us how important it is to pause, reconnect, and make space for those simple, beautiful moments together.

✈️ Let’s Clear the Air: Common Misconceptions About Travel Agents

I can’t tell you how many times I hear…
❌ “Aren’t travel agents a thing of the past?”
❌ “It’s cheaper to book online myself.”
❌ “You only work with big group trips or luxury clients.”

Here’s the truth 👇

✨ 1. Travel agents save you time — and stress.
From researching flights to comparing resorts and navigating ever-changing policies, I handle all the details so you can actually enjoy the planning process.

✨ 2. You don’t pay extra for my services.
In most cases, my commission comes from the travel supplier — not you! You get the same price (or better) without lifting a finger.

✨ 3. I tailor everything to you.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a corporate retreat, I curate every experience around your style, budget, and priorities.

✨ 4. You have support before, during, and after your trip.
If a flight gets canceled or a resort mix-up happens, you won’t spend hours on hold — I’ll handle it for you.

✨ 5. You gain insider perks.
Think room upgrades, early check-ins, special amenities, and curated local experiences that aren’t always found online.

🌍 At Wander Luxe Travel Concierge, I combine luxury-level service with a personal touch — crafting curated escapes for the modern dreamer.
Whether you’re craving tropical sun, European charm, or a cozy winter escape, your trip deserves to feel seamless, personalized, and elevated.

Some days it’s the big things that keep us going… but most of the time, it’s the little moments that shift everything.

A warm coffee in the morning. A good playlist on the drive. Fresh sheets. Sunshine through the window.

It’s amazing how something so small can completely turn your mood around.

What’s one small thing that instantly boosts your mood?

I’ll go first….☕️

Lately I’ve realized how easy it is to let everything else come before my own health — work, kids, errands, all the things. But this week I’m making a real effort to change that.

I’m focusing on getting back into the gym and moving my body, not for perfection, but for peace. It’s amazing how much clearer my mind feels when I take that time for myself.

So this Monday, I’m choosing to prioritize me — both physically and mentally. Because when I feel good, everything else just flows a little better.

What’s one thing you’re doing for yourself this week?

If there’s one thing about me… I’ve always had a thing for travel.
New places, new memories, new perspectives — I can’t get enough.

At 41, I’m a wife, mom of 3, and still working my corporate job in medical sales (hello, hospital life 👋). Life’s busy, but I finally decided to follow my passion and make travel more than just a hobby.

Now, as a travel agent, I get to do what I love and earn extra income — all without giving up my 9–5 or family time.

If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could do that,” trust me… you can.
This kind of freedom fits right into real life — laundry piles, work calls, and all

I started this journey focused on travel…
but somewhere along the way, I realized it was really about becoming —
becoming more confident, more capable, and more free.

This business has pushed me to grow in ways I never expected — not just financially, but personally.

Self-development isn’t just about what you’re learning… it’s about who you’re becoming while you build. 💫

Real talk! This is something I have always struggled with and it’s still something I struggle with daily!

Negative self-talk is dangerous.
It chips away at your confidence and limits what you believe you can achieve. We’d never talk to a friend the way we talk to ourselves — so why do we do it?

Here’s how to change that:
1. Notice it. Catch yourself when it starts.
2. Challenge it. Ask, “Is this really true?”
3. Reframe it. Turn “I can’t” into “I’m learning.”
4. Be kind to yourself. You deserve grace, too.

Your mindset shapes your reality — start speaking to yourself with the same kindness you give others.

Airport coffee in hand, Green Bay behind me, and Maine on my mind. Ready for a cozy weekend back home.

These views are amazing! I just can’t get enough of them! The property really has everything you could ask for!!

Just arrived at our amazing Airbnb right on Lake Superior — and wow 😍 the beauty here completely took me by surprise! The peaceful water, the crisp air, and those endless views… absolutely breathtaking. This place is such a hidden gem! 🌅💙

We’re getting settled in, but I’ll post more later — you’re definitely going to want to see this view!

✨ Growth takes flight — literally. ✨
As I head to Chicago, I’m using this quiet time in the air to listen to an audiobook and reset my mindset.

Starting my journey in the travel business has been exciting, but like any new venture, it comes with challenges and moments where things don’t always go as planned. This quiet space between the clouds reminds me why I started — to build something meaningful, to create freedom, and to inspire others to chase what lights them up.

Here’s to staying focused, growing through the process, and building a business that helps others see the world and live life fully

#TravelEntrepreneur #MindsetMatters #BuildingMyDream #ChicagoBound #TravelBusiness #KeepGrowing #FreedomLifestyle

Lately, I’ve been really intentional about my self-development journey — not just dreaming about the life I want, but actually creating it. One of the biggest tools helping me stay aligned is my vision board.

Every image, quote, and goal on that board represents something I’m working toward — whether it’s personal growth, wellness, confidence, or building the life I’ve always envisioned. It’s not just about manifesting… it’s about daily action, discipline, and reminding myself of the “why” behind everything I do.

I’ve learned that when you surround yourself with visual reminders of what matters most, your energy shifts — your mindset follows, and your habits start catching up. 🌿

Here’s to setting goals that excite you, chasing growth that challenges you, and becoming the best version of yourself — one intentional step at a time. 💫

Had such a great time last night supporting a local business that’s absolutely crushing it!

They make the coolest custom gear and do incredible screen printing + embroidery work — seriously, their quality and creativity are next-level. 👕🧢

It’s always inspiring to see small businesses pour their heart into what they do. If you need custom shirts, hats, or anything in between, check them out and show some love to local talent! 💛

Yes, I know… I look like a sci-fi villain in my red light mask 😅
But hear me out — this little gadget helps boost collagen, smooth skin, and gives that post-facial glow ✨

It’s quickly become one of my favorite self-care rituals (even if my family runs for cover every time I put it on 😂).

Has anyone else added this to their self care routine?

Apparently “running away to an island” isn’t an acceptable response to corporate emails or toddler tantrums… so I found the next best thing 😂✈️.
I’ve always LOVED traveling—planning trips, exploring new places, and daydreaming about the next stamp in my passport. So I decided to turn that passion into a business, right alongside motherhood and my corporate 9–5.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom who needs an escape plan that doesn’t involve hiding in the pantry, or a corporate mom juggling Zoom calls and snack requests, just know: it IS possible to build something of your own.
I’m proof you can chase big dreams, book flights, pack lunches, and still answer those “quick” emails. This is my new adventure, and I’m taking other moms with me. Stay tuned—or better yet, grab your carry-on 😉

To know Aubrey is to love Aubrey! So thankful I get to be apart of such a wonderful girls life! Not sure how you are in 7th grade but we cant wait to see you crush another year. We love you so much 💕
