From Mood Board to Boarding Pass

With Luxury Travel Coach Shanell Varner

A Live Masterclass for the Woman Ready to Travel With Intention — Not Overwhelm

This isn’t about a vacation.

It’s about the quiet weight you feel when even planning rest feels like work.

You’ve been saving destinations, building mood boards, and telling yourself “someday.”

Not because you don’t know where you want to go
but because you’re exhausted from making decisions for everyone else.

Travel was supposed to feel like relief.

Somehow, it became another thing to manage.

Let’s be honest

It’s also NOT about being brave enough to go alone.

It’s about realizing that clarity comes before courage and that intentional travel starts long before you book a flight.

When we plan a trip from exhaustion, it most likely won’t restore you.

But when it’s curated with intention, it can shift how you see your life entirely.

That’s the conversation we’re having in this masterclass.

A woman is standing barefoot on a sandy beach, smiling and laughing, wearing a colorful floral dress. The ocean and a partly cloudy sky are visible in the background, with some rocks along the shoreline and a tree overhead.

In this live session, we’ll explore:

  • Why Pinterest boards don’t translate into lived experiences

  • How decision fatigue shows up in the way you plan rest

  • What it means to design travel around the season you’re in

  • How intentional travel can bring clarity, perspective, and renewal

This is not a booking tutorial.
There are no checklists or hacks.

It’s a pause.
A reframe.


A chance to think differently about travel — and yourself.

Plus, you’ll receive a complimentary guide:

This isn’t about convincing you to go alone.
It’s about helping you understand why intentional solo experiences are so transformative — and how to approach them with confidence and clarity.

Does this sound familiar?
I want to take a solo trip, but I’m not sure I’m ready to sit with myself.”
I don’t even know where to start — and I’m already tired.”
What if I slow down and realize how much I’ve been avoiding?”
I’ve been putting everyone else first for so long… I don’t know how to choose myself.”
If so, listen up: Those aren’t fears. They’re signals that you’re ready for something more intentional.

What happens when women travel with intention

  • "I decided to book my first solo trip about 5 weeks out and Shanell was amazing. She encouraged and assured me that this trip would be amazing and worth it. Shanell was 1000% right.”

    Dora

  • “This trip allowed me to unplug and work on me! Just time alone with my thoughts allowed me to face some hard truths but also find places of peace.“

    Netta

  • "My 1st time going on a trip without Hubby and kids. I was extremely nervous Shanell made it so that everything I wanted in a vacation was executed perfectly! "

You don’t need another vacation.
You need clarity.

I’m Shanell — and I work with women who look like they have it all together… but arrive at travel already tired.

For years, I’ve designed luxury, intentional journeys for women who were craving rest, perspective, and space — but didn’t want to manage one more thing to get there.

I’ve been featured in outlets like SouthPark Magazine and Recommend, but the truth is, what I’m most known for isn’t destinations or itineraries.

It’s helping women slow down long enough to ask better questions — and curating travel that actually supports their life, not escapes from it.

No hustle.
No rushing.
No “prove you can do hard things” energy.

Just intention, clarity, and being held through the experience.

Your passport isn’t the answer.
But clarity might be the beginning.

Stop collecting inspiration.
Start curating experiences that support the woman you’re becoming.
