This lesson was tough I always heard people say money doesn’t solve your problems, but in a way I didn’t really believe them. I mean, if you need more money, then you get more money - it does solve your problems right?! Wrong 🙅🏻‍♀️ After this month and a half, I can say that for certain. I made more money in these last 6 weeks than I ever have in my business (income report to come). But guess what? I also stressed more about money than I ever have before. Funny how that happens right? Little story… My fiancé and I rented a car for two weeks for our road trip from MA to FL. We have status with the car company and have been doing this process for years, so everything is generally a breeze. As we were leaving the rental company, we were told that we would have to pay an extra $200 to have two drivers because we weren’t married. And omg y’all when I tell you I was mad, I was MAD. Yes, an extra $200 is annoying, but usually I would just brush it off and move on. For some reason this time I really couldn’t move on. And it made absolutely no sense. It really made me realize that no amount of money will ever help me feel less stressed. The only thing that will actually help is working on my relationship with money. -To stop feeling guilty about the non-essential purchases -To feel okay not getting the best deal -To splurge a bit on comfort or experience -To buy something even if I could have “done it for free” or “made it myself”. -To not get upset when unexpected charges happen Money can be an amazing thing, but only if you let it be an amazing thing. I am so grateful for all that I have created, but it definitely doesn’t mean all my stressors have gone away. Let the mental work continue 💪🏼 Anyone else still working on their relationship with money? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! P.S. I also want to note that my business income is not my income…1.5 more months till I’m on the payroll 👏🏼 . . . #travelcontentcreator #travelcreator #travelbusiness #travelbusinessowner #travelbiz #travelinfluencer #makemoneyandtravel #workandtravel #travelandwork #moneymindset #moneymindsetshift #moneymind #mindsetwork (at Yauco, Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxD1RKuSZq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tips on course creation ⬇️ My signature course, The Money Making Traveler, launches to the waitlist tomorrow 🥹 I have worked on this course every day for 5 months, so seeing it launch will be a surreal moment for sure. It has been a lot of work, but I have truly loved every second 🙏 I have had so many questions about course creation, so thought I would break it down for y’all! I took about two months to plan out the course components, research how I wanted to create it and where it should be housed, and complete the module research. After this was complete, I launched my Beta version and welcomed 22 amazing money makers inside 🙌🏼. I then took three months to create the slides, film, write the descriptions, and time stamp the 87 video lessons. I want my videos to feel like you are live with me, so I don’t do a ton of scripting or editing. If that is your style, I would recommend another month! -For my slides, I used @canva. -For my platform, I used @stanforcreators -For filming I used @zoom, but would switch to @use_loom in the future for a bit better quality. You can also use QuickTime if you are just doing voice overs or videos. I actually walk you through the basics of this process in my course because it can be a great way to make $$$ and travel 👏🏼 I can’t wait for you to experience The Money Making Traveler! Let me know if you have any questions about TMMT or course creation 🥰 . . . #coursecreator #coursecreation #onlinecourse #onlinecourses #makemoney #makemoneyandtravel #workfromanywhere #workandtravel #travelandwork #travelcontentcreator https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAMq-NuK5q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Why I turned down a global brand 😓 Correction: They ghosted me after I called them out on their BS contract. I was ecstatic when this major brand reached out to partner. I seriously couldn’t believe I was going to work with such a huge company that I love and use often. I felt like I had “made it”. We agreed upon a price and deliverables and they sent me over the contract. I read it over and my stomach sank. I had never seen a contract like that before. They basically wanted me to sign my life away and they certainly were not going to pay enough for it. Although I clearly knew they were taking advantage of me, it still took a lot of guts to stick up for myself. -“What if I say something and they don’t want to work with me anymore.” -“What if I blow my chances forever.” -“But it would look so great to have on my media kit.” -“If I work with a brand like this, people will know I’m legit.” Thankfully, I did not let these fears stop me. I sent them an email back with everything I wanted changed and the additional payments I would need to receive. Crickets. And I’m okay with that. I stuck with my morals and didn’t let them take advantage of me or my services. It’s time like these that I am so happy that I do not rely solely on brand deals. I am grateful that have I built other sources of income that allow me to be super picky about the brands and companies I work with. Follow your gut, know your worth, and when things don’t work out, trust that something better will be coming your way ❤️.

The journey never ends 🙌🏼 It wasn’t always smooth sailing getting to this place. There were many stressful days and many days I though “wtf am I doing”.

This is only the beginning 🙌🏼 Thanks for being here!!! . . . #travelcontentcreator #travelcreator #travelcreatives #contentcreator #travelcommunity #travelfamily #travelbusiness #travelbusinessowner #entrepeneurs #femaleentrepreneur #femalebusinessowner #workandtravel #travelandwork #traveltheworldtoday #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #businesscoach #investinyourself #investinyourdreams https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8yYHGuR3w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When the business you created so you can travel more, is now holding you back from traveling 👎🏼 Well, it’s not actually my business. It’s me (Hi, I’m the problem 😅) As my business continues to scale, I am finding myself with more and more responsibilities. More areas where I need to show up, provide, educate, learn, and create. Of course I can do these things when traveling, but the intrusive thoughts still come. What if I can’t connect to wifi? What if my computer gets stolen? What if I lose my phone? What if I can’t find a place to film? What if I miss that email? What if I can’t get on that call? What if what if what if! It’s times like these when I need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Are these things the end of the world? No. Is there always a solution? Yes. Solo travel has for sure taught me that! Do you have fears around growth and leveling up?

30th Country & Updates ⬇️ In 2017, I made a bucket list of things I wanted to do before 30. One of those things was hit 30 countries. This September, I took the bus from London to Belgium and checked off a major bucket list goal 🥹 Belgium, especially Bruges, absolutely blew me away. I couldn’t have picked a better 30th country! Since being back in states, I have had time to reflect on my 7 month journey. I really didn’t think I changed that much during that time, but boy was I wrong. I have evolved so much and that is causing me to want to evolve my travels, my business, and this account. What does that mean? I want more for myself and this community. I want to empower. I want to support. I want to encourage. I want to have FUN! I want to travel more intentionally, which for me means going out of my way to support women owned businesses. I am no longer feeling called to share “Top things to do in xyz” or “What do to in xyz.” I want to share personal stories and experiences. For content, you will definitely hear me talking more about ways to make money while you travel. It’s almost 2023 and I want all my ladies to have businesses and side hustles they enjoy! It’s truly the golden age for this 🎉 If the evolution of myself, this account, and my content is no longer of interest or no longer serves you, then please do not feel like you have to stay in this community. ❤️ But if you are excited for all that is to come (I certainly am 🥹) then I hope you will continue to join me on this wild ride. I love you all so much and I am so thankful for each and every one of you! . . . #travelcommunity #travelcontentcreator #smallbusinessowner #solofemaletraveler #workandtravel #makemoneyandtravel #visitbelgium #visitbrugge (at Bruges, Belgium) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck3x3ccvfY9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

24hrs in Sopot ⬇️ [SAVE 📌] Myself and a few other travel creators had the pleasure of exploring @visit.sopot.pl for an overnight in October. Here are all the fun things we did that I would highly recommend! P.S. I did not go here solo, but it would make a perfect solo trip based on safety, walkability, accessibility, activities, and cost 🙌🏼 Stay: I stayed at @sopotpark45 and loved it! It was a unique bungalow that was 2 minutes from the beach and the bike path. They also had a restaurant and rooftop! 1.) @kaiser_patisserie for coffee and the dreamiest pastries. 2.) Sightseeing tour of Sopot on bikes. 3.) @mammamiasopot to taste the healing brine waters with a view. 4.) Take in all the lovely buildings and architecture. 5.) @operalesna to see the stunning open-air forest opera. 6.) Have a stroll through the many city parks. 7.) @fisherman.by.koziorzemski for the best seafood and wine in Sopot! 8.) @sopotmarriott @meraspasopot for a body treatment & luxury spa experience. 9.) Shop the town at the many shopping streets and malls. 10.) And of course the beach and @sopot__marina to see the longest wooden pier in Europe! Who had Sopot on their list?! . . . #hosted #visitsopot #sopot #sopotpoland #visitpoland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cka-oyLMDmO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
