From van life to cabin life, my guests today are giving us the inside view of what it’s like to do both! Jaz and Crystal, also known as @vanwives, are with me today to talk all about off-grid living and content creation! They have been building an off-grid cabin for the past year and documenting it all along the way. We talk about short form vs long form content, tips on starting a YouTube channel, and what it’s been like building a cabin in a Canadian winter. Do they freeze in the outhouse? Do they regret their decision? Listen to this week’s episode to find out!

You asked and I delivered, my parents are back for a life update! Since I was home for a few days I thought it was the perfect time to catch up with them here on the podcast. We dive into my parents' thoughts on the engagement & wedding planning, the family dogs (Daisy & RIP Delilah), Henry's experience using my dad's ice bath right before this recording, and an abundance of Disney hacks & tips since we are a *Disney family* and it’s the most magical place to be!

Are you interested in becoming a content creator but don’t know where to start? In this week’s episode, Jo Johnson Overby joins me to talk all about her journey of becoming a content creator and going from being a wedding photographer to retiring her husband! We also get into how it’s been renovating her dream home (which I’m obsessed with), becoming a mom, and why you should follow your gut and go down the path that feels right to you!

Today we are sitting down with my good friends Gene + Shay! They are a queer couple that started their van life journey in 2020 in their 1984 dodge campervan and two cats Bean + Sprout. We’re diving into what it’s like to have two cats on the road, queer van life including how Gene (they/them) navigates places as a non-binary individual, their timelines of coming out, and the lessons that they have learned on the road. They also remind us that things will test you on the road but it’s always worth it!

Can you believe it, WE’RE ENGAGED! I was completely surprised and we could not be happier! It really feels like one chapter closed and another opened and I’m romanticizing every moment of it. And since you’ve all been an integral part of our love story, we wanted to share everything with you as a newly engaged couple here on the podcast! From the timeline of our engagement, to how Henry picked the ring, and the weeks leading up to it, you’ll hear exactly how it happened and what’s next for our family. We also get into our parent’s engagements and how we are feeling about our new label!

So in this solo episode, I’m getting back to oversharing all of the life updates you’ve been curious about from this past year. We’re diving into an update on Ella, Pearl, and Finn (and our foster dog Abigail!), how mine and Henry’s relationship is, my new van build, what I’ve been working on BTS, and of course, a mental health update. I am so grateful that you are here and we are officially back with a juicy new season full of friend interviews with different perspectives from van life to home life.

Are we secretly engaged? Do we live in vans for the clout? This week on Instagram I asked you guys to tell me assumptions that you had about myself, my relationship with Henry, the dogs, etc. Some of them were hilarious and some of them were ridiculous! We address all your juicy assumptions so listen now!

Renee Roaming joins us this week to talk all things travel & business + share tons of advice for you all. She opens up about how she got started, what it was like moving to the US, how she manages working full time with her husband and what she would tell someone wishing they were in her shoes.

The episode that we've all been waiting for and that made me MELT during the recording. Henry and I share how things went from a 2 year friendship to the relationship we have now. Who started the conversation, what was said and then a Q&A to answer YOUR questions.

Courtnie from @courtandnate shares with us this week how they built their van while living in it, got out of debt because of van life, raised a difficult puppy on the road and began building vans for others looking to start their dream of being travelers!

From sitting across a friend in a coffee shop to creating my own coffee collection, I want to tell you exactly how I made it happen. I also share how the whole journey went so perfectly.. Until sh*t completely hit the fan. There might even be some new ideas leaked in this episode + changes I'm already making to the coffee brand to make your experience perfect!

Meet my one and only sibling, Kasey! She is 3 years older than me and living her very own version of happiness. With a son, husband and mortgage, her world looks very different than mine. So how were we raised completely the same but end up total opposites? Let's talk about it!
