In this episode, Erin shares her journey from burnout to business owner, how she navigated a pandemic-era pause, and the patient growth it took to find her niche in luxury dive trips.
They also explore:
- How to align your travel business with your personal values and lifestyle

- Redefining luxury travel through personalization, connection, and thoughtful pacing
