This episode is part anniversary reflection, part business intervention.

On her 19th wedding anniversary, Marcie Muensterman draws a bold parallel between marriage and building a travel business. Because here’s the truth: you cannot build long-term success with casual ass energy.

If you want commitment-level results, you need commitment-level standards.

In this episode, Marcie talks about:

• The difference between dating your business and being married to it
• Why burnout is often a boundary problem
• How toxic host relationships mirror unhealthy partnerships
• The danger of 16-hour workdays
• Why six-figure travel advisors don’t operate like employees
• The symbolism of the Year of the Horse (momentum, stamina, independence)
• How to reset your business without burning it down
• The real reason you’re stuck (and how to fix it)

This is not fluffy motivation. This is accountability wrapped in love.

If you’ve been:

• Working nonstop and feeling resentful
• Afraid to leave a bad host
• Scared to charge fees
• Hoping someone else fixes your business
  
  

This episode is your wake-up call.

💌 Homework Assignment:
Write a love letter to your future CEO self. Seal it. Open it one year from now.

Because long-game energy builds long-term wealth.
