How Stacy Travels Monthly, Saves $17K in one year, and Says Yes to Every Adventure

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my client Stacy, a member of the Travel Points Lounge, who has completely transformed the way her family experiences life — one trip at a time. Stacy didn't just learn how to use points. She used them. Every. Single. Month. In 2025 alone, she saved over $18,000 in travel — and she's here to tell us exactly what that looks like in real life. We get into all of it — the trips, the mindset shift, and the parts nobody talks about: how traveling more has strengthened her marriage, deepened her connection with her kids, and changed the way she moves through the world. In this episode, we cover: * Why Stacy decided to start prioritizing travel (and what finally made it click) * The trips she's taken — and how she booked them using points * How traveling every month has impacted her marriage and family relationships * What she'd say to anyone who thinks this is "too complicated" or "not for me" * Why she joined the Travel Points Lounge and how the community changed everything The real talk: This isn't a highlight reel. Stacy shares what it actually took to go from "someday" to monthly adventures — and why the investment in learning this skill was worth every penny. If you've been on the fence about whether this is possible for your life, this episode is your sign.

What If I Did?

This one's different. I'm stepping away from the usual tips and strategies to share something more personal — what happened when I said yes to an opportunity, got on a plane, and came back with a vision so big it scared me a little. Last week I attended a live event and it completely shifted the way I see Points Too Paradise, the women I want to serve, and the role I'm meant to play in this space. I came back with a clear message burning inside me: more women need to be traveling for free, and I need to be the one helping them get there — from the stage, from the screen, from everywhere. In this episode I'm sharing what I experienced, what it stirred up in me, and the question that's been sitting with me ever since: What if I did? What if you took the chance, bet on yourself, and it actually worked? I also want to personally invite you into what's happening this week — my free workshop is LIVE, and the doors to Travel Points Academy are open. If something in this episode stirs something in you, that's your sign. What We Talk About: * Why I went to this event and what I was hoping to get out of it * The moment in the room where everything clicked — and the vision I came home with * What "making a bigger impact" actually looks like for me now * Speaking on stages: why it's next for me and what that means for this community * The question I keep coming back to — What if I did? * Why I'm sharing this with you and what I hope it sparks in you Links & Resources Mentioned: * Free Workshop [https://calendly.com/pointstooparadise/workshop] * Travel Points Academy [https://pointstooparadise.com/travel-points-academy] → turn your everyday spending into free flights and hotel stays * Follow me on Instagram → @pointstooparadise Loved This Episode? Screenshot it, share it to your stories, and tag me @pointstooparadise. I want to hear what landed for you. And if the question "what if I did?" hits home for you right now — send me a DM.
