Featured Mom in Business
The Heart Behind The Work
Aftin Eich
Wonder Makers Travel
I’m so honored to be featured this month, and I absolutely LOVE the village we’re creating here.
As a mom and small-business owner, I know how meaningful it is to have women around you who cheer you on, connect with you, and genuinely want to see you succeed. I can’t wait to see how we keep growing and build something really special together.
We’re the Eich Family — my husband, Chris, our son, Spencer, and me (Aftin)! We’re a homeschool family who recently relocated to Texas, and we are absolutely loving the warm weather and our new community.
I’m a travel advisor with Wondermakers Travel, a Scentsy consultant, and a BIG believer in creating community. I love bringing people together, getting out and doing things, and creating anything and everything. Crafting, DIY, decorating, planning if it involves making something beautiful, I’m probably in.
Basically, I’m a living Pinterest board! 😂
How did you get started?
My journey into business started in the corporate world, where I spent years in hospitality and marketing. But after becoming a mom and spending years building someone else’s business, I knew I wanted to create something of my own — something that allowed me to work hard, serve people well, and still be PRESENT for my family.
My travel business started after a Disney trip where I quickly realized how much easier and more valuable travel can be when you have someone in your corner. I dove headfirst into learning everything I could, fell completely in love with travel planning, and three years ago took the leap into entrepreneurship.
Today, I get to combine my hospitality experience, my love of travel, and my passion for serving families while building a business that works WITH my life as a mom, rather than taking me away from it.
“My faith and family are at the heart of everything I do. I want my son to see that you can be a mom, build a business, overcome challenges, break barriers, and still create a meaningful, fulfilling life.”
I also believe moms shouldn’t have to do everything alone. I’m a huge cheerleader for women in business, and I believe we’re better when we support, encourage, and celebrate one another. Whether I’m planning a family vacation or connecting with another mom entrepreneur, I want people to feel cared for.
My hope is to build a business and a life that allows me to serve others well, be present for my family, and create more opportunities for people to CONNECT, make memories, and experience beautiful things. That’s the heart behind the work — and the kind of legacy I want to leave.
Each of the incredible women featured in our Heart Behind The Work Series was nominated by members of The Village for Moms in Business.
These nominations come straight from the heart.
Real stories, real impact, and real recognition from women who have experienced their work firsthand.
Aftin was nominated by Village Founder, Reagan Inez.
Founder’s Note:
“From the group’s start, even from miles away, Aftin has been an active and supportive member by always engaging with others and even choosing to support multiple Village moms through both personal and professional services. She exemplifies everything The Village is about, and now that she’s made her way to Texas, we are so lucky to have her by our side.”
