Staying Authentic As a Multipassionate Travel Business Owner
I’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about seeing new places.
It’s about reconnecting with who we are.
That’s why I was so excited to sit down with Brianna Glenn for this episode.
Her story deeply resonated with me because, like so many of us in this space, she didn’t follow a traditional path into the travel industry — she followed what lit her up.
From Olympic-level athlete to soul-aligned travel entrepreneur, Brianna is proof that when we trust our voice and lead with intention, we create more than just trips… we create transformation.
I know this episode will speak to the part of you that knows you’re meant for something more.
